The Mulholland Drive actor himself paid tribute to Jennifer with a grandiose black-and-white picture of hers for her own birthday, even addressing her by her nickname, "B."

The two have maintained a close friendship since their split

"Like it or not, we didn't have that dramatic split, and we love each other. I'm sincere when I say that I cherish our friendship.

“Also, she makes me laugh very, very hard. She's a hilarious person. It would be a loss if we weren't in contact, for me personally. And I'd like to think the same for her.”

“I think that when you get good at relationships — and here I am, single — if you love the person the same way you loved them in the relationship, it would behoove you to love them the same way out of the relationship.”
