Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin

This former pairing can be credited as the founding members of the amicable exes club after their “conscious uncoupling” in early 2014. So friendly are the actress turned entrepreneur and her Coldplay frontman ex, that Gwyneth recently revealed her former spouse joined her and her new husband Brad Falchuk on their honeymoon. Speaking on US talk show ‘Live With Kelly And Ryan’, Paltrow described her unusual honeymoon. “We had a big family honeymoon over Christmas,” she said. “My new husband, and his children, my children, my ex-husband, our best family friends. A very modern honeymoon.” [Photo: Getty]

“You can’t be friends with your ex!”

It’s the divorce mantra many former couples swear by, particularly in celebsville where the bitter break-up reigns supreme.

But, while staying on good terms with your ex isn’t necessarily the norm, it is possible.

What’s more some celebrities are leading the way in proving that ‘friend’ is way, way better than foe.

As news emerges that Chris Martin went on honeymoon with his ex wife Gwyneth Paltrow and her new husband, we’re taking a look at some of Hollywood’s most amicable exes, who are living proof that breaking up isn’t always hard to do.
