Hollywood hunk Brad Pitt had once referred to his then-wife Jennifer Aniston as the moth he was drawn to before he cheated on her with Angelina Jolie.
The actor gave a candid interview to Vanity Fair in 2004 when he and Jen were still married. The Troy star was full of praises for his former wife and compared her to a fireplace who always gives warmth to her dear ones.
However, the duo got divorced just a year later. Interestingly, both Jen and Pitt have declared their split from their respective second spouses in 2016 and 2018 as well. There have been innumerable reports since then suggesting the possibility of reconciliation between the Once Upon A Time in Hollywood star and the Friends alum.
Pitt’s presence at Aniston’s 50th birthday bash added fuel to the fire. Though there were no pictures of them together on that special occasion, they had a public reunion just a year later. Aniston and Pitt met at the 2020 SAG Awards where they both bagged awards for their performances in The Morning Show and Once Upon A Time in Hollywood respectively.
Fans could see them looking happy in the pictures as they greeted and congratulated one another. Speculations were rife once again about the possibility of their reunion.
In 2004, Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt were still married when the latter was interviewed by Vanity Fair. The interview took place just before the release of Mr. & Mrs. Smith, which was an important milestone as they split a year later.
The actor admitted he had “congenital sadness” but was able to control it because of his wonderful wife Jen. He revealed that his wife’s top preference in life was her “home, friends, and family.”
Pitt further said they all flock around Jen like “moths to the flame.” The actor praised his wife comparing her to a “magnet.” The Fight Club star also said his wife can bring everyone together, Pinkvilla reports.
The Hollywood A-lister also appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show later when Winfrey asked the actor about his beautiful quote for his then-wife. Pitt praised Aniston once again and called her “extraordinary” and how he has been able to learn so many things from her.
Meanwhile, Jolie has confessed that it was like love at first sight for her as far as Pitt is concerned. The two came closer while filming together for Mr. & Mrs. Smith.
Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston split in 2005 but the actor did not take Angelina Jolie’s name as the reason for ending their marriage, Mirror.co.uk reports. However, the Maleficent star and the Troy actor were soon snapped hand-in-hand together.
