Jennifer Aniston has heralded and led America’s fashion and pop culture since the early 90s. The actress who kick-started her career with the NBC hit sitcom Friends, mirrored and nurtured fashion and outlook styles in the show’s ten years of airing. Inevitably, anything connected to Jennifer Aniston was bound to have a ripple effect across the entire media. A shocker of such magnitude did happen when the actress separated from her husband of five years, Brad Pitt.

Although it was no secret what had caused the Brad-Aniston split, there were testing rumors surrounding The Morning Show actress to overcome. And in 2022, she addressed the same.

Jennifer Aniston once opened up to the rumors surrounding her split with Brad Pitt

As high-profile news as it was, media and tabloids soon swarmed over the separated couple. Sensational tabloids went around reporting that the separation was allegedly because Aniston chose her career over having kids. The actress was unduly affected by it and finally laid it all out at once. In a 2022 interview with Allure, Jennifer Aniston blasted out at the rumors and proclaimed that she had “anything to hide.” “It was absolute lies.” – she further added to her being “selfish”.

The rumors stemmed from the fact that the couple did not have a kid after five years of marriage. “God forbid a woman is successful and doesn’t have a child,” Aniston shunned the shameful and maligning attempt by tabloids to grab attention. The couple had tried IVF and Aniston tried keeping it a secret, but alas, she had to open up to dismiss the rumors. “I’ve zero regrets,” she summed up.

Despite their separation, Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt maintain amiable relations as of 2023. Often spotted at friendly interjections, they are a testimony of ‘ideal ex-es’.

From exes to friends, a relationship of goodwill

The Hollywood front lines shook when Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt announced their split back in 2005. Furthermore, equally shocking was when Pitt’s rumors of extramarital affairs with Mr. and Mrs. Smith’s co-star, Angelina Jolie, had come forward a while ago. After a long publicized divorce, the duo sought different lives. While Pitt did marry Jolie in 2014, Aniston followed suit a year later, marrying Justin Theroux.

However, once again fate played its part and the Aniston split from Theroux in 2018 and Pitt from Jolie a year later. Following it, the exes have been spotted on numerous occasions, laughing, chatting, and being friendly. From the Screen Actors Guild Awards in 2020 to a virtual table read of Fast Times at Ridgemont High, the former couple kept in touch.
