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.

This is the first time the two have been spotted together. Joshua Jackson and Netflix star Simone Ashley were spotted in New York together for the first time on Sunday. Picture: Reps for Jackson and Ashley didn't immediately return Page Six's request for comment. Jackson was last linked to Oscar-winning actress Lupita Nyong'o after they were spotted passionately kissing on the beach in Mexico in March 2024. But by that October, she shared she was single. The Dawson's Creek star and the Bridgerton actress laughed as they strolled the streets together. Picture: The Canadian actor was married to Jodie Turner-Smith from December 2019 to May 2025. They went through a contentious divorce, including an ongoing custody battle over their 5-year-old daughter, Juno. Jackson made headlines with another one of his exes when he was photographed in NYC last month on the set of the upcoming feature film trilogy, Happy Hours, with his Dawson's Creek co-star, Katie Holmes.

Picture: HEM / BACKGRID As for Ashley, she shared she was in her 'single era' in March after her break-up from Constantin 'Tino' Klein. 'It's about self-growth, and I am looking for someone who is so confident in themselves and is really ready to have an open heart in the same way I do,' she told People. 'And I think that's hard to find.' The British actress said she was 'not in a rush' to find love after getting out of a two-year relationship with the CEO. 'It can be easy to jump into the next thing immediately, which is something that I am choosing not to do,' she said. 'I want to take my time to find the right person for me and to work on myself — to grow, and to focus on my work.'

