The blonde duo were once America’s sweethearts, married for five years, before Pitt had an affair with Jolie on the sets of their film Mr and Mrs Smith.

Jolie and Pitt then posed for an iconic set of “Happy Family” pictures in W Magazine. Pitt was subsequently with Jolie for 12 years before a poisonous break-up in September 2016 wherein Jolie accused him of being a drug addict. The star subsequently admitted himself to rehab programmes.
But it was Pitt's acceptance speech for his part in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood that brought his troubled romantic past back to the forefront once again. “It was a difficult part... a guy who takes his shirt off, gets high and doesn't get on with his wife. It was a big stretch, big," he said, referring to his relationship with Jolie.

In recent years, Pitt and Aniston have grown close again, breaking the internet in 2019 when the Friends star invited her ex-husband to a lavish 50th birthday party.
However, on the way to the event, Aniston was quick to deny any sparks, telling Entertainment Tonight, “It’s hysterical. But what else are they going to talk about?”
Later in the evening, the doe-eyed pair were spotted on the dance floor, and a post of them on the E! News Instagram account was liked by hundreds of thousands of fans and friends, including Aniston’s former Friends co-star Courtney Cox.
