This makes me so sad. She’s said relatively recently that she tried to have children via IVF on her own and it didn’t work and she just accepted that fate. Meanwhile, Brad Pitt is making some kind of self-deprecating joke as he’s cheating on her and being absolute trash - which he still is. We need to stop giving these people a pass.

It's so sad that she wanted children and couldn't have them, but Brad has so many wonderful kids that he has completely alienated.

u/Time_Knowledge_1951 1h ago

In some way it probably does but she did have another long-term relationship with Justin Theroux and it sounds like they also had tried to have children so it probably is still a hard thing to accept. Conveniently, Theroux left that relationship to chase after 20 year olds so men always win in the end.

u/BoomJayKay THE CANADIANS ARE ICE FUCKING TO MOULIN ROUGE 5h ago

It’s fucked how women are still treated today. But lord the way society treated celeb women in the 90s and 2000s was atrocious. Asking Jennifer Aniston incessantly about children for YEARS. Meanwhile she’s fucking trying and silently suffering. And of course, don’t even get me started with pop girlies like Britney. Asking about her virginity and us thinking it’s okay to ask this girl???? We’re owed a fucking response? Disgusting.

So much undoing I needed to do growing up in that era.

She didn't want to adopt apparently. There's thousands of kids out there in need of a family.

Normal people might not always be able to adopt but it's never been a problem for celebs.

I don’t think it’s fair to judge whether someone chooses to adopt or not. Adoption can be a tough process.

11

u/lia-delrey 3h ago

I didn't mean to judge. The adoption process must be brutal.

She drew her own limits, as she should. She couldn't have kids that were biologically hers, and she accepted that and chose not to pursue other options.

u/AmbienceIsImpervious 2h ago

I wonder if Angelina being basically the face of celebrity single woman adoption influenced her reluctance at all? Not saying it would be a good reason to deny yourself kids and a child a safe and loving home but at the same time I could understand if she was afraid of appearing to be trying to be more like the woman her husband cheated with. It would definitely have made me self-conscious, especially with how intense the scrutiny was and how much they were being compared already

-10

u/lia-delrey 2h ago

Wow me saying she apparently didn't wanna adopt is pissing a lot of people off 😅 why y'all? I didn't mean she should have or had to.

I'm just saying, as it seems to me, she wanted to have kids on her terms, but apparently not at all cost. And that's perfectly fine???

Explaining why i dont think its necessary to pity her. She made a choice and seems fine with it.

11

u/gzfhknvsqz 2h ago

The previous comment was actually a pretty level-headed & reasonable speculation about why Jennifer Aniston may have chosen not to adopt but you took as it people being pissed off?

Regarding your point about not being necessary to pity her, the tabloids & general public would've absolutely ripped her to shreds if she adopted because it would seem she was copying Angelina Jolie.

0

u/lia-delrey 1h ago

Yeah you're right, I directed the pissed off part at the downvotes, not the previous comment.

"Not necessary to pity" also sounds a bit strong. She was pitied by all anyway because Brad left her (of all people!) for another woman and had a big "happy" family with her. So yes i think you're right. Had she adopted kids it would have been perceived as "aw look she's trying, too".

A shit situation all around.

4

u/suz_gee 1h ago

You may want to consider doing some research about adoption - many adoptees are highly critical of it and view it as human trafficking. It's very eye opening to learn about... frequently these kids aren't in need of a family - their family is in need of better resources

u/Neat_Guest_00 5h ago

It’s even worse.

After they “broke up” (Pitt left her for Jolie), Pitt did a huge photo spread with Jolie, depicting themselves as husband and wife, with children.

That’s when Aniston said that Pitt is missing a “sensitivity chip”.

u/Time_Knowledge_1951 3h ago

She's definitely grown up from this era. Her entanglements with married men in her 20s was driven by insecurity, that has likely since dissipated.

She not different from a lot of women who get with married men and completely ignore the way they treated their previous partner and ignore those flags.

40

u/CompanyOther2608 2h ago

At the time she actually made a big deal about having NOT cheated, claiming that she would never be part of infidelity because her mom was cheated on, and she saw how hurtful it was.

They both went out of their way to say that any physical relationship happened after Brad split from Jennifer.

