Watch: Lily Collins & "Mortal" Costar Address Split

Add Lily Collins and Jamie Campbell Bower to the list of friendly celebrity exes.

Despite recently calling it quits, the duo continue to spend a good amount of time together promoting their film The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones, which makes things totally awk, right?!

Nope, not for these two.

The stars had nothing but nice things to say about each other during the film's Los Angeles premiere last night.

"We're tight," Bower told E! News. "Lily and I are very, very close. Very close. Always have been, always will be."

Meanwhile, Collins—who called her ex beau "awesome"—told us about the insane pandemonium that's happend during the cast's mall tours. "Oh it's been crazy. We had one girl faint for Jamie," she said. "It's been quite mental. We've had babies named after Jace, we've had real rune tattoos and it's people that are buying the tickets. That's like the best interaction that you can have."

The fainting may seem a bit much to some, but Lily gets it, "Of course they're gonna faint over Jamie. He's Jace reincarnated. It's like, why wouldn't you faint?"

The former lovebirds were first romantically linked in July 2012 while filming Mortal Instruments in Toronto.

They were seen holding hands on Friday while leaving a photo call at Franklin Mills Mall in Philadelphia, just days before reportedly pulling the plug on their relationship.

A source stated that the pair remain "very good friends," and have been able to maintain an amicable relationship as they continue to make the promotional rounds (which we now know is true).
