Former married couple Jericho Rosales and Kim Jones are proving that ex-partners can become real friends, after they were recently spotted attending the 2024 Cannes Film Festival together.
In an Instagram post by producer-director Atty. Joji Alonso, the ex-couple posed for a picture, sparking rumors that they have a film they’re working on together.
However, in a report by Bandera, Attorney Alonso debunked the rumors that the two were working on a movie, saying they attended the international festival only as friends.
“Walang movie. Magkasama lang sila. Friends naman sila,” she said.

In an interview with Cosmopolitan PH in March of this year, Rosales asserted that he and his ex-wife wanted to be an inspiration for other exes and that they could be friends despite ending their romantic relationship.
“I think the best part was that it was considered a ‘success’ when we felt that people understood and people saw that things like this could happen. And it shouldn’t always be sad. It shouldn’t always be a bad thing,” he said.
“We’ve crossed over; you know, we’ve transformed the relationship into something really special as friends. It’s one of the best things that ever happened to us. And we wanted people to be inspired and show them, ‘Hey, look, it can be done. You can be friends with your ex,” continued the actor.
The pair’s separation was confirmed by their friend and wedding godfather, Ricci Ocampo, in January, saying that Rosales and Jones have actually been separated since 2019.
Meanwhile, married couple director Paul Soriano and wife-actress Toni Gonzaga have also attended the 2024 Cannes, gracing the Directors’ Fortnight section.
