The Pitch Perfect actress and American comedian, 33, were the epitome of friendly exes as they larked around on a boat to the event and enjoyed dinner together inside.
The pair crossed paths at the gala because Mickey's production company Kodiak Pictures were sponsoring the gala.
Rebel proudly shared several snaps with her ex on Instagram, in which she congratulated Mickey for his work.
'Super congrats to the Gooch family for sponsoring amfAR tonight with their company Kodiak Pictures,' she wrote.

Mickey reciprocated with similar shots of Rebel, which he captioned: 'Thank you @amfar !....A wonderful event for an amazing charity. Grateful for my friends and family. Blessed.'
The former couple called it quits on their romance in September 2015.
In February 2016, Rebel told the Sydney-based Daily Telegraph that she was happy to remain single so she could concentrate on her acting work.
'A lot of my friends who are married now wish they'd taken the same path — where you really went after your career and your dreams,' she said.

'That's not to say both are mutually exclusive, because you can have it all if you want to.'
'But I obviously chose career over relationships. And I don't regret that decision one bit.'
Mickey starred alongside Rebel - as well as Alison Brie, Leslie Mann and Dakota Johnson - in the 2016 romantic comedy, How To Be Single.
