It didn't take long for the "Avatar" actress to find true love after her split with Cooper. In 2013, Saldaña married Marco Perego while in "a beautiful place in [her] life" where she "found all [her] answers with him not in him" (via E! Online). A lot of that self-discovery could be attributed to her breakup from Cooper. When the two called it quits, she found herself not in a relationship, and in that time she "lost that fear of being alone."
Saldaña may not stay friends with her exes, but she did have some pretty nice things to say about Cooper before their split in 2012. She told The Hollywood Reporter that "Bradley is a very dedicated and open professional." That matches up with some of the nice things Cooper's other costars have said about him. Jennifer Lawrence, who has appeared in three films with Cooper, has told ABC that the actor is "the best, and I love working with him."
Saldaña does have Lawrence beat out with the number of films she's starred in with Cooper, and the two are gearing up to start filming another one. The third installment in the "Guardians of the Galaxy" franchise probably won't be in theaters until 2023, according to Screen Rant. While they may not be close friends, these two have maintained a healthy and respectful working relationship for several years.
