Jennifer Aniston on her divorce from Brad Pitt: “After we split up we had a long conversation”

We remember the end of one of the most publicized marriages in Hollywood, that of Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt, on the occasion of the Friends actress’s 56th birthday .

Jennifer Aniston turns 56 on February 11, enjoying her single life. Despite the rumors that arose a few weeks ago about a possible romance between her and former US President Barack Obama – something that sources close to the Friends star flatly denied, calling it “absurd” – since her divorce from Justin Theroux in 2018, the actress has not been known to have a partner.

“I think relationships were always difficult for me because I was a bit of a loner . My family and my parents didn’t encourage me to grow up wanting to have a partner,” she confessed in an interview with WSJ magazine, in which she said she had no intention of remarrying, no matter how much the public insists on believing otherwise.

She did walk down the aisle with Brad Pitt more than a quarter of a century ago . Their love story made headlines ever since they started dating in 1998. A year later they posed together for the first time on a red carpet and just two months later they were already engaged.

Despite the intimate nature of Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt’s wedding on July 29, 2000 in Malibu, the $1 million wedding caused a sensation. They became Hollywood’s most admired couple and, although everyone expected a happy ending, they divorced five years later.

“I still feel lucky to have had that marriage. I wouldn’t know what I know today if I hadn’t married Brad.”I love Brad; I really do. I will love him for the rest of my life. He’s a fantastic man. I don’t regret anything and I’m not going to beat myself up about it. We spent seven very intense years together; we taught each other a lot about healing and about having fun. We helped each other through a lot of things and I really value that. It was a beautiful and complicated relationship,” said the eternal Rachel Green in an interview shortly after their breakup. “The world was shocked, and I was shocked. I’d be a robot if I said I didn’t feel moments of anger, of pain, of shame,” she added
