Jennifer Aniston’s Last Words to Angelina Jolie Resurface Amid Brad Pitt’s Divorce Settlement

The final words Jennifer Aniston exchanged with Angelina Jolie have resurfaced as Jolie officially signed her divorce papers on Christmas Day. This marks the end of her two-year marriage to Brad Pitt and a grueling eight-year legal battle.

The now-infamous encounter between Aniston and Jolie took place in 2004 on the Warner Bros. Studios lot in Burbank, California. At the time, Aniston was filming NBC’s hit comedy Friends.

“I pulled over and introduced myself,” Aniston recounted in a 2005 Vanity Fair cover story. “I said, ‘Brad is so excited to work with you. I hope you guys have a really good time!’”

The Beginning of “Brangelina”

Later that year, Pitt began filming Mr. & Mrs. Smith with Jolie, directed by Doug Liman. Sparks flew between the co-stars, though both denied any physical relationship during filming. Aniston, then 35, chose to believe her husband when he assured her the end of their marriage wasn’t due to another woman.

Despite their joint statement announcing their separation on January 7, 2005, headlines were soon dominated by photos of Pitt and Jolie walking on a Kenyan beach with Jolie’s son, Maddox. The images, orchestrated by Jolie and captured, cemented the birth of the “Brangelina” phenomenon.

Reflecting on seeing her estranged husband with Jolie, Aniston shared: “The world was shocked, and so was I. I can’t say it was one of my highlights of the year.”

Aniston added with candor: “You joke and say, ‘What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.’ But it’s not like anyone processes that and says, ‘Great! That looks fun!’”

Family Dreams and Heartache

Six months after the split, Pitt and Jolie posed as a faux family in a 60-image W Magazine spread. The concept, reportedly devised by Pitt, blindsided Aniston.

“I didn’t know about it,” Aniston admitted. “There’s a sensitivity chip missing.”

Aniston, who had always wanted children, was devastated when rumors surfaced of Jolie’s pregnancy, which turned out to be true. By October 2005, as Aniston and Pitt finalized their divorce, Jolie was two months pregnant with their daughter, Shiloh, and the couple was in the process of expanding their family.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie: A Complicated Legacy

Pitt and Jolie share six children: Maddox (23), Pax (21), Zahara (19), Shiloh (18), and twins Vivienne and Knox (16). Declared legally single in 2019, the pair have since been embroiled in disputes over child custody and the estate of Château Miraval, their French winery.

Jolie’s lawyer recently revealed that the Oscar-winning actress is “exhausted” after the prolonged legal battle. Meanwhile, Pitt, now 61, is equally weary and believes Jolie delayed proceedings unnecessarily.

Moving On: Love and New Beginnings

Despite losing custody of at least three of his children, Pitt has found solace in his relationship with Ines de Ramon, a 34-year-old jewelry designer. The couple, who have been together for two years, are reportedly planning to marry in 2025.

A source close to Pitt told: “They’re eager to tie the knot, and Brad has agreed to finalize everything so he can move forward with Ines.”

De Ramon, described as private and supportive, has taken precautions to protect their relationship. She has requested her business partners sign NDAs to prevent leaks about their personal life.

Brad’s Hopes for the Future

While Pitt is optimistic about rebuilding his relationship with his children, insiders acknowledge it will be a challenging road ahead.

Another source revealed: “Brad is relieved to finally close this chapter. He’s ready to move forward and build a life with Ines.”

For her part, de Ramon has reportedly embraced Pitt’s inner circle, including his close friend George Clooney.

“Brad is at peace with Ines,” the insider shared. “She feels like the right person, and he’s completely on board with making things official.”

Jennifer’s Life Beyond Brad

As for Aniston, the Emmy-winning actress has built a thriving career. She reportedly earns $2 million per episode for her work on Apple TV+’s The Morning Show, where she stars as Alex Levy and serves as executive producer. The show’s fourth season wrapped filming on December 5.

While her romantic predictions—made after her 2005 divorce—that she’d “marry a great guy and have a baby” by 2010 didn’t materialize, Aniston remains a beloved figure in Hollywood.

Her poignant parting words to Pitt resonate: “I’ll love him for the rest of my life.”
