While Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt were once the talk of the town, things took a wild turn following their separation after a decade-long romantic bond. However, it wasn’t only the ending of their bond that took the industry by storm, as things weren’t exactly pretty when the duo’s relationship initially commenced back in the mid-2000s.

Although rumors at the time claimed that the Seven Star got intimate with Jolie during their time in the film Mr. and Mrs. Smith, many felt that the actor had allegedly wronged his former wife, who was also pulled into controversy.

Considering that Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt were still romantically linked together during the latter’s tenure in Mr. & Mrs. Smith, the rumors from the set of Mr. and Mrs. Smith garnered heavy scrutiny at the time. While the Friends star avoided the controversy at the time, given her separation from Pitt in the same year, netizens took pitchforks in their hand, speculating that Aniston had done wrong.

Despite escaping the controversy at the time, Aniston often found herself amidst this discussion online, and in 2015, the actress finally broke her silence, urging fans to move on “and just start celebrating great work” (via ET).

I think that it’s time people stop with that petty BS and just start celebrating great work and stop with the petty kind of silliness. It’s just tiresome and old. It’s like an old leather shoe. Let’s buy a new pair of shiny shoes.

Even though things between Pitt and Jolie, once the most renowned couple in showbiz, ended up taking an ugly turn, things have been surprisingly smooth between Aniston and her ex-husband.

Not long after it, a source told People that the two indeed rekindled their friendship, adding that the Friends star was grateful for Pitt’s addition to her life as a friend.

They are friends and happy for each other. They want nothing but happiness for each other. She is happy to have Brad back in her life as a friend, but that’s it.

On the flip side, given how things have concluded between Pitt and Jolie, a reconciliation seems improbable.
