The revelation of Brad Pitt's confession to Jennifer Aniston about his feelings for Angelina Jolie during their marriage has sparked renewed interest in their past relationship.
The Hollywood love triangle between the three actors has captivated audiences for years, and this latest revelation has captured the public's attention once again.
Once considered the "It" couple of Hollywood, Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston captivated fans with their successful careers and good looks.
They tied the knot in July 2000, even making joint appearances on popular TV shows like Friends, where Pitt made a memorable cameo.
However, their fairy tale came to an end in January 2005 when they announced their separation after four and a half years of marriage.
Following their split, rumors started circulating about Pitt's involvement with Angelina Jolie, his co-star in the action-comedy film Mr. & Mrs. Smith.
It wasn't long before Pitt and Jolie publicly confirmed their relationship, eventually leading to their marriage in 2014 and subsequent divorce just two years later.
Throughout this period, Jennifer Aniston, often portrayed as the victim in the media, remained relatively silent on the matter.
However, her close friend and Friends co-star, Courteney Cox, later revealed that Aniston was aware of Pitt's attraction to Jolie.
Cox explained in an interview with Vanity Fair that Pitt had been honest with Aniston about his connection with Jolie, even though it didn't initially manifest as a physical affair.
This admission highlighted Pitt's struggle with his attraction and the honesty he displayed towards his then-wife.
"I don’t think he started an affair physically, but I think he was attracted to her. There was a connection, and he was honest about that with Jen. Most of the time, when people are attracted to other people, they don’t tell, Cox revealed.
"At least he was honest about it. It was an attraction that he fought for a period of time," she admitted.
During this time, Aniston faced personal challenges, including the conclusion of the acclaimed TV series Friends in 2004.
Sources revealed that Pitt, immersed in the filming of Mr. & Mrs. Smith, wasn't there to provide the support Aniston needed.
The couple's gradual loss of individuality and happiness, despite their seemingly perfect life, eventually led to their divorce.
However, over a decade after their separation, Aniston addressed the media-created rivalry between herself and Jolie, urging people to focus on celebrating great work and letting go of the petty comparisons.
One of the main reasons why I never liked Brad & Angelina. Horrible people for having an affair. & it’s not her first time breaking up a relationship, one user said.
If he was truly in love with Jennifer he would never have fallen in love with Angelina. I used to be an Brangelina fan, no more looks like karma did its job, the second user commented.
Brad felt a connection with nearly every leading lady he worked with, the third user said.
I still think Brad left Jen because she was struggling to have kids and Brad was always vocal about wanting his own kids, another wrote.
