Hollywood has witnessed numerous high-profile couples who have entered into relationships and eventually separated. One such couple was Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt, whose love life, marriage, and post-divorce experiences have been widely known. Rumors initially suggested that their split was due to Brad’s attraction to Angelina Jolie, but the former couple denied these reports and attributed their separation to their busy schedules.
However, Jennifer’s close friend Courteney Cox, who is best known for her role as Monica Geller in the popular American sitcom Friends, shed some light on Brad’s attraction towards Angelina Jolie. In an interview with Vanity Fair, Courteney stated, “I don’t believe he physically started an affair, but he was attracted to her.”
Continuing the conversation, Courteney Cox described Brad Pitt as an honest person and shared, “There was a connection, and he was honest about it with Jen. Most of the time, people who are attracted to others do not admit it. At least he was honest. It was an attraction that he battled with for a while.”
For those who may not be aware, Jennifer Aniston and Courteney Cox have been best friends since their time working together on Friends. Jennifer and Brad Pitt married in 2000 but decided to separate in 2005. The reason for their separation was explained by an insider who told People magazine, “They gradually lost their individual identities. Despite their luxurious lifestyle and having everything they could want, they were not happy. They lost a sense of who they were as individuals.”
Interestingly, Brad Pitt apparently tried to combat his attraction towards Angelina Jolie while still married to Jennifer. To stay updated on more throwback news and updates, keep following Celebtrends.
