Hollywood Celebrity Exes Who Worked Together Post Breakup: From Lili Reinhart-Cole Sprouse to Blake Lively-Penn Badgley
When two actors play couples onscreen and share kisses or heartfelt moments, they often fall in love in real life too. And when things start to go South and they unravel that the spark between them has died, or worse, never existed, the two take the difficult decision of breaking up. But when they have to continue to work together and be on the same set, it can get difficult. That's when their true professionalism is tested. Several actors have continued to work together in films and TV shows despite not being able to look eye to eye in real life. Here are 10 Hollywood exes who shared screen space despite parting ways and calling it quits. Cameron Diaz and Justin Timberlake Relationship Timeline: 2003 to 2007 Worked Together On: Bad Teacher Diaz and Timberlake first met at the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards in 2003, and soon rumors of romance between the two started swirling.

In an interview with Elle, Hoult explained how he managed to work with Lawrence despite their separation. He said, "It's like going back to school after the summer holidays.

In 2020, King shared that working with her ex wasn't the easiest thing to do, especially since people would be watching the two onscreen with curiosity about their relationship. "No one's thinking to themselves, 'That was easy,' because it wasn't. I'm sure people will analyze every movement and every detail. And you know what? Let them," she told Cosmo at the time. "But at the end of the day, I was just thrilled to be Elle Evans again."

Hollywood celebrities have proven that it's possible to put professionalism above personal feelings, be it due to contracts or on fans' demand. It's admirable how these stars have shown emotional maturity by staying friendly despite nasty breakups and doing justice to their jobs.

Justin Timberlake at BottleRock Napa Valley marks a major comeback after a tumultuous year
Justin Timberlake closed the final date of his Forget Tomorrow World Tour on a high note during his BottleRock Napa Valley debut. His triumphant headlining set on Saturday, May 24, marked the second day of the Wine Country festival and the end of a year-long global tour in support of his 2024 album 'Everything I Thought It Was.' Over the course of two hours, the Memphis-born pop star offered a dynamic blend of new and classic hits, displaying his trademark energy, impeccable choreography and smooth falsetto vocals. Backed by his band, the Tennessee Kids, and five backup dancers, Timberlake orchestrated a vibrant, high-octane show that captivated the sold-out festival crowd. Songs like 'Mirrors,' 'My Love' and 'Can't Stop the Feeling' fueled the euphoric atmosphere, while an electric brass section and agile dancers added visual flair. The show came after a particularly tumultuous period for Timberlake, including several canceled concerts earlier in the year due to health issues, as well as a DUI arrest last June. But any lingering controversy seemed to dissipate in Napa. Timberlake spoke to the crowd with equal measures of sincerity and whimsy. 'I wish you all a healthy weekend with as little tannins as possible,' he quipped, describing the bitter compounds in wine. He also cheekily wore a T-shirt bearing a vintage pin-up shot of his wife, actress Jessica Biel, that, on first glance, many in the audience assumed depicted his ex, Britney Spears, following her recent headline-grabbing exploits. While his latest album received mixed reviews, the live setting breathed new life into tracks like 'Selfish' and 'Play,' which were well-received by the crowd. Older hits such as 'Cry Me A River' and 'SexyBack' stirred a rush of nostalgia that earned cheers at every turn. Timberlake, who has evolved into a polished and versatile performer over his 30-year career, demonstrated his enduring appeal and growth as an artist. The night was a reminder of his musical and cultural influence, leaving fans excited for what comes next. 'I know I'll see you again someday,' Timberlake assured fans. He capped off an action-packed day at BottleRock, which also featured a high-energy set by up-and-coming pop sensation Benson Boone, a surprisingly solid performance by actor-turned-singer Kate Hudson, and a highly anticipated reunion performance by 4 Non Blondes, who marked their first appearance in 30 years. Their rendition of 'What's Up?' sparked one of the loudest singalongs in BottleRock history. Elsewhere, the Williams Sonoma Culinary Stage was alive with cooking demonstrations from stars like Red Hot Chili Peppers' Anthony Kiedis, Bush frontman Gavin Rossdale and 'Modern Family' star Adam Devine, along with a parade of 'Top Chef' stars including Kristen KishBrooke Williamson and brothers Michael and Bryan Voltaggio.

