Friendship with exes is a new trend in Hollywood. Who of the celebrities communicates with their "ex"?
Previously, divorce among Hollywood celebrities became the subject of discussion of all media and fans for the next few months, or even years. The stars themselves only fueled the interest of the public, because they avoided each other's company in every possible way, described the gap in all colors and arranged long lawsuits for the division of property or other valuables.
Now in Hollywood, it seems, a new trend is gaining momentum — to be in a warm relationship with your exes. See for yourself how many couples (ex-couples) still appear together everywhere, and some even appoint their "ex" godparents of children from a second marriage!
Liz Hurley and Hugh Grant
The romance of Liz Hurley and Hugh Grant began on the set back in 1987. The young actress at that time was simply charmed by a talented young guy, so soon their mutual sympathy turned into something more, namely, a marriage of 13 years long.
This couple was called one of the most beautiful and spectacular in Hollywood. The beautiful Liz and the charismatic Hugh attracted the attention of all the paparazzi when they appeared together on the red carpet. But they did not have a chance to live happily ever after — in 2000, the couple separated. The reason for the quarrel, as Liz explained later, was "inappropriate behavior" on the part of her husband.
What exactly she meant is not entirely clear. However, journalists have repeatedly caught Grant "dating" on the side, and once the actor even got caught on the call of a prostitute. But even after that, Liz forgave her "faithful", so it's hard to imagine what he did, since the thicket of patience of the actress ran out.
Nevertheless, despite all the past grievances, Liz and Hugh have maintained friendly relations for many years. Moreover, the girl invited her ex-husband to become the godfather of her son Damian.

But, fortunately or unfortunately, this story did not end with a happy ending — at the end of 2013, Bloom and Kerr informed the world about their divorce.
Miranda later admitted that the separation from her husband caused her prolonged depression. Orlando, apparently, endured this event much easier: soon after the dissolution of his marriage, he had a series of affairs with other famous actresses and singers. The last one was Katy Perry, with whom Bloom is dating to this day.
Orlando Bloom calls his ex-wife a "wonderful friend" and a "wonderful mother," because, despite all the negative feelings towards each other, they managed to maintain "human relations" and raise a child together. Now Miranda Kerr is happily married to billionaire Evan Spiegel, who founded Snapchat, and Bloom is recently engaged to Katy Perry. This story proves once again that everything that is not being done is being done for the better!
