Nick publicly supported Miley’s song “Malibu” back in 2017, plus, he also shared a video of himself jamming out to “The Climb” a few weeks later — so it’s clear that there’s no bad blood between them. Not to mention that Nick even gushed over his former girlfriend in a recent interview!

“She’s a real singer,” Nick said. “But we knew that ‘cause we grew up with her. We had a song with her back in the day called ‘Before the Storm,’ which is my favorite catalogue song of the Jonas Brothers. And at that point she was 16 and she was singing her a** off. So, it’s no surprise now that people are coming around to [her talent]. But I’m sitting around going, ‘Told you so.’”

Kendall Jenner and Justin Bieber

Justin and Kendall have been close for years, but in April 2015 there was speculation that they had become more than friends after he posted a steamy photo with the reality star. He later admitted to Billboard that they did have a fling, but it wasn’t serious. Now, the two stars are still close! Especially since his wife, Hailey Baldwin, is one of her best friends!

“I just saw her the other day,” David told J-14 exclusively in May 2019.  “It’s like we’re just friends. I don’t know. We’re like really, really close friends. Best friends, I guess. That’s the best way to put it. It hasn’t gotten awkward yet, which is great. I feel like relationships with exes could get weird, but hasn’t happened yet, so we’re both truly happy.”

“Myself and Selena are really good friends with the same group of mates,” Niall explained. “I remember I saw this stupid article a while ago of her walking out of my house or walking into my house or something like that and everyone was like, ‘Oh they’re together.’ There was also about 15 other people in there for a barbecue. It’s just typical absolute useless nonsense.”

Harry Styles and Kendall Jenner

Harry and Kendall were first linked all the way back in 2014, and now — six years later — they’re still close!

The One Direction singer has since moved on with model Maya Henry. However, he recently revealed that he wanted to get back with his ex-girlfriend.

“[Cheryl is] one of the most, if not the most, important people in my life. I’m lucky I have someone who understands what I’m going through. The one thing I was missing as a man in the relationship I had was a level understanding about what she was feeling about stuff. I think I learnt through being away that while I want to protect her, there’s a big part of her that wants to protect me,” he said during an interview with Ant Middleton in his new documentary, Liam Payne: Straight Talking, adding that that the pair might reconcile “if she plays her cards right.”

Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield

Emma and Andrew met on set of The Amazing Spiderman in 2012, and they dated for four years before calling it off in 2015.

Years later, Ellie told Seventeen, “[Niall and I are] still friends. We went on a few dates, and it was really fun. He’s a really, really lovely guy. He’s got the biggest sense of humor, he’s very caring, and I see him as a genuine friend in the industry.”
