<p>Jennifer Aniston has nothing but praise for her ex-husband, Brad Pitt.</p> <p>The pair were Hollywood super-couple royalty back in the '90s and early noughts,  prior to their 2005 split — which was famously plagued by <a href="https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2005/09/aniston200509" target="_blank" rel="noopener">infidelity rumours</a> involving Brad and Angelina Jolie on the set of Mr and Mrs Smith...</p> <p>But it appears any animosity has been brushed under the rug!</p> <p>In a recent <a href="https://www.accessonline.com/news" target="_blank" rel="noopener">interview</a>, the 52-year-old Friends star, along with her close pals Courteney Cox and Lisa Kudrow, discussed some of her favourite guest stars on the sitcom. After reeling off an array of actors, Jen said to the pair: "Mr Pitt was wonderful, [he was] fantastic."</p> <p>How sweet! In honour of the pair — who show that it <em>is</em> possible to remain friends after a break up — we round up some of their sweetest moments in pictures...</p> <p><img class="size-full wp-image-1263109960" src="https://img.vt.co/2021/05/PMNE49-scaled.jpeg" alt="" width="2560" height="1707" />[[imagecaption|| (Credit: Alamy)]]</p> <h2>1. Early Jen and Brad</h2> <p>In 1998, Jennifer and Brad went on their first date after being set up by their agents. In an interview with <a href="https://www.rollingstone.com/tv/tv-features/interview-jennifer-aniston-171848/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rolling Stone</a>, the Friends actress revealed that they met for the first time back in 1994. "He was just this sweet guy from Missouri, you know?" she said.</p> <p>Too cute!</p> <p><img class="size-full wp-image-1263109995" src="https://img.vt.co/2021/05/2FN64N8-scaled.jpeg" alt="" width="1798" height="2560" />[[imagecaption|| (Credit: Alamy)]]</p> <h2>2. 1999 — Jennifer and Brad make their first public debut on the red carpet...</h2> <p>After a veritable media frenzy over their purported relationship, the couple made their first public debut as a couple on the red carpet during the 1999 Emmy Awards.</p> <p>Just look at that late 90's fashion... The Seven actor wore tiny sunglasses, while Jennifer opted for a sparkly, paisley gown and some strappy sandals.</p> <p><img class="size-full wp-image-1263109998" src="https://img.vt.co/2021/05/D3GCYK.jpeg" alt="" width="1399" height="2414" />[[imagecaption|| (Credit: Alamy)]]</p> <h2>3. 1999 — Jen and Brad announce their engagement</h2> <p>The Hollywood power couple announced their engagement while at a Sting concert.</p> <p>The pair crashed the stage, and Jennifer showed off her diamond engagement ring while they sang along to Sting's song, Fill 'Er Up. The lyrics were pretty spot-on: "We're going to Vegas, we're gonna get wed / So fill her up, son, don't be staring / Yeah, that's a real diamond she be wearing."</p> <p>Now that's how you announce an engagement!</p> <p class="p1">[[twitterwidget|https://twitter.com/ning_spycat/status/1254799154439614464]]</p> <h2>4. 2002 — Budapest bound</h2> <p>The pair tried to keep a low profile after they touched down in Budapest together.</p> <p>Brad is pictured wearing a fluffy hat to combat the cold temperatures as he walked alongside Jennifer in the Hungarian capital. The actor arrived in Budapest for the shooting of his film, Spy Game, which was directed by Tony Scott, and Jen came along for the ride!</p> <p><img class="size-full wp-image-1263110067" src="https://img.vt.co/2021/05/B3NGGR.jpeg" alt="" width="1949" height="1313" />[[imagecaption|| (Credit: Alamy)]]</p> <h2>5. 2000 — The wedding</h2> <p>Earlier that year, the couple tied the knot at a <a href="https://www.brides.com/story/jennifer-aniston-wedding-photos" target="_blank" rel="noopener">seriously glam Malibu wedding</a>, which was kept top secret. Unfortunately, there are barely any images from the ceremony, thanks to the media frenzy that surrounded it.</p> <p>But we do have this very sweet black-and-white couple shot of the pair.</p> <p class="p1">[[twitterwidget|https://twitter.com/PopCulture2000s/status/1336868583796838402]]</p> <h2>6. 2000 —The newlyweds' first public debut</h2> <p>Jennifer and Brad posed for photographs at the 52nd annual Emmy Awards in 2000 — in what was their first outing as a married couple.

He starred in one episode as Ross' former high school friend, Will Colbert, in The One with the Rumour.</p> <p>It made for hilarious viewing given that Will and Ross were once in an "I Hate Rachel" club, where they would spread nasty gossip about her. Also... can we all take a moment for Brad's frosted tips?</p> <p><img class="size-full wp-image-1263110030" src="https://img.vt.co/2021/05/Screen-Shot-2021-05-26-at-15.09.22.png" alt="" width="591" height="457" />[[imagecaption|| (Credit: NBC)]]</p> <h2>8. 2002 — Jen and Brad's matching outfits</h2> <p>At the 2002 Golden Globes, Jennifer and Brad turned up in matching outfits — goodbye Britney and Justin!</p> <p>While Jennifer and her hit sitcom, Friends, were both <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0108778/awards" target="_blank" rel="noopener">nominated</a> for a Golden Globe, neither won that year. Luckily, she and her hubby were wearing a killer outfit, at least.</p> <p><img class="size-full wp-image-1263110064" src="https://img.vt.co/2021/05/fff-scaled.jpeg" alt="" width="1680" height="2560" />[[imagecaption|| (Credit: Alamy)]]</p> <h2>9. 2004 — Jennifer gazes at Brad</h2> <p>Here, Jen can be seen gazing adorably at Brad as they arrive for the premiere of Troy, which was held at the Ziegfeld Theatre in New York City.</p> <p>Around the same time, the actress told the <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/film/2004/feb/22/features.magazine" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Guardian</a> of her relationship and desire to start a family: "It's time. It's time. You know, I think you can work with a baby, I think you can work pregnant, I think you can do all of it. So I'm just truly looking forward to slowing down."</p> <p><img class="size-full wp-image-1263110068" src="https://img.vt.co/2021/05/G6YEFX.jpeg" alt="" width="1312" height="2000" />[[imagecaption|| (Credit: Alamy)]]</p> <h2>10. 2004 — Jennifer celebrates Brad's latest film</h2> <p>Jennifer and Brad fly to Cannes, France, to attend the gala screening of Troy at the Cannes Film Festival.</p> <p>Jen wore a beaded halterneck gown by Versace, while Brad looked polished in a classic, black tuxedo.</p> <p><img class="size-full wp-image-1263110069" src="https://img.vt.co/2021/05/T4NT4C-scaled.jpeg" alt="" width="1668" height="2560" />[[imagecaption|| (Credit: Alamy)]]</p> <h2>11. 2020 — A reunion!</h2> <p>Following their split in 2005 — which was plagued by rumours that Brad had an <a href="https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2005/09/aniston200509" target="_blank" rel="noopener">affair</a> with Angelina Jolie on the set of Mr and Mrs Smith — we saw the couple reunite (publically) last year at The Sag Awards. The pair seemed super amicable as they chatted backstage, with the Once Upon A Time In Hollywood actor even grabbing his ex-wife's hand.</p> <p>Looks like there's no bad blood here, folks!</p> <p class="p1">[[twitterwidget|https://twitter.com/JosphineMamdouh/status/1351561781995581440]]</p> <h5>Feature image credit: Alamy</h5>