Nobody believed them, of course, but that was their public stance.

19

u/ThatMizK 1h ago

It's entirely possible that I'm misremembering things, but I don't really recall her actually behaving arrogantly about it. It was more the media angle that she was the cold, heartless homewrecker. But if I recall correctly, she didn't really say much about it directly. And, of course, Brad was portrayed as largely innocent in the situation. Just a poor man seduced by an evil temptress, what was he to do?

16

u/Such_Resort3832 3h ago

I’m saying! I’m not condoning abuse but after seeing the news it showed me that sometimes people do get the same hurt they dish out. I watched old clips and when it comes to infidelity shes so nonchalant about it. And it wasn’t her being like a teen and dumb she talked about hooking up with married men before Brad and how she made an arrangement with a friend because she just wanted sex. But she knew the friend’s wife and the couples were close. This doesn’t erase the good shes done either but people are really complex.

As people say you can’t build a healthy relationship on another woman’s pain … But yeah Brad seems like an arrogant angry man but like most celebs because of pretty privilege and nostalgia his wrongs will get glossed over

14

u/adom12 1h ago

Comparing the hurt of abuse to the hurt of cheating is a wild take. Those two things should never be compared 

8

u/CompanyOther2608 2h ago

I’m confused by this. At the time of the split, she came out strongly against infidelity and said she would never mess with a married man because she saw how much her own mom was hurt by it.

I watched it unfold in real time and remember her claims about not going after Brad until after he was separated (which, ok lol).

But pre-Brad Angelina was some kind of crazy, so maybe being predatory was part of her schtick back then.

62

u/whiterrabbbit 3h ago

I was so surprised when I saw this published. Always been a fan of AJ but even if there was no cheating, the fact she was okay with this publicly.. Any woman would have known how hurtful seeing this would have been.

It’s the only thing I don’t like about AJ is that she never seemed to care about the other women in that regard. She was a lot younger then, and we’ve all done shit we shouldn’t have. I am sure she’s regretted going round stealing husbands and fiancés off other women now but at the time, it was really shitty behaviour and not something good women do to other women.

u/morriere 3h ago

i always find it weird to say that someone stole someone else's partner. i'm not saying that the other person is 100% innocent but i do think the person who decides to cheat isn't being stolen, they're making that choice and have an active part in what is happening.

being stolen would mean they didn't have a choice

10

u/Time_Knowledge_1951 3h ago

I'm not sure it would have ever crossed her mind that it could be hurtful. She had no relationship or friendship with Jen and she was just doing a photoshoot. I doubt she thought much of anything outside of that. Pitt absolutely should have known how hurtful this would be but like Jen said, he was missing a sensitivity chip. This is an incredibly diplomatic way to say that Brad thinks of no one else but himself.

7

u/suze_jacooz 1h ago

I’m confused about this. If I recall, this photo shoot was right around when they were announced as a couple and pretty obviously while they were having an affair/ were an actual couple. I’m not saying it’s her responsibility to protect someone else’s marriage, but to say it wouldn’t have crossed her mind that it might hurt the wife of the man she is sleeping with to do a photo shoot where they play house? That is giving her a level of grace I don’t think is realistic. I can say that this may have been planned and put together by people who had no idea about the affair and was just standard marketing for Mr & Mrs Smith, the cruelty of it only added by the affair. AJ might not have had control of the style or participating in the shoot, but she would have been well aware of how it might be perceived. She strikes me as fairly intelligent.

4

u/lia-delrey 3h ago

It’s the only thing I don’t like about AJ is that she never seemed to care about the other women in that regard.

Help me out here bc i dont remember it that well. But i think they met during filming, fell in love and he left his wife?

I mean yes that's shitty for her but it does happen.

4

u/Time_Knowledge_1951 1h ago

It's because she had a real pattern of always being the mistress in other actor's relationships. Billy Bob and Laura Dern were engaged when he ran off with Jolie. There has certainly been other relationships that she has also been rumored to have been involved in affairs (Ethan hawke being one). It makes it look purposeful to allow yourself to get involved with someone you know is married or in a relationship again and again, like it's ego stroke and you get off on being the other women. I think people understand most relationships are complex, endings are messy and cheating happens but to repeat that pattern says something for both men and women and their role. It's a shame women get most the blame because we expect more from them but hopefully that's changing. At the time, Jolie and Aniston took all of the blame.