Verdict on Jenna Ortega in Wednesday's new season as the terrifying Alien: Earth delivers a new phobia
We've sifted through the latest offerings from TV and streaming platforms to find the best shows you should be watching this week. ONE SHOW. TWO VIEWS NEW EPISODES WEDNESDAYS, DISNEY+ So effective was the terrifying, slavering, jaw-snapping, chest-bursting Xenomorph in Ridley Scott's first Alien film that of the many sequels in the 46 years since, even the bad ones are still pretty good (we don't talk about the two Predator-adjacent abominations of the early 2000s). But by last year's not-half-bad Alien: Romulus, they were starting to feel a little repetitive. In the franchise's first foray on to the small screen – set two years before the events of the first film – creator Noah Hawley has come up with something that feels both familiar and fresh and adds depth and nuance to the world in a similar fashion to what Andor did for the Star Wars universe. Yes, there's plenty of acid blood, spiked tails and gory dismemberment after a stricken space freighter oaded with deadly cargo crash-lands in a city, but there are also new creatures to make your skin crawl, androids and other augmented humans that resonate with the current big questions about artificial intelligence and amoral tech giants who will make viewers wonder who the true enemy is. JAMES WIGNEY I have never quite recovered from seeing a blood-soaked alien burst forth from John Hurt's chest in the original 1979 film. The iconic scene introduced cinema goers to the killer creature (while also serving to reinforce my distaste for canteens). While plenty of folk relish jump scares, they have never been my thing and usually just result in nightmares or planting seeds for another phobia (case in point being It fostering a hatred of clowns and Misery making me deeply suspicious of jovial older ladies). This is why – despite my immense respect for Sigourney Weaver's groundbreaking performance as Ripley – I have tended to avoid anything to do with Alien. Until now. Like its predecessors, this prequel is scary stuff. But perhaps not for the same reasons. Set in 2120, in a time when the world is now ruled by corporations and egotistical trillionaires are experimenting with merging humans with machines, the problems created by humankind feel almost as scary as the murderous extraterrestrials. Worse yet, this future feels frighteningly possible. Cue new phobia. SIOBHAN DUCK WEDNESDAY NETFLIX It was always going to be a big ask for Tim Burton to recreate the magic of the gothic black comedy's first season, with its visually stunning take on the ooky, kooky Addamses, the cracked version of Hogwarts that is Nevermore Academy and the rogues gallery of Outcasts that populated its halls. But there's still plenty to like in the first four episodes of the follow-up season – with the second half due to drop next month. Jenna Ortega's title character is back at school trying to hone her psychic powers, much to the consternation of her mother, while also juggling a stalker, another murder mystery and new-found notoriety. Among the fresh faces leading up to a cracking cliffhanger are Steve Buscemi as the new principal, Billie Piper as a mysterious music teacher and Joanne Lumley absolutely revelling in the role of Wednesday's filthy rich, no-nonsense grandmother. AFL WOMEN THURSDAY, 7.15PM, CHANNEL 7, 7MATE, FOX FOOTY, KAYO This year's milestone tenth season will get underway where last year's wrapped up with North Melbourne's dominant showing against Brisbane at Melbourne's Princes Park to secure their first flag. Traditional powerhouse rivals Carlton and Collingwood, both of whom are yet to win the competition, will face off tomorrow night, followed by the West Coast Eagles hosting the Gold Coast Suns. Friday will see Sydney at home against Richmond and on Saturday it's Geelong v North Melbourne, GWS v Essendon and Western Bulldogs v Melbourne. On Sunday there's Brisbane V Hawthorn, St Kilda v Adelaide and then Port Adelaide taking on Fremantle to close out the opening round. PLAYING GRACIE DARLING THURSDAY, PARAMOUNT+ It's a foundational principle for horror that any time a Ouija board appears on screen – let alone when it's being used in a creepy abandoned building in the middle of the night – nothing good is going to happen. And so it proves in this intriguing new Aussie mystery thriller when a bunch of teenagers do just that, leading to the disappearance and presumed death of the title character. Years later Gracie's bestie and fellow seance enthusiast Joanie, who is now working at as a psychologist in a youth detention centre and still haunted by the terrifying experience, gets word that another member of the Darling family has disappeared under similar circumstances. Throw in some disgruntled small-town locals, dead birds and burning effigies and it all adds up to plenty of atmospheric and foreboding fun. PROFESSOR T FRIDAY, 8.30PM, ABC Hot on the heels in the same timeslot of autistic sleuth Patience Evans, comes another unconventional, neurodivergent detective in the form of Ben Miller's Professor Jasper Tempest. Punctual, meticulous, germ-phobic, prone to flights of fancy and living with obsessive-compulsive disorder, he's also a brilliant criminologist at Cambridge University who assists the police – sometimes reluctantly – in their investigations. When the spectre of a serial rapist appears in the uni's hallowed halls, a police officer who knew one of the victims and is a former student of Jasper, enlists his help in making connections that no one else can see to find the perpetrator. THE RAINMAKER SATURDAY, STAN Relative newcomer Milo Callaghan follows in the footsteps of Matt Damon for this pacy and more-ish ten-part adaptation of John Grisham's legal page-turner. He plays aspiring lawyer Rudy Baylor, who gets fired from his job at a prestigious firm on his first day for turning up late and bloody and mouthing off at his cocky boss. Turned down by every other firm in town Rudy signs on to a small, ambulance chasing outfit and proves to be a natural Rainmaker – someone who can drum up money-spinning clients. But in taking on a wrongful death case of a man who died in hospital, he finds himself not just pitted against his former employer (John Slattery putting an evil spin on his Mad Man character), but also his girlfriend, who still works for the firm. SURVIVOR: AUSTRALIA V THE WORLD SUNDAY, 7PM, CHANNEL 10 It's the last hurrah for veteran Survivor host Jonathan La Paglia – but he's going out in style with an action-packed, truncated season featuring the some of the best players from Australia's ten seasons facing off against greats of the game from the US, South Africa, New Zealand, Canada and Finland. With 16 days rather than 50-odd and 14 players instead of 24, moves have to be made fast and Aussies David 'Golden God' Genat and George 'King of Bankstown' Mladenov (sporting some alarming Speedos) waste no time getting in the heads of their fellow players. On the World side, American Parvati 'Black Widow' Shallow is gunning for record number of days played while hulking South African Rob is not afraid to call the shots early. THE ROOKIE MONDAY, 8.55PM, CHANNEL 7 It's literally an all-guns-blazing start for the seventh season of the much loved police procedural, with Nathan Fillion's John Nolan (back on deck after a bullet in the bum) and the gang backing up a SWAT team to take down a heavily armed house while on the hunt for last season's fugitives Jason and Oscar. As is his wont, Nolan's working smarter not harder in the ensuing chase, but his sporadic self-doubt in not being able to take shot that could save a life leaves him wondering whether he's come back to work too soon, especially with the looming threat of a stolen nuke. And of course there's a couple of new rookies – a cocky cowboy from Texas who wants to be the best and a by-the-book greenhorn who wants to help – setting up a fun rivalry between their two handlers. TRENDING – BRAD PITT As Brad Pitt pulls on his blonde wig for a second time to reprise his Oscar-winning performance as stuntman Cliff Booth in the upcoming spin-off to Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, let's travel back to a time before Pitt was one of Tinseltown's top leading men. This 1991 film, made the same year as Pitt's breakout role as a conman with chiselled abs in Thelma and Louise, has the father-of-six starring alongside NYPD Blue star Rick Schroeder. Pitt plays a straight-a student whose well-planned future is thrown into disarray by the return of his troubled younger brother (Schroeder). While the film itself is predictable stuff, it offers a great glimpse at a star in the making.
