It’s officially the end of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt as we know it, after being together for over a decade. The couple met on set of Mr & Mr Smith whilst Brad whilst still married to #Hollywood actress Jennifer Aniston - much like most #celebrity couples who begin their relationship on a movie set. Pitt divorced his then wife Jennifer Aniston and went on to date Angelina for 10 years before finally tying the knot.
Pop culture feud
Without a doubt, one of the most enduring pop culture rivalries of the past few decades has been the Team Aniston vs Team Jolie feud that has stood the test of time.
Perhaps it was to be expected after Brad famously split from America's sweetheart and Friends star Jennifer Aniston to be with his new love and everyone’s fantasy woman Angelina Jolie.
So now the one question that has been playing on everyone’s mind is “What was Jennifer Aniston’s reaction to the divorce?” She was Brad’s wife and was happy with him for years until their sudden divorce in 2005. Fast forward a few years and she is happily married to Hollywood heartthrob, actor Justin Theroux. We may not know Jen personally but something tells us she is doing just fine. It’s Angelina Jolie and the kids we should be worried about.
