The day Jennifer Aniston cried in the middle of an interview when she found out that Brad Pitt was going to have a child with Angelina Jolie
The "Friends" star couldn't hide her sadness when she found out that the actress was pregnant with her ex-partner just two months before her divorce was finalized in 2005.
Jennifer Aniston burst into tears when she discovered that Brad Pitt was expecting a child with another woman. The actress, now 51, filmed the last scene of her Friends, sixteen years ago, and she was ready to start a family with the actor. But things did not go as planned Jen, since her then husband fell in love with Angelia Jolie on the set of his movie Mr. and Mrs. Smith, leaving, in 2005, the actress with a broken heart.
"The world was surprised and I was surprised," confessed the actress when talking about her separation from her with Pitt after four and a half years of marriage. After the couple announced their separation from her to the world and still not finished signing the divorce, Aniston gave an interview to Vanity Fair, that same year, and openly expressed her feelings of loss, sadness, anger and surprise at the breakup. But it was not easy for her to speak publicly of her failed marriage to Pitt, since she was still in full mourning. She at one point collapsed and she couldn't hold back tears when the reporter told her about the rumors that Jolie was two months pregnant.
The actress noted that she would love Pitt for "the rest of his days," and she couldn't help but be moved by Leslie Bennetts when she brought up the possibility that Jolie and her ex-husband were expecting her first child together.
The journalist said that Aniston, who was 36 years old at the time, appeared to have been "stabbed in the heart" and that the Hollywood star "cried in silence for several minutes" and that she was unable to continue with the talk.
As popular Rachel from Friends told Bennetts, she chose to believe the version of her given by her ex-husband that he had never cheated on her while they were married. When she was asked if she believed Brad and Ange were having an affair, she answered, "I choose to believe my husband." And then she added, "At this point I wouldn't be surprised at all, but I'd rather believe you."
Aniston said that Brad had told her that he wanted to solve what he wanted in life, as a single man, and that "it was not about another woman." However, the actor had already been photographed together with Angelina's adopted son Maddox on a beach on April 29, 2005.
“I would be a robot if I said that I did not feel moments of anger, pain and shame. I just don't know what happened. There are many things that I do not understand, many things that I do not know, and I will probably never know, really ", said the actress at that time referring to those first images of her ex with Jolie in Kenya accompanied by Maddox, which showed a relationship that it took time. "I was shocked by the photographs, but hey, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger."
Both Pitt and Jolie always denied having started their relationship while the actor was married to Jen.
Jolie, 45, and Pitt, 56, had been a couple for twelve years and had been married for two years when the American actress filed for divorce in 2016 amid allegations of physical abuse against one of her children during a private flight.
Despite sadness over a love story that didn't have a happy ending, Jennifer admitted that she "felt lucky to have experienced" her marriage to the Oscar winner. The actors were married on July 29, 2000. While the divorce was devastating, the actress said she had no regrets. "I love Brad. I will love him for the rest of my life. He is a fantastic man. We spent seven very intense years together. It was a beautiful and complicated relationship ”.
Aniston married actor Justin Theroux a second time in 2015, after three years of relationship. A year later, in February 2016, they announced their separation. A few months later, Jolie filed for divorce from Pitt, arguing "irreconcilable differences."
Pitt and Aniston have rebuilt their friendship over the years. In January this year, the former Hollywood couple made headlines when they were photographed together backstage at the SAG Awards at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles.
2019 was a great year for both of them at work level. Aniston returned to the small screen with Apple + with a dramatic role on The Morning Show, while Pitt, who spent several years away from Hollywood, returned in a big way with Tarantino.
