Celebrity splits don’t always have to be messy affairs with lots of mudslinging or drama. Demi Moore and Bruce Willis set a great example for Hollywood parents years ago: They’ve been divorced for 15 years and yet, in recent years, have been seen vacationing together with their three kids! Hollywood exes like Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck may still be working out some of the kinks, but they haven’t lost sight of what truly matters: the children they share. The two put their differences aside to celebrate Christmas together as a fam this year. Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green are also keeping things friendly for the sake of their kids. And there are plenty more divorced celebrity parents who are just like them!
