Even after their divorce, Wiz Khalifa and Amber Rose continue to inspire us with their romantic relationships!

Even though the ex-couple had some animosity at first after splitting in 2014, they are now very good friends. Rose recently told PEOPLE, “Wiz will always be my best friend, forever—we’re best friends.” It’s strange, in that, you know, we almost seem better off divorced.

Her ex-husband concurs. In a Playboy interview, Khalifa shared his reflections on their time spent together.

He claims, “I wasn’t depressed after it ended, but I was sad.” “I’ve never experienced true depression in my life. My son was involved in all of this, which made me sad because my major objective is to raise my son the way I see fit. Being out of control was strange to me because I’m a control freak. I didn’t know how to handle it and didn’t comprehend how it felt. After a year, I’ve grown significantly wiser and more capable of handling it.

The 28-year-old musician claims that there were some unintended benefits to the divorce, despite the pain. “I think that relationship was a big assist to my ending it. I gained the ability to be there when it’s necessary. Although I had been involved in the relationship, it wasn’t the proper fit for me given my age and the circumstances. Sometimes it’s better to walk away, even when it was really difficult.
