It’s Hard to Believe What Jennifer Aniston Feels About Brad Pitt After Messy Divorce and an Affair With Angelina Jolie
- Jennifer Aniston reminisced warmly about Brad Pitt during an interview.
- She said his Emmy-nominated cameo in the beloved TV series was 'wonderful.'
- Despite past dramas and their divorce, Aniston and Pitt’s friendship endures.
It’s a story as old as Hollywood: exes who stay friends even after a rocky divorce. Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt are a perfect example of this. Even though Aniston and Pitt went through a public split and the actor later dated Angelina Jolie, they have managed to handle their post-divorce lives with a lot of grace.
So, what does Aniston really think about Pitt now, years after their split? Is there any lingering bitterness, or has time smoothed things over? By looking at their recent interactions and Aniston’s thoughts on their past, it’s clear that their story is more complicated—and maybe more friendly—than we might assume.
Jennifer Aniston Described Brad Pitt as One of the Top Guest Stars in FRIENDS
During a 2021 chat with Access Hollywood (to promote their much-anticipated HBO Max reunion special), Jennifer Aniston and her FRIENDS co-stars, Courteney Cox and Lisa Kudrow, took a nostalgic trip down memory lane.
The trio was asked to name their favorite guest stars from the popular sitcom. Although they fondly remembered stars like Ben Stiller, Reese Witherspoon, and Paul Rudd, it was Aniston’s ex-husband, Brad Pitt, who really stole the spotlight. Aniston gushed, prompting a chorus of agreement from her co-stars:
Mr. Pitt was wonderful.
Kudrow and Cox chimed in with enthusiastic backing, reaffirming that Pitt was indeed “fantastic.” Their episode, The One with the Rumor, from Season 8, was a fan-favorite where Pitt’s character joined forces with Ross to form an ‘I hate Rachel’ club.
Back then, Pitt and Aniston were happily married, and their on-screen chemistry was a hit with fans. Even years after their 2005 split, their mutual admiration is still evident in their ongoing friendly interactions.
Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt Maintain Friendly Relationship Post-Divorce
By 2019, people were buzzing about Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt’s renewed friendship. Pitt showed up at Aniston’s 50th birthday party at the Sunset Tower Hotel in Hollywood, making a big splash.
They even got back together for a live reading of Fast Times at Ridgemont High, where they played Brad Hamilton and Linda Barrett. This was their first time working together on-screen since their divorce.
Pitt’s high-profile relationship with Angelina Jolie began while he was still wed to Jen. Their breakup in 2016 was nothing short of dramatic. Yet, through it all, the former partners have managed to stay on good terms.
Now, Pitt is dating Ines de Ramon, showing off his boyish charm. It’s clear that despite their past, Aniston and Pitt have created a friendly space for each other in their lives.
