"Divorce Selfies" Are the Latest Social Media Trend

While we wish every marriage could end in happily ever after, we don't live in a perfect world. Divorces happen, but these exes are proving that it doesn't have to always have to end in tears and anger. How? By using the trending hashtag #DivorceSelfie.

Yep, that's right. Former spouses are actually posing together in chummy photos with their divorce papers to celebrate the end of their marriages. Some ex-couples are going the sentimental route (including bittersweet captions like "Forever wasn't as long as we had anticipated but it was a beautiful trip we took ... we are still hopeless romantics and I wouldn't change a thing"), while others are opting to infuse humor into their photo ops.

Check out some of our favorite divorce selfies below:

More excited than out our wedding day. #heresyoursign #divorceselfie

Got a #divorce today. Live tweeted about it, too, @hthrhllywd. So modern. Forever wasn't as long as we had anticipated but it was a beautiful trip we took. I think this is what unconditional love looks like. It didn't work for us but we are still hopeless romantics and I wouldn't change a thing. I trained him super well, but sorry ladies, he's already taken. As for me, I'm going cat shopping. #lessonsinlove #divorceselfies #transformationtuesday #divorceselfie #happilydivorced #newnormal #ontheprowl #canwestillbefriends #idontevenlikecats
