Jennifer Aniston Cracks THIS Joke About Brad Pitt’s Divorce

Jennifer Aniston was married to Brad Pitt for just under five years before they called it quits in the year 2005.

Jennifer Aniston has appeared on the final episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show and helped the host to say adieu after 19 seasons which aired on May 26. It was truly a full-circle moment as Aniston was DeGeneres’ first guest when the show debuted back in 2003. “Oh, where do 19 years go?” Aniston, who has appeared on the program 20 times, asked. “I don’t understand.”

Aniston knows how emotional these series finales can be, and DeGeneres asked how she dealt with the ending of Friends after its 10-year run. “Well, I got a divorce and went into therapy,” Aniston quipped. “Oh! And then I did a movie called The Break-Up. I just kinda leaned into the end. I just was like, ‘You know what, guys? Let’s make this a completely new chapter. Let’s just end everything and start new.’ It worked great.”

However, Aniston told DeGeneres, who is married to Portia de Rossi, not to follow her lead, noting, “Now you and Portia, no, no.” Friends ended in 2004, and Aniston and her then-husband Brad Pitt divorced in 2005 after nearly five years of marriage. Both remarried, but these relationships also came to an end. Pitt wed Angelina Jolie in 2014, and she filed for divorce in 2016 however, they were declared legally single in 2019.
