• Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston's 2005 divorce was a significant event in Hollywood.
• Pitt openly shared his growing attraction to Angelina Jolie, a source reveals.
• The couple, who married in 2000, announced their separation in 2005 after seven years together.

Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston’s divorce in 2005 remains one of Hollywood's most celebrity breakups. While the public often portrayed Aniston as the heartbroken party, new insights reveal that Pitt had openly shared his growing attraction to Angelina Jolie with her. This honesty added complexity to their separation and fueled media speculation about their love triangle.

The couple, who married in 2000, announced their separation in January 2005 after seven years together. According to Courteney Cox, Aniston’s confidante and “Friends” co-star, Pitt admitted to Aniston that he felt a connection to Jolie, whom he met while filming *Mr. & Mrs. Smith* in 2004. Cox told the source “I don’t think he started an affair physically, but I think he was attracted to her. There was a connection, and he was honest about that with Jen… At least he was upfront about it.”

In their joint statement, Pitt and Aniston emphasized that their split resulted from a thoughtful decision, not tabloid speculation, as they had evolved in different directions. Later, Aniston reflected on their relationship in “Mirror”, saying, “There are all these levels of growth – and when you stop growing together, that’s when the problems happen.”

Reports suggest that Pitt’s focus on his work with Jolie may have strained the marriage, especially as Aniston faced her own challenges after “Friends” ended in 2004. Despite the circumstances, Aniston has spoken out against lingering narratives of resentment, telling the source, “It’s time people stop with that petty B.S… It’s just tiresome and old.”

Pitt and Jolie's relationship quickly went public, as their on-screen chemistry in “Mr. & Mrs. Smith” blossomed into a real-life romance. The couple married in 2014 but separated just two years later, marking another dramatic chapter in their intertwined histories.

Though media scrutiny and speculation surrounded their split, Pitt and Aniston’s parting reflected maturity and mutual respect. Both have moved on, with Aniston, in particular, remaining vocal about letting go of past rivalries and focusing on growth. Their story stands as a testament to the complexities of relationships under the unforgiving spotlight of fame.
