Fans adored the two together, and when they got married, it was the most luxurious, grand, and dream-come-true wedding. However, their happily ever after was short-lived, as the couple got divorced in 2005. Despite the fact that it's been more than a decade and a second divorce for both the Friends star and the Troy actor, people frequently wonder if they'll ever get back together.

To which Aniston replied, "Well, you know, I got a divorce and went to therapy, and then, oh! I made a movie called The Break-Up. I just kind of leaned into the end. I was just like, You know what guys, let's just put this and let's make this a completely new chapter, just everything, and then start new. Yeah, and I mean, it worked out. It worked out great."
