In some divorces, the exes sign on the dotted line and never speak to each other again — but for those who share kids, it's much more complicated. When one parent gets remarried, things can get tricky, but for the following celebrities, everyone involved has been able to stay on friendly terms!
Scroll down to see which stars have become friends with their former spouse's new love.
Ben Affleck, Jennifer Lopez & Jennifer Garner
Ben Affleck's love life has been making headlines for decades.
After meeting on the set of Gigli in 2001, the actor, 49, and costar Jennifer Lopez, 52, began dating and got engaged the following year, but by 2004, they parted ways. Later that year, the Oscar winner began romancing Jennifer Garner, 49, whom he married in 2005. They share three kids together, but in 2015, they separated, finalizing their divorce in 2018.
In 2021, the father-of-three reached back out to Lopez and the two rekindled things, and he popped the question for the second time just recently. The two women have no ill will towards one another, with one source claiming that the 13 Going on 30 star congratulated them personally.
"The two women have respect for each other as mothers and as individuals," the insider told Hollywood Life. "They are on speaking terms and have had numerous talks. They know that they are going to be a part of each other’s families for life through this marriage."
Bruce Willis, Emma Heming & Demi Moore
In 1987, Bruce Willis, 67, and Demi Moore, 59, got hitched and welcomed three daughters before separating in 1998. The Die Hard star went on to marry model Emma Heming, 43, in 2009, and they now share two girls together.
Since the dad-of-five and Moore always kept a good coparenting relationship, his new wife hit it off with the Inside Out author, who even attended their wedding! The blended brood also vacation together, with Moore gushing of their relationship, "We are mothers united, sisters bonded on this crazy adventure of life."

Tarek El Moussa, Heather Rae Young & Christina Haack
Flip or Flop stars Tarek El Moussa, 40, and Christina Haack, 38, shocked fans when they announced their split after seven years of marriage, filing for divorce in 2017.
El Moussa revealed he and Haack "get along" while coparenting their two kids, and his new wife, Heather Rae Young, 34, has also showed kindness towards his ex. In fact, the blonde babes gifted one another a bouquet of flowers for Mother's Day last year!
Eddie Cibrian, Leann Rimes & Brandi Glanville
If you told us 10 years ago that Eddie Cibrian's wife, Leann Rimes, would one day be on good terms with his ex-wife Brandi Glanville, we wouldn't have believed you. The actor, 48, and reality star, 49 — who share two boys — tied the knot in 2001, but after the latter found out that he had an affair with Rimes, 39, they split up, finalizing their divorce in 2010. He then wed the country star the following year.
For years, the women hated each other, with the Bravo alum admitting she once threatened to "murder" the singer. Since then, the trio have sat down and hashed thing out, and at the CMT Music Awards on April 11, Rimes gushed of Glanville, "I love her! We get along very well. She's fun. We are connected through the boys. We have great respect for one another."
