Aside from being actors, Brad Pitt and Justin Theroux have one more thing in common — they were married to Jennifer Aniston. But then the three of them have something in common at the moment — they are all single.
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie ended their two-year marriage in 2016, while Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux called it quits in 2017. Brad and Jen were married from 2000-2005.
Despite their failed marriages, Brad Pitt and Justin Theroux maintained a good friendship with Jennifer Aniston. Rumors of reconciliation between Brad and Jen and Justin and the Murder Mystery actress are all over the news these days.
However, many believed that if ever Jennifer Aniston would decide to get back together with an ex-husband, it would be Justin Theroux and not Brad Pitt. After dating for five years, Jen and Justin tied the knot in 2015. Their marriage, unfortunately, ended in Splitsville after sources revealed that the pair spent too much time apart and wanted to pursue different things.
“As they spent more and more time apart, their problems became bigger,” an insider shared. “He’s very focused on himself and his craft. And Jen is not the easygoing girl she wants the public to think she is. She isn’t as happy, and she is far more complicated.”
But when Jennifer Aniston celebrated her 50th birthday in February, Justin gave everyone a hint that there is a chance for him and his ex-wife to rekindle their romance. The 48-year-old actor, film producer, director, and screenwriter took to Instagram to share a black and white snap of Jennifer Aniston with the caption, “Happy birthday to this fierce woman,” he wrote on Instagram. “Fiercely loving. Fiercely kind … and fiercely funny. Love you B.”
The “Love you B” part made a lot of people believe that things have certainly been better for the ex-spouses since their split. And since the reason for the ending of their marriage was not that bad, many thought that there is still a chance for reconciliation there.
As for Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston’s relationship, rekindling their romance seems to be more far-fetched. While the ex-spouses still have a long way to go to rebuild the friendship that they had before, they are doing a lot better than the previous years. This is the main reason why multiple reports claimed that Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston might be getting back together.
But when Brad Pitt was asked about the real score between him and Jennifer Aniston. He may not have directly answered the question, but his response was all we needed to hear to end all the rumors. "Oh my God," Brad replied, laughing. "All right, have a good one,” he added as he got into his car.
