Breaking up is always a difficult thing for couples to face, but once the initial grieving period for an ended relationship is over, it is sometimes possible for exes to remain friendly.

In Hollywood, while some relationships ended on a nasty note, several celebrities have managed to remain friendly with their exes, and maintain either close, or at minimum, civil relationships with the ones they used to be with.

For some of the couples, marriages were dissolved, and being friendly was important for the sake of the children they shared. Some of these couples met on the sets of television shows or movies, and were forced to continue working together after their splits. In some cases, the couples just drifted apart, but still manage to keep things friendly when they run into each other.

Several Hollywood couples have managed to keep their friendships with exes alive over the years. Enstars compiled a list of nine such couples, including Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony, Miranda Kerr and Orlando Bloom, Cameron Diaz and Justin Timberlake and Will Arnett and Amy Poehler. They and several others epitomize the term "friendly exes."
