So many celebrity relationships, engagements and marriages go up in flames when they end; however, there are a few celebrities that went out of their way to avoid that fate. We have a list of 7 celebrities who chose to go the classy route when they filed for divorce and, as a result, their divorces went under the radar.

7. Jennifer Garner and Scott Foley

David Duchovny and Tea Leoni – who were married from 1997 to 2014 – went through a very rough period in their marriage around 2008 when he was reportedly caught being unfaithful. He claimed to be a sex addict and went to rehab, and then the couple reconciled; however, in 2011, the couple quietly separated without giving any hint as to whether they were planning to divorce or reconcile again.
