When Brad Pitt Talked About His Divorce With Jennifer Aniston
Pitt and Aniston met in 1998 and tied the knot in 2000. The ‘Friends‘ star filed for divorce in 2005 amid rumors that Pitt was having an affair with Angelina Jolie at that time.
In 2011, he opened up about his time with his ex-wife. “I wasn’t living an interesting life myself. I think that my marriage had something to do with it. Trying to pretend the marriage was something that it wasn’t, he said.
The ‘Bullet Train‘ star later went on to say that his marriage with Jolie “satisfied” him. He received a lot of heat for this comment and eventually had to give an explanation.
Jen (Jennifer) is an incredibly giving, loving, and hilarious woman who remains my friend. It is an important relationship I value greatly,” he said. “The point I was trying to make is not that Jen was dull, but that I was becoming dull to myself, and that, I am responsible for.” The two have remained good friends since their divorce.
