Although Pitt appeared as a guest on Friends in 2001, a year into his marriage to Aniston, the two rarely collaborated on screens as in film-related projects.
After the Tree of Life actor’s involvement with Gwyneth Paltrow ended, Brad and the Friends star, 51, broke up in 1998.
The two tied the knot in July 2000 in Malibu, but they announced plans to divorce in early 2005, and he later married Angelina Jolie.
Despite the circumstances, the former couple has maintained a friendship over the years, although it seems to be strengthening lately.
Last year, Pitt made an unexpected appearance at Aniston’s 50th birthday party, where the two had a brilliant conversation.
Aniston had invited him, and the two apparently had a significant conversation, although she cut it short to spend other guests time with her.
In January of this year, the two had another rendezvous at the Screen Actors Guild Awards, where Pitt took the trophy for Best Supporting Actor for his award-winning role in Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon A Time in Hollywood.

His speech included a joke about playing a man who ‘does not come with his wife’, who received a huge round of applause and some cheering from Aniston in the audience.
When Aniston won her own award for her role in the Morning Show, her ex-husband put backstage after her acceptance speech on a monitor, which she later called ‘sweet’ while talking to ExtraTV.
The two shared a sweet moment of congratulations later in the evening as they brought each other backstage.
