‘Gilmore Girls’ Forecasted The Divorce Of Brad Pitt And Jennifer Aniston? Here’s The Truth
The comedy-drama series Gilmore Girls was aired from 2000 to 2007. The TV series always commented on when something happened in pop culture. In one particular episode in 2002, Lorelai and Rory Gilmore might have foreseen the end of Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston’s marriage.
Pitt and Jen grabbed headlines when their relationship became public in September 1999. The lovebirds tied the knot the following year in a grand ceremony at an estimated $1 million at that time.
Theirs was a fairy tale romance that lasted for just some years. The Friends alum discussed the possibility of having a child with the actor and “slowing down” in 2004. However, things took a complete U-turn just a year later.
Jen and Pitt came up with a joint statement in January 2005, declaring their intention to separate. Their decision to split was portrayed to the world as “mutually agreed upon.”
It was, however, evident in the end that it was the Fight Club actor who wished to end the marriage. Just after a few months after declaring their Split, the Troy actor was seen dating his ex-co-star Angelina Jolie.
Jen has always been optimistic even after being tagged as unlucky in love. In an interview given to Vanity Fair immediately after her divorce, she said that when a person tries to stay away from the pain, it leads to even greater pain.
Many years before they parted ways, Amy Sherman Palladino wrote an episode of the series Gilmore Girls. The episode was a part of season 2 and covered the wedding of Sookie St. James and Jackson Belville.
Meanwhile, Christopher Haydon, Lorelai’s on-again, off-again boyfriend and Rory’s dad, told him that his and Sherry’s relationship was likely to fail. Lorelai could not keep the news a secret and asked Rory about who could be breaking up.
Rory thought her mom could have been hinting at somebody famous. She jested, was it “Brad and Jen?” On the other hand, Lorelai was shocked at her daughter’s suggestion before she stated that it was her dad, who was soon going to be single.
The show was full of references to the then pop culture. Many celebrities were mentioned in multiple TV shows over its seven-season run. The reference to Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston was the only occasion when the duo spoke about the possibility of the split of a married couple, though.
This particular exchange between Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston’s marriage occurred during season 2 of the show. Gilmore Girls season 2 was aired in 2001. So, people could debate that the show forecasted their divorce. However, if one looks at it closely, though Rory was correct about the end of this high-profile marriage, her mother was shocked by her suggestion, Showbiz Cheat Sheet reports.
