Can You Really Be Best Friends With Your Ex? These Celebrities Seem To Have Managed It

Celebrity Exes Who Really Are Best Friends

“Can we still be friends?” These are the words we always say at the end of a relationship, but rarely mean.

But, somehow, the people on the planet you'd think would have egos too large to trump any chance of a truce, seem to be able to pull it off.

We're talking about celebrities, like Madonna and Sean Penn, who married in a great paparazzi whirl of helicopter dust in 1985, and divorced 25 years ago this weekend.

They way they were...

The pair, comprising the famously volatile Oscar-winning Penn, and the ruthless cut-her-losses Madge, seem to still genuinely get on - last seen hanging out together on a trip to Haiti last November, a full two and a half decades after Madonna described their screaming rows, and how on one occasion her estranged husband tied her to a chair.

Time obviously heals all such wounds... or is that the celebrity bubble is such a small world, you have to grin and bear it because you're always going to bump into your ex somewhere along the trail? After all, even Jennifer Aniston managed a smile (small) for her ex-husband Brad Pitt when their paths crossed at the Oscars.

Here is our list of admirable exes who've gone one better...
