Friendship after divorce: Hollywood celebrities who maintained good relatio

Hollywood is famous for its ugly divorces without any hint of a reunion. However, among its inhabitants there are those who support each other even after the end of their marital relationship. Bruce Willis and Demi Moore are role models. They spend time together with their common children, as well as new partners. And they have followers...

Demi Moore and Bruce Willis

The two married in 1987 and had three daughters, Rumer, Scout and Tallulah. But their union broke up in 2000. After that, both found other partners. Willis married fashion model Emma Heming and became the father of two more daughters, Maybelle and Evelyn. Moore was married to actor Ashton Kutcher from 2005 to 2013. “We have three children that we continue to raise together, and we are closer now than ever,” Bruce told Rolling Stone in 2000. “We are aware of our responsibilities to our children and continue to be friends, and have left all the formalities behind.” The former spouses not only supported each other at the premieres, but also spent most of the coronavirus pandemic together. And even now, as Willis battles frontotemporal dementia, Moore is a frequent visitor to his home.

Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin

The couple, who brought the term “conscious separation” into the public consciousness, not only continues to raise their daughter Apple and son Moses, but are also friends. They got married in 2003 and announced their separation in 2014. Since then, Gwyneth has married producer Brad Falchuk, and Martin has been living with actress Dakota Johnson since 2017. “Chris and I were meant to be together for the sake of our children, but our relationship is so much more than that. We are friends, parents and, after all, family,” Paltrow told People in 2019.

Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt

Jennifer and Brad's breakup was painful at first, but time, as they say, heals. They divorced in 2005 after five years of marriage. “Jen and I continue to be friends and communicate, you can’t just erase that,” Pitt told V magazine in 2007. “I always believed that no one should care about this - at least not the affairs of the heart of strangers.” You will never know how many days you have left and what your life should be like.” For her part, Aniston is philosophical about her ex-husbands. “I’ve had successful marriages,” she told People in 2019. “And when they came to an end, the choice was made in favor of happiness, because it sometimes disappears from this structure.” In February 2019, Pitt attended his ex-wife's 50th birthday, and a video of their meeting at the SAG Awards in 2020 went viral online. “We’re talking, there’s nothing strange about it, except that everyone assumes that it definitely means something,” Jennifer commented with a smile on the said video in a conversation with Howard Stern.

1. Drew Barrymore and Will Kopelman

Drew Barrymore often discusses ex-husbands on her TV show of the same name. In 2016, after four years of marriage, her second union with businessman Will Kopelman broke up. They have two daughters growing up - Olive and Frankie. “I am raising children with one person and despite the fact that we are no longer married, and moreover, he is married to the beautiful Ellie, our wonderful stepmother, we share responsibilities every day, and our relationship is as good as ever,” Drew told Kate Hudson in January 2023. “We should protect exes, not be friends, especially when a new person has entered their lives.” Barrymore also maintains a good relationship with musician Tom Green, to whom she was married from 2001 to 2002. They reunited in a television studio in September 2020, when Tom came to participate in his ex-wife's program.

Lisa Bonet and Lenny Kravitz

The actress and musician divorced in 1993 after six years of marriage, remaining friends. They have a daughter, Zoe, who followed in her mother’s footsteps and is now acting in films. In 2017, Lisa married Jason Momoa, but in 2022 this union also broke up. Lenny, for his part, always speaks positively about his ex-wife. “We are like brother and sister. After breaking up, we found a new relationship. And then she introduced me to Jason and we became friends. He loves my daughter, and I love their children, we are all one big family. “It’s wonderful,” Kravitz told People in 2019.” Kravitz later added in an interview with Men's Health in November 2022: “People don't believe how close we are to each other. We just do what we do. You let love lead you, don't you? I suppose, especially after the divorce. It works. Of course it takes effort and time, healing and memories.”

Anna Faris and Chris Pratt

The two were married for eight years before splitting in August 2017. Now they are friends and are raising their son Jack together. “We have become much closer and I really appreciate it. They protect me, and I want to protect them. So I really appreciate this support,” Faris told Marie Claire in May 2018. The Marvel star married Arnold Schwarzenegger's daughter in 2019, and his ex-wife married producer and director Michael Barrett in 2021.

Courteney Cox and David Arquette

Courtney will always stand by her ex-husband. They met in 1999 on the set of the horror film Scream, when Cox was at the height of her fame working on the TV series Friends. In 2013, they finalized their divorce, but this did not stop them from continuing to star in the famous franchise and talk about themselves in various interviews as “best friends.”
