Kelly on the other hand said “Like, how long was the relationship?”. Common gave a more detailed explanation: “I mean, I’ve been friends with a lot of exes that I’ve had, and they’ve been long relationships, ‘cause most of them end pretty good. I mean, we go through stuff at the beginning of the breakup, but then once we come to our grounds, it’s like, we’re good people. We’re cool people”.
“Are you friends with any of your exes?”, asked Common, as Kelly bluntly responded: “No!”. “No judgment!” joked Common. “I mean, here’s the thing. I’m not not friends. I only have a couple that I’m like, ‘Hard pass’”, said Clarkson.
“I don’t have many exes, but a couple of them are cool people — nothing wrong with them. If we ran into each other, we’d be totally friendly. But that’s the difference”, she added. Common then asked: “What if they invited you to a party? They said, ‘Man, we’re having a party for some of the family members”.
“Yeah, depending on the ex. I would be like, ‘OK, cool. I’ll show up.’ I just feel like it can get awkward for — it depends on who ended it, or who it is. It’s situational, but mostly no. I feel like that’s awkward. No common ground there!”, explained Kelly.
