They ended up as best friends, and still are to this day.

Sarah Silverman seems to be pretty mature about these things. She dated actor Michael Sheen for four years and became good friends with his ex Kate Beckinsale, who he broke up with in 2002.
Reese Witherspoon was married to her 'Cruel Intentions' (1999) co-star Ryan Phillippe for seven years. They had two children together before divorcing in 2006, and now Witherspoon is happily married to talent agent Jim Toth.
Beckinsale and Sheen are still in each other's lives and share two children, and Silverman and Beckinsale became friends. Beckinsale even sent the couple personalized M&Ms with their faces printed on them one Christmas! The two women stayed friends even after Silverman and Sheen broke up.
Reed addressed the rumors in a long Instagram post, stating that the two were still friends and that the stories were made up by tabloids who wanted to pit them against each other to sell papers. Dobrev shared a photo of herself having dinner with Reed and Somerhalder, with the caption "Farewell dinner with team Somereed! So good catching up with these goofballs. All ❤."
'The Vampire Diaries' star Ian Somerhalder is currently married to Nikki Reed, who appeared in the 'Twilight' film franchise. Somerhalder previously dated his co-star, Nina Dobrev.
Jimmy Kimmel has been married to screenwriter Molly McNearney since 2013. Before he settled down, his dating history included the famous comedian Sarah Silverman. The two dated from 2003 to 2008 before breaking up. But after some time apart, they were able to develop a strong friendship.
Former baseball star Alex Rodriguez is perhaps best known for his four-year relationship with Jennifer Lopez, but before that he was married to Cynthia Scurtis, with whom he shares two children.

Demi Moore has had two very famous marriages. She was married to Bruce Willis and they had three daughters together before splitting in 1998. Then in 2005 she married Ashton Kutcher, who is 15 years younger than her.
You'd think this might cause some tension, but Kutcher fit right in with the family! They would all come together for family occasions and Willis even attended the wedding.
If this picture is anything to go by, they were definitely bros. Bruce Willis' marriage to actress Emma Hemming withstood the test of time, but Moore's marriage to Kutcher did not.
These close friendships also include Chris Martin's long-term girlfriend, Dakota Johnson. Paltrow and Johnson are now good friends too. Paltrow told Harper's Bazaar: “I love her. I can see how it would seem weird because it’s sort of unconventional. But I think, in this case, just having passed through it iteratively, I just adore her."
Nikki Reed was friends with Nina Dobrev before either of them dated Ian Somerhalder, and apparently they're still friends! Dobrev and Somerhalder were together for three years while filming 'The Vampire Diaries.' There were baseless rumors circulating that Reed and Dobrev had some kind of feud going on due to Reed marrying her friend's ex.
Jimmy Kimmel even gave the speech honoring Silverman when she was added to the Hollywood Walk of Fame. McNearney is a fan of Silverman's and encouraged Kimmel to have her as a guest on his talk show. "She's always so kind to me, she's so warm, and I just admire her on so many levels, personally and professionally. I think it's a great example that you don't have to cut your exes out of our life," said McNearney.
In fact, both men reportedly wore matching rings that Momoa bought as a symbol of their friendship!
Luckily, Moore is just as laid-back and accepting as her ex-husband. She is still friends with him as well as his wife. Emma Hemming Willis gave a shoutout to Moore when she published her memoir, posting an Instagram photo of Willis holding the book with the caption "We adore you."
Kerr spoke about her relationship with Perry on a podcast and made her feelings pretty clear! "We go on holidays together. We celebrate all the important milestones together…I love her. I mean, it'd be safe to say that I love her more than Flynn's dad," Kerr said of the pop star. She went on to refer to Bloom as more of an annoying brother...
Drew Barrymore and Will Kopelman were married from 2012 to 2016 and had two children together. Kopelman remarried in 2021 to Allie Michler, and all three are now happily co-parenting.
They all met up to celebrate Halloween with the kids in October. "I went trick-or-treating on Sunday with Will and his beautiful wife Allie, my daughters' wonderful stepmother," Barrymore said. "I think, honestly, this is so ideal. It is the dream and I love seeing this, I really do. It's very positive."
It's not easy to be friends with your ex after a breakup or divorce. The old hurts and resentments can trip you up when you see them, and you just end up rehashing old arguments. What's even more difficult is to maintain a friendship with your ex and their new partner! It's weird to see your ex falling in love with someone new, and treating them the way they used to treat you.
Despite all of these difficulties, many celebrities have managed to pull it off. In many cases, children are the uniting factor. If you've got to stay in each other's lives because of shared children, then you might as well make the best of it! From joint vacations to professional collaborations, many stars show us how a modern family really looks.
Katy Perry and Miranda Kerr are great examples of that, as the singer is currently engaged to the model's ex-husband Orlando Bloom, and yet the women looked like close friends on the red carpet of the G'Day USA Arts Gala in Los Angeles on January 28. That night, Kerr actually received the Excellence in the Arts award from Perry, who took a moment to acknowledge how weird the situation might seem.
"Some of you might be confused about why I'm introducing Miranda. That doesn't play into the antiquated narrative of ex-wives and new wives," Perry told the audience, per People. "And yes, it's true, most of the media would like to see us mud wrestle, including [her husband] Evan [Spiegel], but we are here to lead by love because Miranda is love," she continued. "And as a lot of you know, love comes in many family iterations."
Perry praised Kerr for "living her truth every day with grace and beauty," and being so "dedicated to her three beautiful boys, her partner, and that smoking hot bod." She added, "I'm so grateful for our modern blended family. It's like I gained another sister, one with whom I usually sidebar from the main family chat and agree with."
