Jennifer Aniston Discusses Ex-Husband Brad Pitt During Interview With Lisa Kudrow

One of the most iconic celebrity couples of the late 1990s was the Friends actress and blonde heartthrob, whose past relationship and five-year marriage still get brought up from time to time, given they were a notable duo in pop culture.

 

Jennifer reflected on that relationship during a recent interview, where she sat down for a reunion with her sitcom co-star and friend, Lisa Kudrow. For Variety's "Actors on Actors" series, the pair reflected on not only their current career projects, but also some of their favorite memories of working on their legendary show. At one point, Brad came up as they spoke about the famous performers who played guest roles, with Jennifer specifically bringing up his name, looking back on the "funny" memories.

 

The Lolavie founder also expressed how she found it "fascinating" when "real movie stars" like her ex got nervous before appearing on the sitcom set, subtly showing that there was no bad blood, or that at least, she still thinks of him fondly.

Jennifer's Mentioning Of Brad Has Reportedly Created 'Tension' Between Her & Jim

It's been quite a while since Jennifer and Brad called things off, getting divorced in 2025, and she's currently with author and hypnotist Jim Curtis. The couple was first spotted together last year and gradually began stepping out together more often, with her beginning to share pictures of them on social media.

 

The 57-year-old has expressed how happy she is in her new relationship; however, inside sources are reporting that her latest comments on her ex in the Variety interview might have put it in jeopardy, with her bringing up Brad sparking some tension.

 

"It's been a surprising source of tension because Jen sees it as healthy and mature, while Jim thinks some relationships are better left in the past," the source told Closer Online. "He insists he's not jealous, but let's face it, if anyone could make a man jealous, it would be Brad Pitt."

 

At the end of the day, it looks like the entire situation has sparked some frustration and confusion in the author, as he allegedly is wondering why his girlfriend would continue to bring up her ex, when they had a painful split.

 

"[He] knows firsthand how much pain Jen went through because of that relationship, and he struggles to understand why she'd want to keep the door open to any sort of friendship," the source added.