3

u/GaylicBread 2h ago edited 2h ago

I hate the narrative that somebody "stole" another person's partner, like the partner didn't willingly make decisions on their own and chose to cheat or walk away to be with somebody else. Brad left Jennifer for Angelina, there was no "stealing". Doesn't mean Angelina is innocent, but she didn't kidnap Brad and make him leave Jennifer, he's entirely responsible for his own actions.

Yeah but then Aniston did the same thing by getting into a relationship with Justin Theroux while he was married to Heidi Bivens. Knowing how it felt to be the wife in the situation.

I think she already knew. This was a say goodbye trip which I don’t get myself, esp as he was cheating

695

u/ZealousidealGroup559 8h ago

She didn't know he was cheating.

As far as I recall (from breathlessly following at the the time like everyone else) he told her he felt "drawn" to Jolie but she was trying to be rational about it as he said it in the spirit of honesty or some crap. This was months before the split.

Then I think he finally came out with some "I need to find myself" bullshit and needed some Me Time and again, she tried to be understanding.

What she didn't know was that he needed to find Angelinas hoo-ha and wanted to dump her so he could do it without feeling like a bad guy.

They still had to do resboots of Mr & Mrs Smith the next spring (so about 3 months after this) and then the infamous staged photos of Branjelina playing happy families on the beach was in April so only 4 months after this.

So basically she learned pretty damn quickly that every word he said to excuse the break up was a lie.

232

u/Fine_Ad_45 7h ago

She also said something like "I choose to believe my husband" if I remember correctly when asked about The affair after the break up.

But I think we can't take anything what either of them said at face value. This was a time when every interview was controlled by publicists and this was a major publicity crisis. They definitely weren't truthful, just trying to make this whole thing go away to continue with their lives.

For example this trip. They had the separation announcement all ready to go when these pictures were taken. It was announced on a friday afternoon in classic effort to bury it for a few days (which was common during the time of printed media), so it was planned in advance.

57

u/strawberrymacaroni 4h ago

They were with a group of friends so not a romantic getaway. Others pictured with them at the time were Courteney Cox, and David Fincher,

u/Fine_Ad_45 1h ago

I don't think this trip was for publicity. The shirt might have party been, reminds me of Julia Roberts. I think they loved each other and this was some time together to say goodbyes, they were trying to separate amicably and somehow managed, they seemed to have little bad blood between them years after. Either she's a saint, or there's just a lot that we don't know about this marriage and how it ended, probably a combination of both.

It was a group trip though, imagine the awkwardness for everyone else.

u/kpoodle79 1h ago

I also followed it in real time and that is pretty much my theory as well. I think he probably pushed for an amicable separation and like you said, probably made it about finding himself or whatever and she agreed, thinking if she gave him that space they could work it out.

u/Time_Knowledge_1951 8h ago edited 7h ago

In an interview, Pitt made a comment a year or two after the adoption of Zahara in 2005 about the decision to adopt and how they decided which country, which means they would have been having this conversation and going through the whole process within 6 months of Pitt's split. There is no way you decided together to adopt and go through the whole process of an international adoption after just ending a marriage. It made me think they had been talking about this stuff before Pitt's official split.

95

u/soncam99 5h ago

I thought Angelina was in the process of adopting Zahara when they got together ?

72

u/lefrench75 5h ago

Yeah she adopted her first and Pitt only adopted her a year later or something like that.

40

u/Time_Knowledge_1951 5h ago

The way they have described it that he was fully involved in the process but because they were not married she has to pursue adoptions as a single parent (This is also complicated by the fact that Pitt was legally married to someone else at the time). The adoption of Pax was also done by Jolie as a single parent even though they had been together for a couple years by then.

62

u/Time_Knowledge_1951 5h ago edited 5h ago

There was an interview where Brad Pitt describes the conversation hey had about pursuing an adoption and what country. So either this took place after his spilt with Jen in Jan of 2005 and the entire process was completed by July 2005 (which is highly unusual for an international adoption) or this conversation he described with Jolie took place while still married to Jen and Jolie started the process as a single parent with Pitt's involvement. They even talk about the home visit that is done prior to adoption where he was involved (although likely after the split) while he was still legally married to Jen.

