Jennifer Aniston and Gwyneth Paltrow swap stories about Brad Pitt

During a conversation with Vanity Fair, Jennifer Aniston was asked if she and Gwyneth Paltrow shared stories about Brad Pitt, and she gave a positive response. Jennifer mentioned that they often discuss the F1 actor, with wellness topics being the main focus of their conversations, but Brad also occasionally comes up. Jennifer also mentioned attending his and Gwyneth's engagement party. She was quoted as saying:

"Oh, of course. How can we not? We're girls....We are always swapping advice, 'What are you doing for this? What are you doing for that? Do you have a new doctor for that?'...Ironically, I went to her and Brad’s engagement party."

Gwyneth Paltrow and Brad Pitt met on the set of Seven

Gwyneth Paltrow and Brad Pitt first met on the film set in 1994. The duo was shooting for the film, Seven and started dating shortly after. The couple dated for two years, being called 'a very '90s couple' by Vogue. Brad even popped the question in December 1996, asking Gwyneth to be his forever partner. However, six months later, they called it quits. 

On the other hand, Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt were introduced by their managers and secretly dated before tying the knot in a lavish 2000 ceremony. However, their marital bliss was short-lived, and they split in 2005. The Friends star, Jennifer Aniston, famously opened up about their divorce in a September 2005 Vanity Fair article titled The Unsinkable Jennifer Aniston. In her latest interview with Vanity Fair, almost two decades later, Jennifer reflected on her first article and said:

"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."

Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston are friends now

Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt are friends now. The actress had expressed her desire to mend her bond with Brad as friends back in 2005. The F1 actor had also attended Jennifer's 50th birthday bash in 2019. The following year, they shared a warm backstage embrace at the SAG Awards (that quickly went viral) and played love interests in a virtual table reading of Fast Times at Ridgemont High. In 2021, the actress, in a conversation with SiriusXM's The Howard Stern Show, shared:

"It was absolutely fun. Brad and I are buddies, we're friends. And we speak, and there's no oddness at all, except for everyone who probably watched it and wanted there to be, or assumed there to be. We had fun, and it was for a great cause, [Sean Penn's community relief nonprofit] CORE."
