We’ve all seen the photos: Shots of Demi Moore and Bruce Willis happily posing together with their kids (and Moore’s second ex-husband Ashton Kutcher) have surfaced everywhere from exotic vacations to Hollywood red carpets. While you may think that’s unusual, Hollywood divorces don’t all have to end in disaster. Here are a few that didn’t.

1. Demi Moore and Bruce Willis

Perhaps the biggest drama-free divorce in Hollywood happened between actors Demi Moore and Bruce Willis. “The key here is that the breakup was very clean and dry,” says Andrew Schrage, relationship expert for Money Crashers.com. “There was no horrible drama or rumors of affairs, and because they had three daughters together, there was a bond that would always keep them together and motivation to continue getting along,” he adds.

According to relationship expert Chris Donaghue of Logo TV’s Bad Sex, healthy emotional relationships survive any sort of physical separation. “Willis has provided a shoulder to lean on for Moore after her failed marriage to Ashton Kutcher. Just because two people cannot make it as a couple, does not mean they cannot make it as friends.”

Millionaire Matchmaker Patti Stanger agrees. According to Stanger, as long as the sexual attraction is gone, there’s no reason exes can’t still hang out. “These two have the perfect relationship,” Stanger says. “The houses next door to each other, they vacation together, they keep it really amicable for the kids and that’s what counts.”
