Jennifer Aniston makes rare comment about ‘love triangle' with Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie
Jennifer Aniston hasn't publicly spoken much about her 'love triangle' with her ex-husband, Brad Pitt, and his now-ex wife, Angelina Jolie, but the Friends star made some rare comments in a Vanity Fair profile published on Tuesday. 'It was … such a vulnerable time,' she told the outlet. 'Journalism back then felt more like a form of a sport.' Aniston, 56, and Pitt, 61, were married from 2000 to 2005. Pitt met Angelina Jolie, 50, on the set of the 2005 movie Mr. and Mrs Smith. The Fight Club actor was with Jolie from 2005 to 2016 when she filed for divorce. Reflecting on the tabloid frenzy around her 'love triangle' with Pitt and Jolie, Aniston told Vanity Fair, 'There's obviously some PTSD we all have, which is why these [interviews] scare me.' The Morning Wars actress added, 'How are they going to misinterpret my words or take something out of context? And one line nowadays …' For years after Pitt left Aniston for Jolie, speculation about Aniston's love life and desire to have kids or not was splashed in headlines. 'It was such juicy reading for people. If they didn't have their soap operas, they had their tabloids,' Aniston told VF. She said, 'It's a shame that it had to happen, but it happened. And boy did I take it personally.' VF noted that Aniston refers to that period of time as 'the love triangle' years. The Along Came Polly actress said that her advice to herself at the time was, 'Just pick yourself up by the bootstraps and keep on walking, girl.' Referring to her constant presence in the tabloids around 2005, Aniston shared, 'I didn't have a strong enough constitution to not get affected by it.' The Horrible Bosses actress added, 'We're human beings, even though some people don't want to believe we are. They think, You signed up for it, so you take it. But we really didn't sign up for that.' Following Pitt, Aniston had high-profile relationships with John Mayer and Vince Vaughn, before her relationship with Justin Theroux. The pair were linked in 2011 and tied the knot in 2015. Aniston and Theroux revealed their split in 2018 and went through 'the most gentle' divorce. Pitt, meanwhile, married Jolie in 2014. The exes have three biological children, Shiloh, 19, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 17, and three adopted children, Maddox, 24, Pax, 21, and Zahara, 20. In 2016, Jolie ended their marriage following an alleged altercation on a plane with their six children present. Pitt was investigated after the alleged incident and wasn't charged by authorities, but he is believed to be estranged from his kids. After their split, Pitt and Jolie spent nearly a decade fighting over the custody of their children and the division of their assets. On December 30, 2024, Jolie's lawyer confirmed that the former couple finally reached a settlement in their divorce, five years after they were declared legally single. Since 2022, Pitt has been romantically linked to Ines de Ramon. In recent years, Aniston has spoken more about her image in the media. In a 2021 interview with the Hollywood Reporter, she said, 'I used to take it all very personally — the pregnancy rumours and the whole 'Oh, she chose career over kids' assumption. It's like, 'You have no clue what's going with me personally, medically, why I can't … can I have kids?' They don't know anything, and it was really hurtful and just nasty.' In November 2022, Aniston got candid about her struggles with in vitro fertilisation and her infertility. In 2023, she said that Adam Sandler sends her flowers every Mother's Day. Jason Bateman, who's Aniston's close friend, told Vanity Fair in Tuesday's story that the actress is like a 'co-mum' to his kids, Francesca, 18, and Maple, 13. The Arrested Development actor said that Aniston is 'the first one to call or text about big dates in the girls' lives.' She's also friends with Gwyneth Paltrow, who dated Pitt from 1994 to 1997. When asked if they talk about their mutual ex, she said, 'Oh, of course. How can we not? We're girls.' Aniston has not written a memoir, but she told VF that she will publish one someday, when she has 'more' to share. Besides Pitt, the star also admitted that she and her Friendsco-stars 'mourned' Matthew Perry long before his death in 2023.

Six TV spinoffs that are even better than the original
Is this latest instalment in the Addams Family universe a spin-off, a reboot or a revival? The Addams canon is such a hodgepodge of on-the-fly lore that it feels pointless to try and make a ruling. But this Netflix supernatural teen drama benefits from a long-awaited lick of Tim Burton's twee-goth magic. The idiosyncratic director executive produces and is at the helm of around half the episodes, and a gorgeous little stop-motion sequence in the second-season premiere nods to the shelved stop-motion Addams film he was once slated to make. More than anything, Wednesday is a showcase for Jenna Ortega and her masterful micro-expressions. Her Wednesday Addams is a bookish, steely loner whose dark sensibilities are at odds with the rah-rah boarding school vibes of supernatural Nevermore Academy – an outcast among outcasts. With a phenomenal cast that includes familiar faces from the '90s films and just-gory-enough violence, it's a fun family watch that the over-13s won't turn their noses up at. Frasier Watching Frasier Crane's early run on Cheers as the pitiable but sweet egghead who served to turn Sam and Diane's legendary flirtation into a love triangle, you would never have picked him as the anchor for one of the most successful TV spinoffs of all time. But the creators of Frasier knew exactly how to turn this character from a narrative lever into a fixture. Loading Crane – whom Kelsey Grammer has been playing since he was in his late 20s – is a pompous, verbose snob, which makes him a great foil for easygoing Boston barflies, but he's also kind at his core and as hard on himself as he can be on those around him, which gives him a path to connect with others despite himself. At the beginning of his eponymous show, his original 1985 sweetness and vulnerability calcified believably into a '90s cynicism, all the better for bickering with his pernickety brother, cranky father and shrewd radio producer.
