After 14 years, Brad Pitt told why he broke up with Jennifer Aniston
The actor talked about the life he had with the protagonist of the series 'Friends'.
In January 2005, Hollywood was shaken: actors Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston announced their separation, after 5 years of marriage.
The news was very surprising, since the couple was one of the most admired and solid in the artistic world: counting courtship and marriage, they had been together for 7 years.
Now, more than a decade after the split, Pitt spoke up and shared his reason for breaking up with Aniston.

Pitt and Aniston were together for 7 years, 5 of them married.
They met in 1994, but it was until 1998 when they started dating, after meeting at a dinner.
Two years later, in 2000, they got married. The wedding was in the exclusive sector of Malibu, in California (United States), and, according to the media of the show, it cost 1 million dollars.
The Efe news agency commented that he, together with Italian jewelry Damiani, designed the wedding ring: in white gold and encrusted with diamonds.
A curious fact is that, when they were married one year, the Pitt Anistons sued the jewelry store. They had a non-reproduction agreement for the piece, but, the artists said at the time, the company breached it and were marketing replicas of the ring.
The end
From October to December 2004, the rumors about the crisis that the couple was experiencing were very strong.
On January 8, 2005, the open secret was confirmed: Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston separated.
"We want to announce that, after seven years together, we have decided our formal separation," the couple said in a statement that was released by People magazine.
"For those who follow this kind of thing, we would like to explain that our separation is not the result of any speculation reported by the media. This decision is the result of much reflection," he added.
The hypotheses began to be created and one of the strongest claimed that the separation had been due to Pitt's wishes to be a father, while Aniston was not interested.
Another claimed that their professional paths were very distant and that this would have fractured the relationship.
In March of that year, they officially signed the divorce papers and the spotlight fell on him: it was rumored that he had a relationship with fellow actress Angelina Jolie, with whom he starred in ‘Mr. and Ms. Smith ', and, over time, it was confirmed.
Now, 14 years after his estrangement with Aniston, the protagonist of ‘Troy’, ‘World War Z’, ‘Inglorious Bastards’, among others, told the reason he had for separating.
In a recent interview, Pitt said he was "not living such an interesting life" with Aniston.
“There was too much emphasis on finding interesting characters. I said to myself: 'go out and live an interesting life, the rest will sort itself out. Get out there and have real experiences. ' I just became more aware of how I was living, ”he added.
His relationship with Jolie
Pitt formalized with Jolie and they were together for 11 years (2005-2016). From this relationship, 6 children remained: Maddox, Pax, Zahara (adopted), Shiloh, Vivienne and Knox (biological).
