In 2018, modern families are the norm. Some children have two mums, two dads, we have half-siblings and step-parents. Every family set-up is completely different and one would argue this is especially true when it comes to celebrities.

 

We so often hear the difficult sides of family units trying to adjust to their new set-ups - letting a new person into your family surroundings, is a big change after all - so it's always refreshing to hear of those who manage to make what could be a very difficult situation, into something that is taken into their stride.

 

Actress Kate Beckinsale and comedian Sarah Silverman have always had a humorous relationship, speaking vocally of their support and praise of the other.  

 

When Silverman started dating Beckinsale's ex-boyfriend, fellow actor Michael Sheen, the two women waved away any kind of drama by instead becoming the best of friends often publicly and fondly 'trolling' each other on social media. Apparently, that won't change now that Silverman and Sheen have broken up, in part due to the difficulties that come with long-distance relationships.

 

 

We are all so proud of Michael for having a penis shaped almost exactly like a dog

Their separation was amicable and on good terms and Beckinsale's latest 'trolling' stunt just proved she would still be staying friends with both, despite the parting. 

 

"The great @michaelsheen & I consciously uncoupled over Christmas," she announced on Twitter this week. "I mean, not 'over Christmas' - like that wasn’t the fight that ended it. No fight. We just live in different countries & it got hard. Felt we should just tell y’all so u stop askin , 'How’s Michael/How’s Sarah?'"

 

 

The Underworld star then sent Silverman personalised M&Ms  - but this is more than about the sweets. They hilariously brilliant thing is that they came with a picture of the comedian and Sheen on them. 

 

 

"Been ending every night with a microwaved bowl of personalized m&ms given to me by the very thoughtful and very cruel @katebeckinsale to remind me that I’m alone in this world," she captioned a photo of the M&Ms on Instagram. 

 

Is that not an adult way for public figures to showcase their support of each other, despite the inevitable awkwardness of a break-up?

 

And least this proves that all three won't be putting an end to the social media banter anytime soon; the M&Ms have spoken.
