Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt are movie stars and fan favorites. They were the ultimate pair of Hollywood sweethearts during their time together, but the two were married for only a few short years before Pitt started a relationship with Angelina Jolie. Even though it's been 15 years since their divorce, Jen and Brad's relationship remains the talk of the town...and fans can't seem to ever get enough of them.
Maybe it's because they look like a fairytale together. Maybe it's just because they're such good-looking people...and seem to be genuinely nice (for the most part, anyway). Perhaps the Internet has placed its collective hopes and dreams on the backs of these two, believing that if they can make it, anyone can!
For whatever reason, people still love to talk about the two, especially since they've been seen together a few times recently. Here are 20 Facts About Jennifer Aniston And Brad Pitt's Relationship Since Their Divorce.
20 It Took A While For Jennifer To Get Over Their Split
Jennifer Aniston is the ultimate girl next door, so we have no trouble believing it when we see or hear reports about how hard it was for her to get over her split with her then-husband, Brad Pitt.

While tabloids had a heyday with Angelina Jolie's comments about being excited to go to work every day with Pitt (not to mention Pitt's romantic photos with Jolie), Aniston said that, while Brad was insensitive about it, she definitely didn't think that he was intentionally mean about the situation. She didn't think he was trying to hurt her on purpose.
17 They've Both Since Divorced Again
Since splitting up, both Pitt and Aniston have found love but divorced again. Pitt's next divorce, from actress Angelina Jolie, received more attention than Aniston calling it quits with actor Justin Theroux.
