Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston’s romance saga in the 1990s had the fans in chokehold. They had a whirlwind of romance that is nothing short of an iconic rom-com and they got married in 2000. However, they called it quits in 2005 for some vague reason. There seems to be no animosity between the couple, as they share a strong friendship even 15 years later.

However, Brad Pitt may have once hinted at a boring married life with Aniston that did not sit right with the fans. According to him, the spark was gone and he was not living an interesting life.

Did Brad Pitt call his marriage to Jennifer Aniston boring?

Jennifer Anniston and Brad Pitt’s relationship was a culture-defining moment in Hollywood, as fans from all across the globe were living their fairytale dream vicariously through their romance. Aniston and Pitt were introduced by their managers in the mid-90s before they started dating.

In the late 90s, they were both going through breakups: Aniston separated from actor Tate Donovan, whereas Pitt called off the engagement to Gwyneth Paltrow. Their managers played Cupid again and brought them together. They got married in 2000 and had a blissful married life. Brad Pitt even appeared in Jennifer Aniston’s F.R.I.E.N.D.S on a Thanksgiving special episode as a character who despised Rachel.

With F.R.I.E.N.D.S wrapping up in 2004, Aniston was even looking forward to starting a family with Brad Pitt. In a conversation with The Guardian, she said:

“It’s time. It’s time. You know, I think you can work with a baby, I think you can work pregnant, I think you can do it all.”

However, the couple soon filed for divorce in 2005 and Brad Pitt moved on with Angelina Jolie, whereas Jennifer Aniston found love again with actor Justin Theroux. Jennifer Aniston has always sung praises of Brad Pitt whenever she spoke of him in the media. In an interview with Vanity Fair, she said how she does not regret her time with Brad Pitt even a bit:

“I really do hope that someday we can be friends again. I will love [Brad] for the rest of my life. He’s a fantastic man. I don’t regret any of it, and I’m not going to beat myself up about it.”

However, the same cannot be said about Brad Pitt. Although he maintained a cordial relationship with his ex, there was one time he potentially described his marriage as dull and “boring.” In a 2011 interview with Parade, the actor said he “wasn’t living an interesting life” with Anniston. He later clarified his comment by saying,

“The point I was trying to make is not that Jen was dull, but that I was dull to myself—and that I am responsible for.”

Although he seemingly takes the blame on himself, most fans remember that there were cheating rumors going on between Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie on the set of Mr and Mrs Smith. They denied everything at the time, but it does make one wonder if Angelina Jolie was the reason why Brad Pitt found his seemingly perfect marriage “boring.”

Jennifer Aniston is known to keep her personal life notoriously private. However, in 2022, she decided to set the records straight about her divorce from Brad Pitt. There have been multiple rumors about Brad Pitt cheating on her but Aniston never said a single bad word against her ex-husband. In fact, to this day, she seems grateful for the friendship they share. During an interview with Allure magazine (via People), she decided to set the records straight as she felt like she had “nothing to hide anymore.”

“It was a challenging road for me, the baby-making road. All the years and years and years of speculation…It was really hard. It was absolute lies. The narrative that I was just selfish… I just cared about my career. And God forbid a woman is successful and doesn’t have a child. And the reason my husband left me, why we broke up and ended our marriage, was because I wouldn’t give him a kid.”

Jennifer Aniston concluded the interview by saying she has zero regrets and is kind of relieved that she does not have to think about a baby constantly.

Jennifer Aniston’s story is a prime example of how there is more than meets the eye. She has gone through a lot of struggles at the hands of the media. One can only hope she is in a better, more peaceful place now in her life.
