“Happily Ever After” might not always be the end result in Hollywood,
but some former couples are able to at least achieve happiness– even without staying
together.
We’re breaking down a few of the friendliest celeb exes, so let’s get into it.
Any time a celeb couple we adore announces their amicable split, it tugs at our heartstrings,
but there’s nothing more relieving than knowing that the celeb couple still has love
for each other, down to their very cores.
Case in point, Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello were recently spotted walking their dog Tarzan
together through a park in Miami months after their split.
Many recall the shocking announcement they each made together back in November, assuring
fans that their “love for one another is stronger than ever,” adding, “We started
our relationship as best friends and will continue to be best friends.”
The two revealed Tarzan to the world back in 2020 when they were living together in
quarantine, and have clearly been able to co-pup-parent amicably, especially after it
was rumored that Camila keeping Tarzan after their breakup made Shawn upset over the separation
from him.
Gigi Hadid and Zayn Malik also seem to be co-parenting as amicably as possible, as they
were also spotted in December, taking their daughter Khai to Adventure Aquarium in New
Jersey, following their tense split in October that allegedly involved a physical altercation
between Zayn and Gigi’s mother Yolanda Hadid.
According to celebrity gossip account Deux Moi, Gigi and Zayn were spotted on the outing
just before Christmas, which happens to come months after Zayn’s alleged dispute with
Yolanda, in which she claimed that “Zayn struck her” – which he has since strongly
denied.
Despite the fact that Gigi’s family has since unfollowed Zayn on Instagram, and the
two have allegedly parted ways, they seem to be clear on keeping the well-being of their
daughter at the forefront of their priorities, which we’ve got to respect.
Speaking of babies, there’s nothing like friendly celeb ex GOALS, like Taylor Swift
sending her ex-boyfriend Joe Jonas’ daughter Willa– baby gifts!
Taylor and Joe dated for three months back in 2008, and Taylor never let the world forget
about their awkward breakup, when she told Ellen Degeneres about “the boy who broke
up with me over the phone in 25 seconds when I was 18.”
The two have since come a long way, so much so that Tay even hung out with Joe on multiple
occasions when he and her friend Gigi dated back in 2015.
Not to mention, Taylor even admitted in 2016 that she regretted calling Joe out on The
Ellen Show.
“We laugh about it now, but that was some mouthy… yeah, just some teenage stuff there.”
In Tay’s song “Invisible String” off her 2020 album folklore, she sings about the
kind gesture in the lyric that reads, “Cold was the steel of my axe to grind/ For the
boys who broke my heart/ Now I send their babies presents.”
Joe has also kept the peace with another ex – he and Demi Lovato dated for about four
months back in 2010, following the release of Camp Rock: The Final Jam, which they both
starred in.
The ex-Disney stars reunited back in 2021 during a Halloween party when Joe posted a
selfie of he and Demi with a purple heart emoji, which Demi later reshared on their
own I-G story.
Their 2010 split didn’t appear to lead to tension of any sort as Joe issued a joint
statement to Us Weekly at the time of their separation, saying, “Demi and I knew going
into our romantic relationship that it may not be an easy one.
I realize over the time we have shared together that I feel I care more about our friendship
right now.”
Miley Cyrus and Cody Simpson have also managed to keep things amicable, following their breakup
back in 2020, especially since their relationship began on a friendship foundation– years
prior.
Miley and Cody dated, following her split from Liam Hemsworth and a quick fling with
Kaitlynn Carter, but Cody was quick to continue his support for Miley after the release of
her single “Midnight Sky” when he posted a screenshot of the two FaceTiming to his
IG story.
He captioned the photo, “Congratulations to the most special of all.
Go cop that new new!”
When speaking on their split after the fact, Cody opened up to 60 Minutes, telling the
outlet, “Everything ended fairly amicably.
It was just one of those phases I guess you go through and you learn a lot from it.”
And finally, one of the most talked-about “what could’ve been” relationships in
Hollywood STILL to this day has fans wishing Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston would’ve
seen it through, following their 2005 divorce.
We won’t even get into the Brangelina era, which is a bit touchy to most fans, but following
Brad’s finalized split with Angelina Jolie in 2019, let’s just say the fans became
hopeful of a Brad and Jenn reunion.
The 2020 SAG Awards left an even bigger glimmer of hope, as the two reunited backstage and
shared a sweet hug, and not long after, they reunited on camera during the “Fast Times
at Ridgemont High” table read that basically broke the Internet.
“Hi Brad.
You know how cute I always thought you were.
I think you’re so sexy.
Will you come to me?”
Rest assured, Jenn was quick to do major damage control before the rumors got out of hand,
later telling People that the table read was “absolutely fun,” and she and Brad are
“buddies.”
She added, “We speak, and there's no oddness at all, except for everyone that probably
watched it and was wanting there to be, or assumed there to be.
We had fun, and it was for a great cause."
I guess we’ll take what we can get… for now!
