10 Celeb Exes That Became Friends Again And 10 That Went No Contact
For most people, it’s unusual to stay friends with an ex. Breakups are uncomfortable, and a lot of times, someone walks away with bad feelings about the situation.
But some people can inexplicably let bygones be bygones and still get together, and even share a laugh.
There are celebrity couples who fall into each camp.
1. Bruce Willis and Demi Moore could teach a master class in blending families.

In 2007, Bruce met current wife Emma Heming, whom he married two years later. Emma and Demi regularly are seen in pictures together and comment on each other’s social media, blending their combined five daughters as well.2. But Katy Perry and Russell Brand prove that some goodbyes are forever.
Jb Lacroix / WireImageAccording to Perry, the two never spoke again after he texted her, informing her that he was filing for porce after two years of marriage.
3. Natasha Lyonne and Fred Armisen can laugh about their split after seven years together.

“You know, Freddie and I, we dated for seven years. We were the only couple with a sex tape that nobody wanted to buy,” she joked during her monologue.
4. Sandra Bullock and Jesse James cannot.

5. Jenna Dewan and Channing Tatum might catch lunch together from time to time.
Jason Laveris / FilmMagicSpeaking on their dynamic in 2018, Dewan explained, “We started out as friends, and I would say it was an instant recognition. When we met [on the set of Step Up in 2005] it felt like we had known each other for many years. Ultimately, no matter what Chan and I are doing, we’re really great friends. I think that will never change, no matter what.”
6. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie could never.

7. Mindy Kaling and B.J. Novak definitely hang out.
Stefanie Keenan / Getty Images for Academy Museum of Motion PicturesExplaining her bond with her best friend and ex, Kaling told Drew Barrymore, “He is a wonderful friend, and he is the godparent of both my kids, and he loves children, and they’re so attached to him.”
“He’s really part of our family, but we’ve known each other for a long, long time, and I think anyone who’s been friends with someone for 18, 19 years and at one point dated and now doesn’t, they maybe understand this,” she continued. “You have exes that you wouldn’t necessarily marry now.”
8. Sophia Bush and Chad Michael Murray definitely do not.
Jeff Kravitz / FilmMagic, IncOver the years, Bush admitted that she and Murray were reluctant about tying the knot, being so young and mixed up personally and professionally. In August 2021, she declared she wouldn’t talk about her ex anymore, calling him, “somebody who I don’t even know anymore.”
9. Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin “consciously uncoupled” and have no trouble getting together for their kids.
Larry Busacca / NBC / Getty ImagesIn a January 2019 interview, Paltrow explained her perspective on their 2013 split after a decade together.
“Family structure can be reinvented, and porce doesn’t have to be devastating,” Paltrow told the Evening Standard. “It doesn’t have to be the end of your relationship with somebody.”
“I think Chris and I were meant to be together and have our kids,” Paltrow continued. “But our relationship is much better like this: friends and co-parents and family.”
10. John Mayer and Taylor swift aren’t just never getting back together; they’re harboring some rough feelings.
Theo Wargo / WireImageMayer told Rolling Stone that Swift’s “Dear John” was a “lousy thing for her to do” to him.
“Because I didn’t deserve it. I’m pretty good at taking accountability now, and I never did anything to deserve that.”
11. Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber moved on romantically, but still crush it as co-parents.
Dominik Magdziak Photography / Getty Images“We’re doing things very differently,” the actress told Net-A-Porter in 2019. “I’m pretty proud of us, corny as that may sound. We’ve made it our absolute priority to be good and kind to each other, and we’re absolutely committed to that.”
12. From all appearances, that is not the case for Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes.
Alberto E. Rodriguez / Getty ImagesThe two have reportedly not said a word to each other since 2015.
13. Sarah Silverman and Jimmy Kimmel are friends again, but admit it wasn’t immediate.
Variety / Penske Media via Getty Images“I would say that it took some time, definitely,” Kimmel told Entertainment Tonight. “It definitely took some time. It was never like where we didn’t like each other, hated each other or anything like that. But it definitely took some time to be comfortable enough to be friends again.”
14. Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake never got to that point.
Denise Truscello / WireImageSpears slammed Timberlake for his role in the many ups and downs of her life on Instagram as recently as 2022.
15. Courteney Cox counts David Arquette among her best friends.
John Shearer / WireImageLess than two years after their split, Cox had no problem calling Arquette one of her best friends in an interview with People.
“He’s my favorite person in the world,” she said at the Cougar Town TCA party in 2012. “He’s my best friend. No matter what happens in our future, he’s my very best friend.”
16. Ciara and Future are not that close.
Marcel Thomas / FilmMagicFuture has publicly feuded with both Ciara and Russell Wilson in the past, though the three continue to co-parent son Future Zahir together.
17. Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe have a friendship beyond coparenting their two kids.
Jim Spellman / WireImage“We did a good job as co-parents, and I knew that we would even back when we were very young. We met at her 21st birthday party, and then she was with child, but — knowing how volatile Hollywood relationships can be — I knew that even if we didn’t make it, she would be a great person to raise kids with. I’ve never said a bad word about her or our past, and I never would. I respect and admire her, and we made some pretty great and beautiful kids,” he told the Irish Times in 2022.
18. Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey have never had a kind word to say about each other.
Denise Truscello / WireImageNick Lachey made shady comments about finding love with Vanessa Minnillo in his second marriage in November 2022, and it wasn’t the first time either of them slammed their former union.
Simpson, in her memoir Open Book, said of her marriage to the former 98 Degrees boybander, “We were young and pioneering our way through reality television, always miced and always on. We worked, and we were great at it, but when it came time to being alone, we weren’t great at it anymore.”
19. Miranda Kerr and Orlando Bloom have been able to patch things up.
Alo Ceballos / FilmMagicKerr is even close with Bloom’s fiancé, Katy Perry.
20. Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert never made peace.
Jason Merritt / Getty ImagesWhile there doesn’t seem to be any active bad blood between the former country power couple, the two moved on without a particularly kind word about the other.
