KEY POINTS

  • Brad Pitt referenced his divorce from Angelina Jolie at SAG Awards
  • Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston share a deep connection
  • Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston are friends 

Brad Pitt seemingly hit two birds with one stone at the SAG Awards on Sunday night.

While accepting his award for best actor, the “Once Upon A Time In Hollywood” star indirectly referenced his failed marriage to Angelina Jolie.

Pitt said that the most difficult part for him was getting high, taking his shirt off, and not getting on with his wife. He called this a big stretch.

Upon hearing what Pitt said, Jennifer Aniston couldn’t help but show her support for her ex-husband. She clapped and applauded him. While speaking with New Idea, body language expert Dr. Louise Mahler said that these are signs that Aniston and Pitt really care deeply about each other.

“Her body language is saying she's so proud of him. There's incredible warmth in her face,” she said.

Mahler also discussed the rare moment that Pitt and Aniston bumped into each other. Photos of the former couple show the “Friends” star leaning in to kiss Pitt’s cheek while caressing his arm.

After chatting for a few minutes, Aniston was ready to leave but Pitt grabbed her arm in an attempt to keep her close.

“They are showing they really have a deep connection,” Mahler said.

Meanwhile, this isn’t the first time that Aniston and Pitt crossed paths with each other in public. Earlier this month, the two attended the Golden Globes. However, there were photos of them actually chatting.

According to TMZ, Pitt and Aniston are indeed friends but they don’t hang out by themselves. Since they have a lot of common pals in the industry, they always cross paths with each other. However, this doesn’t mean that they are trying to rekindle their romance.

Still, this never stopped the tabloids from claiming that Pitt and Aniston are back together. In fact, NW just published a dubious report suggesting that Pitt and Aniston remarried in Mexico in the New Year.
