What Has Jennifer Aniston Said Since Their Divorce?

Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston divorced in 2005 and made plenty of headlines with their separation. Pitt's possible affair while filming Mr. & Mrs. Smith was one of them. Another was that Aniston was too focused on her work.

The couple released a statement about their divorce. According to People, the couple said their decision had nothing to do with the rumors that were swirling around them.

"We would like to announce that after seven years together we have decided to formally separate. For those who follow these sorts of things, we would like to explain that our separation is not the result of any of the speculation reported by the tabloid media."

"This decision is the result of much thoughtful consideration. We happily remain committed and caring friends with great love and admiration for one another. We ask in advance for your kindness and sensitivity in the coming months."

According to People, the Along Came Polly star discussed her divorce during an interview with Vanity Fair. Aniston said, "There are many stages of grief. It's sad, something coming to an end. It cracks you open, in a way - cracks you open to a feeling. When you try to avoid the pain, it creates greater pain."

Aniston also didn't seem to appreciate the candid interview Angelina Jolie gave to Vogue in 2006, describing her relationship with Brad Pitt on the set of Mr. & Mrs. Smith. Aniston shared her feelings about Jolie's honest interview with Vogue in 2008.

According to Yahoo!, she said, "There was stuff printed there that was definitely from a time when I was unaware that it was happening. I felt those details were a little inappropriate to discuss. That stuff about how she couldn't wait to get to work every day? That was really uncool."

Aniston has also spoken out about the rumor that one of the reasons for her and Pitt's split was she had chosen work over having a family. According to People, she told Allure in 2022, "I was trying to get pregnant. It was a challenging road for me, the baby-making road."

Discussing the rumors, the star said, "It was absolute lies," when talking about "the narrative that I was just selfish... I just cared about my career."

The two are currently friends. Aniston told Howard Stern on The Howard Stern Show, "Brad and I are buddies, we're friends. And we speak and there's no oddness at all."
