Cupid’s Advice:
Just because you break it off with someone, celebrity couple or not, that doesn’t mean it makes sense to cut all ties with them. Cupid has some relationship advice:
1. Networking: If your partner has been a big part of your career, then it may not make sense to cut ties with them. You can keep things professional civil without being emotionally invested.

2. You’re close friends first: Sometimes it may not be possible to get past the hurt of a break-up, but other times it’s possible to remain friends. There’s no reason to throw away a good friendship if it doesn’t hurt you emotionally, so make sure you know what you’re throwing away before you make a concrete decision.