Jessica Biel Shares Rare Comments About Parenting With Justin Timberlake
Jessica Biel shared rare comments about being a working mom and parenting her two kids with Justin Timberlake in an interview with 'InStyle' published May 19. Biel, who shares sons Silas, 10, and Phineas, 4, with the musician, called her husband one of her "chosen sisters." She also opened up about how she and Timberlake protect their kids from the Biel is getting candid about juggling her responsibilities as a working mom. In InStyle's Now cover interview, the 7th Heaven alum opened up about parenting her two kids with Justin Timberlake as she called the *NSYNC star one of her 'chosen sisters.' Emphasizing the importance of community when raising her sons Silas, 10, and Phineas, 4, Biel got real as she opened up about the 'hard' balancing act between work and motherhood. She told InStyle in the new interview published May 19, 'I don't do it very well all the time.' 'It really takes a village to raise any kid, let alone in a wild business like this where parents are traveling for long times for work,' she said, crediting her 'chosen sisters' including 'best friend' Timberlake for giving her a helping hand through the tough times. 'All of them together have gotten me through my life. I don't know how I would have survived life without them,' the star added. Biel revealed that she and Timberlake try to alternate picking up the slack when the other partner has other things going on—'We're doing the same thing every other parent is doing: 'Okay, tennis. You got the tennis? I'll get the thing,'' she explained—but they're both currently in the middle of a busy career season. 'Sometimes we do a good job; we try to have one of us working full time, only one,' Biel explained. 'It doesn't always happen, because the opportunities arise and the timing is what it is. You just have to take advantage of it.' The star opened up about filming Mattel's Matchbox at the same time as Timberlake's Forget Tomorrow World Tour as an example, explaining that the timing 'literally couldn't have been worse.' Biel revealed that she brought her kids with her to Europe and made it work, thanks to the help of her 'incredible [travel] teachers' as well as their nanny and family members. The Better Sister actress also opened up about how she and Timberlake approach raising their kids out of the spotlight, calling it 'a tricky balance.' 'We do really try hard not to expose them in a way that they're not comfortable with,' she said, sharing an example from last summer when she brought Silas to the US Open tennis tournament. Considering Biel and Timberlake's kids rarely make public appearances, the actress said she sat down with her eldest son to discuss the situation. 'My son was 9 at the time, and he's a huge tennis fan—that's his sport, that's what he plays. We had this opportunity, and we talked about it. We talked about photographers. You know, 'Are you comfortable with that?' He can't make these decisions on his own, but at this point, we can at least discuss what's his opinion around it,' she said. While she admitted that she didn't know 'if it was the right decision,' they ended up having a good time. 'It's scary every time. But it's also their life. And so it's this really tricky, tricky thing to figure out, what's appropriate,' she shared. Read the original article on InStyle

US to begin immediate removal of up to 1,000 trans military members
The Pentagon is removing the 1,000 members of the military who openly identify as trans, and giving those who have yet to openly-identify as transgender 30 days to remove themselves, according to a new directive issued Thursday. The memo is fueled by Tuesday's supreme court decision allowing the Trump administration to enforce a ban on trans military members. The defense department has said it will follow up by going through medical records to identify others who haven't come forward. Officials have said that as of 9 December 2024, there were 4,240 troops diagnosed with gender dysphoria in active duty, national guard and reserve service, representing a tiny fraction — of the 2 million people in service, although they acknowledge the number may be higher. The memo released on Thursday mirrors one sent out in February, but any action was stalled at that point by several lawsuits. When the initial Pentagon directive came out earlier this year, it gave service members 30 days to self-identify. Since then, about 1,000 have done so. In a statement, Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell said the 1,000 troops who already self-identified 'will begin the voluntary separation process' from the military. A view of The Pentagon seen from the air. File picture: Patrick Semansky/AP Rae Timberlake, a spokesperson for Sparta Pride, is one of the 1,000 who chose to self-identify. Timberlake has served in the Navy for 17 years and said that trans service members who don't take the current buyout offer could lose out on benefits that took years of service to build. 'There's no guarantee to access to your pension or severance or an honorable discharge,' Timberlake said. Despite Timberlake's decision to leave, they said many trans troops would continue serving if allowed to. 'This is not voluntary. This is a decision that folks are coming to under duress,' Timberlake said. 'These are 1,000 transgender troops that would be serving if the conditions were not created to force them into making a decision for their own wellbeing, or the wellbeing of their family long-term.' The move is the latest by the Trump administration taking aim at trans members of the military and trans veterans. After Trump took office and issued a flurry of gender-focused executive orders, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) started cracking down on healthcare for LGBTQ+ veterans, starting with the rescinding of VA directive 1341, thereby phasing out treatments for gender dysphoria. Hegseth, right, took to X to say the US government is leaving "wokeness and weakness behind". File picture: Kevin Wolf/AP The expulsion of trans service members comes in tandem with the secretary of defense Pete Hegseth's past views that women are not suited for combat roles, at a time when military recruitment is profoundly struggling and veterans have voiced concerns that potential VA cuts could further hinder young Americans from enlisting. Announcing the removals on Thursday, Hegseth doubled down on his hardline approach. 'We are leaving WOKENESS AND WEAKNESS behind. No more pronouns,' Hegseth wrote in a post on X on Thursday. 'We are done with that sh*t.' Read More Bill Gates pledges his remaining fortune to the Gates Foundation
