KEY POINTS

  • Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt are friends
  • Jennifer Aniston felt that she gave so much of herself to Brad Pitt during her marriage
  • Jennifer Aniston learned a lot from her marriage to Brad Pitt 

Jennifer Aniston previously revealed how she tried to make her marriage to Brad Pitt work.

While speaking with Vanity Fair, the “Friends” star revealed that she was a nurturer and she sometimes gave so much of herself to her ex-husband. Unfortunately, this didn’t make their relationship last.

Aniston said that one of the things she learned from her marriage to Pitt is to also take good care of herself and to not give over so much of herself to her partner.

“I love taking care of people, and I definitely put his needs before mine sometimes. It’s seamless; somewhere along the way, you sort of lose yourself. You just don’t know when it happens. It’s such an insidious thing, you don’t really see where it started—and where you ended. There’s no one to blame but yourself,” she said.

“The Morning Show” star went on to say that she’s always been this way even in her previous relationships, and she knows that it’s not healthy. Luckily, Aniston thinks that she’s already broken the pattern, and she has decided to never put herself in the same position ever again.

Aniston also revealed that she comes from an unhappy and broken family, and they were always fighting and arguing. Growing up, the actress became so scared of fights that she refused to speak up. After her divorce, Aniston revealed that she has also learned that it’s important for her to open up.

Meanwhile, Aniston and Pitt are in a much better place at the moment. Years ago, the actress said that she hopes one day she and Pitt would become friends. And now, they finally are.

However, some publications have been claiming that Aniston and Pitt are more than friends. A source told Heat that the former couple’s reunion sent a clear message that they love each other deeply.

“It has taken them both a long time to pluck up the courage to be pictured together like this and now it has happened they can take things to the next level,” the source said.
