5. Kristen Wiig and Drew Barrymore

Kristen Wiig and Drew Barrymore are really good friends and when Wiig started dating Barrymore’s ex, The Strokes’ drummer Fabrizio Moretti, she was as supportive as ever. It all seems so wacky and incestuous, but that’s kind of how life works,” she told Allure in 2012. “It seems fitting that they would find each other. I was like, ‘Right, of course, that makes perfect sense.’” Even though the relationship made a lot of sense according to Barrymore, Wiig and Moretti broke up in 2013 after a year and a half of dating.

4. Taylor Swift and Gigi Hadid

Taylor Swift and Joe Jonas dated for a few months back in 2008 and their breakup was kind of messy. According to Swift, he broke up with her via phone! She even wrote a couple of scathing songs about the split, “Last Kiss” and “Forever and Always.” Even though girl code dictates that a friend can’t date one of her friend’s exes, Swift approved when her BFF Gigig Hadid began dating Jonas. Like Taylor’s relationship with the pop singer, Hadid’s relationship with Jonas was also short-lived. They broke up several months after they began dating.

Green couldn’t have been happier for her friend and her ex. “I’m so excited for her,” she told People. “I saw her at Coachella and she was just glowing, and now, I mean, I get why. She’s just so happy. That’s what you have to find in life and when you do find it, I think you should run with it and I think that’s what she did.”
