Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt were a famous couple in Hollywood before the “Troy” actor decided to divorce and marry Angelina Jolie.
On the final episode of the popular talk show The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Jennifer Aniston said she was “at a dead end” after her divorce from Brad Pitt in March 2005. The actress said this when DeGeneres asked her about her future after the end of the sitcom Friends.
“You know, I was divorced and in therapy. I did The Break-Up and I was at the end of my rope. My attitude was, ‘Let’s just end it and start over,'” the actress said.
Brad Pitt and Aniston first met in 1994 through their manager. They didn’t start dating until 1998.
The two stars confirmed their engagement at a concert in November 1999. At that time, the actress wore a ring when she appeared on stage.
The wedding between the two A-list stars took place in July 2000 and caused a media storm. There were 200 guests in attendance, including two close friends, Cameron Diaz and David Spade, according to People.
In 2005, the couple broke up. At that time, Brad Pitt was criticized for having an affair with Angelina Jolie after co-starring in Mr. & Mrs. Smith.
“This was a very deliberate decision. We remain friends and have great admiration for each other. I am leaving the relationship as beautiful as I entered it,” she told Vanity Fair.
According to Insider, Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston remain friends despite their failed second marriages to Angelina Jolie and Justin Theroux, respectively.
In recent years, the two have become close again. Aniston attended Brad Pitt’s 50th birthday party in February 2019. The two were also seen joking and holding hands backstage at the 2020 SAG Awards. Many fans of the two stars still hope that they will “reconcile” after experiencing a failed marriage
