However, the words Pitt used to describe himself took on new meaning in light of the drama that followed, involving him and his Mr. & Mrs. Smith co-star, Angelina Jolie, offering a poignant, yet twisted perspective on the complexities of relationships in the spotlight.
A Glimpse of Happiness and Hidden Turmoil in Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston’s Marriage
Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt are no strangers to the spotlight and often shared glimpses from their lives with their fans during their relationships. While they maintained a boundary on what to reveal, they didn’t shy away from expressing their affection for each other.
Author and veteran journalist, Leslie Bennetts, had the opportunity to witness the same during her 2004 interview with the Bullet Train star. Reflecting on that moment a year later, she remembered the warmth of the couple’s bond, especially Pitt’s words with Aniston by his side.
“I’m happier than I’ve ever been,” she recalled his words while noting a sardonic tone in Pitt’s voice that hinted at deeper issues, especially given the rumors of his affair with Jolie that followed their split.
The couple announced their split in 2005, clarifying that their decision was not influenced by tabloid speculation. “We would like to explain that our separation is not the result of any of the speculation reported by the tabloid media,” they said in a statement via People.
A few months later, the FRIENDS star filed for divorce, which was finalized in October 2005. Shortly after, Pitt and Jolie’s relationship seemed to blossom, with Pitt taking on a fatherly role with Jolie’s adopted children and welcoming their daughter in May 2006.
Pitt and Jolie remained together for ten years before marrying in 2014. However, their highly publicized marriage did not last long, as they announced their split in 2016, leading to a lengthy divorce process and legal disputes.
Jennifer Aniston Opened Up About the Complex Grief of Divorce
In her interview with Vanity Fair, Jennifer Aniston reflected on the emotional turmoil of dealing with her divorce from Brad Pitt. “There are many stages of grief,” she said while expressing her desire for privacy amid struggles with such an intense chapter in her life.
It’s sad, something coming to an end. It cracks you open, in a way — cracks you open to feeling — I’m a human being, having a human experience in front of the world. I wish it weren’t in front of the world. I try really hard to rise above it.

Despite the public scrutiny, Aniston strived to find meaning in her experience, stating, “I have to believe that there’s some reason I have called this into my life.”
She later revealed in an appearance on The Ellen Show that the separation marked a new chapter in her life, coinciding with the end of FRIENDS, and shared that she began therapy shortly after.
In the years following their split, Aniston and Pitt appeared to have rekindled their friendship, much to fans’ delight, as they reunited for a virtual table reading of Fast Times at Ridgemont High.
