Breakups are never easy. You spend all that time sharing a close and personal bond with a special someone for all of it to end in the way it does. Sometimes, it can even get messy. And when you add the whole world and culture of showbiz, celeb breakups can be on a whole other level. The drama that can come out of a celeb breakup can rival the storylines of teleseryes. And the vicious, uncalled for asides from the gossips? Don’t even get us started.
But just because stars have broken up, that doesn’t mean their split has to be a show played out for the world to see. Behind the tabloids and rumors are couples who just weren’t meant to be and separate ways amicably. While it does hurt to split and go through your feels, these former couples prove that no matter your status in life, a breakup can always be mature.

They kept their relationship private and the two looked like they were going to last. But sadly, they announced their split on June 10. Their breakup though, was extremely mature as the two shared their positive sentiments of the relationship that was. JK even called it the most mature breakup he’s ever had and thanked Maureen for their time together.
Aside from their sweet goodbye posts, they also stated that they will remain good friends, moving forward as they continue to grow. There are still some hurt feelings there, but the two just needed to move on and grow. May all breakups be this mature.
