Jennifer Aniston’s last words to Angelina Jolie have resurfaced amid the Oscar winner finally signing her divorce papers on Christmas Day – ending her two-year marriage and eight-year legal battle against Brad Pitt.
The 55-year-old Emmy winner’s first and only encounter with Angelina occurred in 2004 on the Warner Bros. Studios lot in Burbank, CA where she was filming her hit NBC sitcom Friends.
‘I pulled over and introduced myself,’ Jennifer recalled in her 2005 Vanity Fair cover story.
‘I said, “Brad is so excited about working with you. I hope you guys have a really good time!”‘
Aniston’s 61-year-old husband began shooting Doug Liman’s spy comedy Mr. & Mrs. Smith in August 2004 and he quickly fell in love with his onscreen leading lady Jolie, despite both of them insisting they did not have sex.
The LA-born, NY-raised blonde ‘chose to believe’ Brad that the end of their four-and-a-half-year marriage was not because of another woman, and they jointly announced their legal separation on January 7, 2005.

Three months later, the 49-year-old Maria actress alerted a photographer when and where she and Pitt would be strolling on Kenya’s Diani Beach with her son Maddox, which then Us Weekly owner Jann Wenner confirmed in his 2022 memoir Like a Rolling Stone.
‘We got the photo, we got the proof,’ Wenner wrote in his book.
‘We had the worldwide scoop, the debut of “Brangelina.” The tipster was Angelina.’

Recalling the moment she saw her estranged husband with his mistress, Jennifer said: ‘The world was shocked, and I was shocked.’
‘I can’t say it was one of the highlights of my year,’ Aniston continued.
‘Who would deal with that and say, “Isn’t that sweet! That looks like fun!”? But s*** happens. You joke and say, “What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.”‘
Six months after the separation, Brad and Angelina played house with a big brood of faux children for a 60-photo, W Magazine cover spread, which he conceptualized and retained the international rights for so he could profit off it.
‘I didn’t know that,’ the Out of My Mind actress admitted at the time.
‘There’s a sensitivity chip that’s missing.’
