Jennifer Aniston Jokes About Brad Pitt Divorce, Therapy At 'Ellen Show'
Jennifer Aniston made an appearance on the final episode of “The Ellen Show.” She talked about her experience after the end of “Friends,” including her divorce from Brad Pitt, during the engagement.
Geo News reported that the 53-year-old celebrity joked about the matter while discussing it with Ellen DeGeneres. It came after the talk show host asked her about how she coped with the conclusion of her sitcom after a decade.
Aniston quipped that she “got a divorce and went into therapy.” She added that she did a movie titled “The Break-Up,” noting that she “kind of leaned into the end.”
The “Wanderlust” actress continued that she was like, “let’s make this a completely new chapter.” She consequently joked about ending everything, “and then start new.”
Jennifer Aniston went on with the conversation, saying it all “worked out.” She even shared that “it worked great” on her end.
With regard to her divorce from Brad Pitt, she told Ellen DeGeneres not to follow her lead. She quipped, “Now you and Portia [de Rossi], no, no.”
Reports recalled that Aniston is the first-ever guest of Ellen DeGeneres for “The Ellen Show.” The premiere episode aired in September 2003, and it seemingly makes sense why the actress is the last guest of the material, which concluded on May 26.
Meanwhile, “Friends” was where the “Along Came Polly” actress got her big break. It first aired in 1994 and ended nearly ten years later in 2004.
The hit television sitcom follows the lives of six personalities in their 20-somethings. One of these characters is Rachel Green, the role Jennifer Aniston played in the show.
While the title has long ended its course on the small screens, its impact has continued to this day. Its “cult following” continues on, leading to its “reunion” special, which dropped on May 27, 2021, on HBO Max.
As for the “Just Go With It” star’s relationship with Brad Pitt, Brides reported that the two celebrities first met around the same time “Friends” began its course in 1994. But, it was not until about four years later when the pair started dating.
The publication said that Pitt’s and Aniston’s managers set them up for a date as they had just broken up with their respective partners. The actor was with Gwyneth Paltrow, while the actress was with Tate Donovan.
In September 1999, the two prominent celebrities made their red carpet debut. About a month later, they made their engagement known before the public.
Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt tied the knot in 2000. In January 2005, however, the pair announced their split, with the actress filing for divorce two months later.
