If you ask me, one should never be friends with their exes. Sure, there are exceptions, like if you share a child with your ex, but for the most part, there is nothing good that comes out of keeping an old flame burning.
I especially would not suggest staying friends with your ex if he cheated on you with Angelina Jolie, but hey, Hollywood is a whacky and wonderful place!
Brad and Jen were the blonde bombshells of Hollywood. They were the definition of an "IT" couple. They were everything to so many of us, so when they broke up, it was tragic.
At the time, the pair released the following statement: "We would like to announce that after seven years together we have decided to formally separate."
"This decision is the result of much thoughtful consideration. We happily remain committed and caring friends with great love and admiration for one another."
Still drives a knife through my heart to this day!
Now, Jennifer is opening up about her current relationship with the actor while chatting on Howard Stern's radio show.
The reunion was for Sean Penn's community relief nonprofit CORE, but also, it was for fans of this once iconic Hollywood couple.
Maybe it was because the pair had to reenact the scene from the film where Jennifer's character catches Brad's character masturbating in the bathroom while fantasizing about her.
The whole world was smiling along with you, Julia!
"It was absolutely fun. Brad and I are buddies, we're friends," she explained, as per People.
"And we speak, and there's no oddness at all, except for everyone that probably watched it and was wanting there to be, or assumed there to be."
I'm so glad these two are still on good terms, and hey, with Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez getting back together, who knows what's in store for 2021!
