Jennifer Aniston's candid admissions about ‘love triangle' divorce from Brad Pitt
Twenty years after two of Hollywood's biggest names went their separate ways, superstar actor Jennifer Aniston has given a rare insight recounting the fallout following her divorce from Brad Pitt. The former Friends golden girl has spoken to Vanity Fair about life after Brad, trading advice with former Pitt partner Gwenyth Paltrow, and her dismay over tabloid media stories that keep her behind closed doors in the Los Angeles hills. In a revealing interview with the same magazine soon after their split, Aniston shocked the world and delivered a racy exposé titled The Unsinkable Jennifer Aniston, as an exclamation mark to end the five-year marriage. Wearing only a men's button-down shirt, with underwear and thigh-high boots, the post-Pitt interview was as memorable for its imagery as its content and signalled a release for Aniston, albeit at a cost. 'I haven't looked at that article in forever,' Aniston says. 'I just remember the experience of doing it, which was kind of jarring. It was also such a vulnerable time. But yeah, that was one for the memoirs. 'Journalism back then felt more like a form of a sport. 'There's obviously some PTSD we all have, which is why these (interviews) scare me. 'How are they going to misinterpret my words or take something out of context? And one line nowadays…,' she adds. They say time heals all wounds, but the bounce back from a time Aniston describes as her 'love triangle' period, as Brad Pitt's blossoming relationship with Angelina Jolie burst into the spotlight, has been a slow burn. Her mantra to ward off the suffocating gaze of paparazzi and online gossip columnists: 'Just pick yourself up by the bootstraps and keep on walking, girl', she tells Vanity Fair. 'It was such juicy reading for people. If they didn't have their soap operas, they had their tabloids.' 'It's a shame that it had to happen, but it happened. And boy did I take it personally.' 'I didn't have a strong enough constitution to not get affected by it. We're human beings, even though some people don't want to believe we are,' she said. Aniston's relationship with Pitt has rekindled over time and fans have been heartened to see the pair chat together on podcasts and meet happily at awards ceremonies. 'I will love (Brad) for the rest of my life. He's a fantastic man. I don't regret any of it, and I'm not going to beat myself up about it,' she says. Friendships with other Hollywood royalty have blossomed during the years, and her relationship with Paltrow holds a special bond. When asked if the pair discuss their respective time spent with Pitt, the answer comes with ease. 'Oh, of course,' Aniston says. 'How can we not? We're girls. 'We're always swapping advice —'What are you doing for this? What are you doing for that? Do you have a new doctor for that?'' Another close friend Sandra Bollock says Aniston's ability to bounce back from adversity over the years has turned her into a wonderful friend. 'I think her superpower is that she could very easily be hard, but she's incredibly open,' Bullock says. 'People want to know about her and understand where she is in life and want her to be happy.'

Jennifer Aniston gossips about Brad Pitt with Gwyneth Paltrow
Jennifer Aniston has revealed that she and Gwyneth Paltrow gossip about their shared former partner Brad Pitt. The Friends star was married to the F1 actor from 2000 until their divorce in 2005 and explained how she and Gwyneth - who was engaged to Brad during the 1990s - can't resist discussing their mutual romantic connection to the Hollywood heartthrob. Asked if she had ever talked about Pitt to the Goop founder, Jennifer told Vanity Fair magazine: "Oh, of course. How can we not? We're girls. "We're always swapping advice - 'What are you doing for this? What are you doing for that? Do you have a new doctor for that?''' Jennifer and Brad's marriage came to a high-profile end in 2005 as Pitt soon moved on with his Mr and Mrs Smith co-star Angelina Jolie and she admits that the period provided the public with some "juicy reading". The 56-year-old star said: "It was such juicy reading for people. If they didn't have their soap operas, they had their tabloids. It's a shame that it had to happen, but it happened. And boy did I take it personally." Aniston explained that she "didn't have a strong enough constitution to not get affected by" the attention and rumours that followed after she and Brad, 61, divorced. The Morning Show star said: "We're human beings, even though some people don't want to believe we are. They think, 'You've signed up for it, so you take it.' But we really didn't sign up for that." Jennifer's latest interview with Vanity Fair comes two decades after she gave her first interview following her split from Pitt with the publication in an article titled The Unsinkable Jennifer Aniston - an experience that she found "jarring". She said: "I haven't looked at that article in forever. "I just remember the experience of doing it - which was kind of jarring. It was also such a vulnerable time. But yeah, that was one for the memoirs." Aniston also recalled how making the 2006 romantic comedy film The Break-Up - in which she appeared alongside Vince Vaughn - proved to be "cathartic" as her relationship ended in real-life. She quipped: "I might've just gone through a separation - that little separation, I'm sure nobody remembers that. "It was kind of cathartic to go right from that. So when they came to me... they were a little nervous about making the offer, 'cause they thought, 'Oh, is that insensitive? Is it inappropriate?' But I actually thought, 'What a great opportunity.'" Jennifer added: "I knew it would actually kind of benefit me emotionally, just as a human being. And also serve the script and the character pretty well."

Jennifer Aniston Reflected On The 'Love Triangle' Era Of Her Life As She Got Candid About The Horrific Aftermath Of Her Divorce From Brad Pitt
Back in 2005, Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt's divorce took the media by storm. Although the pair — who had been married for almost five years — made it clear that they had parted ways on good terms, tabloids across the globe painted Jen as a villain, speculating that she'd 'refused' to have children with Brad and that she'd chosen to remain committed to her career instead. Related: In recent years, Jen has opened up about her fertility struggles, admitting in 2021 that she understandably found the tabloid speculation to be 'really hurtful.' 'I used to take it all very personally — the pregnancy rumors and the whole 'Oh, she chose career over kids' assumption,' she told the Hollywood Reporter. '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.' And sadly, following her split from Brad, Jen was also pitted against Angelina Jolie, whom Brad met in 2004 and started dating in 2005. Now, Jen is looking back on the aftermath of her and Brad's divorce. Admitting that it's been a long time since she read her first interview post-Brad-divorce, which was Vanity Fair's 2005 story 'The Unsinkable Jennifer Aniston,' the Friends star said in a new profile with the outlet, 'I haven't looked at that article in forever. I just remember the experience of doing it — which was kind of jarring. It was also such a vulnerable time. But yeah, that was one for the memoirs.' Related: The author of the piece noted that Jen said she will, in fact, write a memoir one day, when she has 'more' to share. 'Journalism back then felt more like a form of a sport. There's obviously some PTSD we all have, which is why these scare me,' she said, referring to interviews. 'How are they going to misinterpret my words or take something out of context?' Related: Detailing how she got through the so-called 'love triangle' era of her life, Jen said, 'Just pick yourself up by the bootstraps and keep on walking, girl.' 'It was such juicy reading for people. If they didn't have their soap operas, they had their tabloids,' she added. 'It's a shame that it had to happen, but it happened. And boy did I take it personally.' Elsewhere in the interview, Jen hilariously admitted that she and close friend Gwyneth Paltrow — who also dated Brad back in the day — happen to discuss their mutual ex here and there. Related: 'Oh, of course,' Jen said when asked if she and Gwyneth chat about Brad. 'How can we not? We're girls.' However, Jen went on to clarify that it's not just Brad that she and Gwyneth discuss. 'We're always swapping advice — 'What are you doing for this? What are you doing for that? Do you have a new doctor for that?'' she shared. You can find Jen's full Vanity Fair interview right here.
