As Abba themselves put it, “breaking up is ever easy” - and that’s definitely true when the two people involved are in the public eye.
Splitting up from someone is bad enough, without constant press intrusion, media interest and people on Twitter picking apart every outfit you put on, every selfie you take and even the facial expressions you make in TV interviews.
Of course, the recently separated couple currently under the media microscope is Zayn Malik and Perrie Edwards.
Previously known as one of pop music’s hottest pairings, the pair are now known as two tabloid staples, with every move they make hitting the headlines, if there’s any chance of relating it to their split.

Perrie Edwards
Zayn is managing to keep moderately under the radar - thanks, in part, to the fact that he’s quietly working on his solo material - but Perrie doesn’t have that luxury, as she and her Little Mix bandmates are in the US promoting their latest single, ‘Black Magic’.
She isn’t the only star to gain our admiration for the way she’s handled a break-up though. Here are 10 celebs who got through their very public split like a total boss…

Let's be honest, break-ups can be messy, particularly in the glare of the spotlight, so it's good to see when two celebrities can put their differences aside and still be friends, as Cameron and Justin did - even eventually going on to star in 'Bad Teacher' together.

Now that's how you tackle a break-up like a boss. (credit:Sonia Moskowitz via Getty Images)

And speaking of how to flawlessly handle a break-up...The media coverage surrounding Jennifer Aniston for the decade after her split from Brad Pitt, was often unnecessary, cruel and steeped in sexism. Through it all, though, she kept her head high, kept on working and, more importantly, smiling away, despite what was said about her in the press.Now she's one of the five highest-paid actresses in the world, and recently married her long-time partner, Justin Theroux.
