Facebook/ ex not as dramatic as it sounds

Just for a general totally unscientific show of hands really.
How many people have exes as friends on Facebook, in particular exes that you share children with?
I personally do not, we are no contact but even if we weren't I don't think I would.
Clearly I'm asking because if relationship stuff but it's not a jealousy issue exactly, I don't think it's that common?

So I have 2 exes that I have children with. My DS dad and I split before Facebook existed and although he's tried to friend request I've declined. Mainly because he was a tosser and will never change. DDs Dad has residence of her. It's complicated. I can't have him on my Facebook because we have a very strained relationship and he would cause drama where there is none.

My husband has his ex on Facebook mainly because she'd cause drama's if he unfriended her and she'd notice because she's still tagging him in family pictures like they're still together, even though he's not in the pictures and they've not been together for 6 years. Whole situation is bizarre.

My ex husband of 15 years I have kids with blocked me on FB cos his 42 year old GF was jealous, we never interacted on FB just had pics of kids, had amicable split.
Otherwise I would have been.
