Wright said maintaining a friendship with Penn, whom she officially split from in 2010,  after initially filing for divorce in 2007, is "a gift," as she noted, "We know divorce with children is one of the most difficult things in life." She said she would even consider all four of them working together in the future. "This is a family unit. We've always been a unit, and I hope that we'll always work together, one of us with the other or three of us or four."

Austin Butler and Vanessa Hudgens -

On The Hollywood Reporter Actors Roundtable in January, Austin Butler credited a "friend" with encouraging him to take on the role of Elvis Presley—for which he is now Oscar-nominated. He explained that it was a month before hearing Baz Luhrmann was making the movie, and he was going to look at Christmas lights with a friend and he was singing along to an Elvis Christmas song when the "friend" said "You've got to play Elvis," which at the time he thought was a long-shot. A few weeks later, after hearing Butler sing and play the piano, the friend reiterated that he had to figure out how to get the rights to a script, and soon after that Butler's agent called with news of the film.

After nearly eight years together, Natasha Lyonne and Fred Armisen officially called it quits. “I had been [in Los Angeles] living with Fred and during COVID.

She continued, “It might seem like a mundane reason for a breakup, but during that pandemic, you’ve got to get your laps—I’m like Burt Lancaster in The Swimmer. So, I got myself a house with a pool out in Los Angeles. So that’s the real scandal,” she joked. The actors were first linked in 2014 after they'd attended several pre-Emmy Awards events together, and in 2019 Lyonne told Glamour it was actually Armisen's 'SNL' co-star Maya Rudolph who had introduced the pair.

"We're really great friends and she's kind of taught me so much—so that's family." He even released a new song on Valentine's Day called 'Alone' which sampled Carey's song 'Love Takes Time.' The song clearly states that Cannon regrets losing his relationship with Carey and wishes he could get her back, although he's being respectful of her relationship with boyfriend Bryan Tanaka. So, it might be a bit more complicated than friendship for him!
