While the world buzzes over the long-anticipated engagement of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, one question seems to keep popping up: How does Jennifer Aniston feel about it?
According to reports, the Friends star has made it clear—she doesn’t care.
Nearly a decade after one of Hollywood's most talked-about breakups, Aniston is reportedly unfazed by the news that her ex-husband, Brad Pitt, is set to marry Angelina Jolie, the woman who was widely speculated to be a factor in the end of their marriage. Sources close to Aniston claim the actress is "completely over it" and more focused on her own happiness and career than any headlines about her former flame.
“Jen has moved on,” one source allegedly said. “She truly wishes Brad well, but it’s not something that keeps her up at night. That chapter closed a long time ago.”
It’s been nearly 17 years since Pitt and Aniston split in 2005, following five years of marriage. At the time, the breakup sent tabloids into a frenzy, particularly because of Pitt’s growing closeness with Jolie, his Mr. & Mrs. Smith co-star. While both Pitt and Jolie denied any wrongdoing, the narrative of a Hollywood love triangle took on a life of its own—and has followed all three actors ever since.
Now, as Pitt and Jolie prepare to tie the knot and celebrate their life with their six children, Aniston is enjoying a thriving career and a life largely out of the public drama. With hits like The Morning Show under her belt, a successful production company, and a growing presence in the wellness and beauty space, Aniston is a prime example of grace under tabloid fire.
Publicly, Aniston has rarely addressed her past with Pitt in recent years. When she has, her comments have leaned toward peace and maturity, often noting that the media has painted a far more dramatic picture than reality.
"I’ve moved on," she told Vogue in a 2008 interview, dismissing the notion of ongoing rivalry. "I’ve made peace with it."
And if recent reports are to be believed, that sentiment remains true today.
While the media may always be eager to link Aniston’s name to Pitt’s every romantic move, it seems she’s more interested in moving forward than looking back.
