Divorce can be ugly. Ugly for the couple, ugly for the kids, ugly for the new SO's. But it doesn't have to be. Sometimes it can be the one thing that brings everyone together. Just ask Ben Helfond and Nikki DeBartolo.


They dated, they married, they had a son. And while they both loved their son, the marriage didn't work. It could have been just another statistic, but instead Nikki and Ben chose a different path. In fact, they've been so successful with this road they've chosen that they're friends with each other's new spouses, live seven houses away from each other, and even vacation together.


Out of their divorce came a new relationship, a friendship, and a partnership in so many ways. Listen to how they make it work, and check out their book Our Happy Divorce.
