Jennifer Aniston was devastated to see pictures of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie on their getaway weeks after her split to the actor

LOS ANGELES: Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt’s love story does not seem to die  as their fans and admirers are quite  interested and  indulged in the ex-couple’s  past, present and future.

Heartbroken Jennifer Aniston admitted  that she was devastated  to see pictures of Brad Pitt  and  Angelina Jolie on their getaway weeks after their split.

The ‘Friends’ star was reported to have said that   she screamed with rage in the aftermath of her split  as she saw the photos  of her ex with Jolie.

The actress ended her marriage to Brad in 2005, releasing a joint statement that denied swirling rumours about the actor’s relationship with his Mr and Mrs Smith co-star.

In their initial statement, they flayed the stories as tabloid gossip, but just days after  the tragic split, Pitt was seen in various exotic locations with Angelina.

It was quite obvious upon all when Brad and Angelina were pictured frolicking on a beach together at a luxury resort in the same year in Africa, with the actor even seemingly taking on the role of dad to her adopted son Maddox.

Talking about her failed marriage, in a later interview with Vanity Fair, Jen burst into tears – and how Brad had told her he wasn’t leaving her for another woman.

The pair confirmed the end of their married journey  and released a joint statement: “We would like to announce that after seven years together we have decided to formally separate.

“For those who follow these sorts of things, we would like to explain that our separation is not the result of any of the speculation reported by the tabloid media.

This decision is the result of much thoughtful consideration,” the pair said in a joint statement. “We happily remain committed and caring friends with great love and admiration for one another.”

Brad went on to get serious with Angelina and married her in 2014, but split in 2018.

The “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” actor is now single after his divorce from Angelina was granted last year, and he’s now rumoured to be he wooing back his first wife after their public display of affection at the recent SAG Awards.

Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt’s Divorce Intensified with Angelina Jolie’s Scandal 

Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston happen to have been the ‘It’ couple of Hollywood, with their successful careers and fairytale romance. Eventually, their relationship went to the next level, sending fans into a frenzy after they decided to tie the knot in 2000. Soon, Pitt made an appearance on the hit NBC sitcom FRIENDS who hated Aniston’s beloved character, Rachel Green.

Unfortunately, their envious romance and celebrated marriage came to an end in 2005, when Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt mutually released a statement announcing their divorce. Appearing amicable at first, with little to no drama, the duo separated after four and a half years of marriage. But, quickly after the end of Aniston and Pitt’s marriage, they became fodder for tabloids, with gossip columns buzzing about the reasons behind their split.

While the official line was an amicable separation, there appeared whispers of Brad Pitt’s new romance with Angelina Jolie. Soon, the media seized on this narrative, painting Jennifer Aniston as the victim of a high-profile betrayal. The story only gained momentum when Pitt and Jolie were seen together on various occasions. Thereafter, the so-called “love triangle” quickly became the topic of gossip, with Aniston and Jolie being pitted against each other in a baseless catfight.

Jennifer Aniston’s Decision to Move Beyond the Rivalry with Angelina Jolie 

For years, Jennifer Aniston was depicted as the forlorn ex-wife, while Angelina Jolie was cast as the other woman who stole Brad Pitt away from the We’re the Millers star. Although initially, Aniston refused to comment on this, eventually with constant comparison and scrutiny raising water levels, she addressed the alleged rivalry, after crossing paths with the Unbroken director, during awards season.

After being considered the victim in the scandal and subjected to relentless comparisons with Angelina Jolie, Jennifer Aniston finally opened up, after a decade since her divorce in 2005. In a revealing interview with ET, Aniston expressed her frustration with the media’s fixation on the drama of her past relationship. Reflecting on Jolie’s work as a filmmaker, Aniston had nothing but kind words.

I think that’s slowly coming to an end. I really do. I mean, that movie is so beautiful and wonderful and she did such a gorgeous job. I think it’s time people stop with that petty B.S. 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.

Jennifer Aniston’s comments reflected a broader call for the media and people to move past the old narratives and focus on more positive aspects of celebrity culture. The actress’ plea for a shift in focus highlighted her desire to move beyond the tabloid-laden drama, alleged rivalry, and embrace a more respectful and celebratory approach to discussing public figures.