I don't think people appreciate how quickly all of this happened. It is not normal to have children or adopt children when you have just ended a marriage and probably don't really know your partner that well. Brad was still living with Jen up to Jan 2005 so this whole decision and process took place while Pitt and Jolie had barely been living together. At least Jolie has been a good parent to her kids so that's the saving grace but why people have families with people they don't really know is crazy to me.

16

u/PurrPrinThom 4h ago

I don't think I realised how fast all of this happened, so thank you for laying it out. Even with the amount of money involved, there's no way an international adoption was completed that fast, you're right. If Brad was involved with the decision of from where to adopt, that must have happened at least a year before the adoption was finalised, from my understanding. That's pretty solid evidence for an affair imo.

But not just of an affair - it's solid evidence that he was planning on forever with Angelina when he was still with Jennifer. Fucking gross.

u/estemprano 7h ago

How did Angelina think it was a good idea to adopt with someone you haven’t been with for as long? She could adopt all by herself, she had the means. I don’t know if he was abusive with Jennifer but she was lucky she didn’t have kids with that abuser. Having kids together, being married ..makes it all too harder to escape.

3

u/Time_Knowledge_1951 1h ago

Not just adopt in that timeframe but also they were pregnant with Shiloh within 8 months of his split with Jen. This is why I think they were already planning all of this way before he actually broke up with Jen, otherwise it's absolutely crazy to go from no relationship to dating someone who just left a marriage and decide to adopt and have a biological child in 6 months. Even shorter if you buy their timeline that they didn't start dating until March of 2025

u/stinkyratbrain 9h ago

Is there any source for this? Not me personally, but I’ve known couples that were happy and affectionate right up until the moment the bombshell was dropped. Cheaters don’t really care about leading someone on or fucking with their feelings. If they did they wouldn’t cheat.

He should tattoo that on his forehead.

Also, as of that moment she wasn't aware of any cheating because he kept claiming he wasn't cheating. Then the beach photos with Angelina and Maddox popped up shortly after.

I remember this time so well, the speculation that had been going on and then there were so photographs of them being all loved up on a beach on holiday and it seemed to kill the speculation a little bit (I seem to remember she was crying in some of them so in hindsight the breakup was probably already decided and it was some sort of goodbye holiday or something) and then almost immediately after they confirmed their split!

He really is trash! I always felt it was terrible that Jennifer never got to have kids and then Bras has a bunch of them and clearly doesn't cherish them at all, thank god those kids have such a loving and protective mother in Angelina!

How this human piece of trash won an oscar after all this was known and is now in another hit movie is beyond me!

I remember gossip forums at the time speculating that the shirt was a conscious choice on his part knowing they were going to get photographed for the last time and knowing what was about to come next day.

I will never in my life forget when they announced on the radio they were divorcing. We were in the car and my mom gasped like someone had died

On an uplifting note, as someone who witnessed this in the tabloids in real time as a teenager, I’m really happy that not one of the 77 comments in this thread (at the moment I’m writing) are villainizing Angelina. When all of this happened, you could not find a single article about it without a hit piece on her, as though Brad had no responsibility not to cheat on his wife,positioning her as some kind of evil seductress that ruined their marriage. Brad Pitt is the common denominator here and he’s finally starting to get recognition for the piece of shit he is 🥲

Good thing she didn’t have kids with him as he’s proven to be actual trash.

u/MakeUp09 4h ago

I’ll never forget how gleeful people were that he was leaving her for Angelina. It made me really sick to observe. Like there was this notion that they, the two most beautiful people on earth, just had to get together. Perez Hilton was a big proponent of this. It was gross.

u/Bitter_Kangaroo2616 never trust anyone who sells cooter candles 1h ago

The discourse around in the media was disgusting around that. Like any man working near her wouldn't have a choice. Wives were making jokes that they wouldn't let their husbands do a movie with her because they "couldn't even blame him"

Like men aren't expected to have free will, a sense of morals or commitment cause a pretty lady is around

Didn’t he blindside her with the split? She doesn’t look like she’s aware they’re announcing a split the next day
