Hollywood royalty Jennifer Aniston and Gwyneth Paltrow have a history intertwined with one of the industry's most enduring love stories: Brad Pitt's relationship with Paltrow before he famously married Aniston. Now, Aniston is confirming what many have long suspected – they do talk about it.

The conversation stemmed from Paltrow's recent discussion on the “Goop” podcast about her past relationship with Pitt, which spanned two years before Pitt’s proposal in 1996. Paltrow reflected on the split, stating that ending the relationship six months later “was the right thing to do.” This prompted speculation about whether Aniston, Pitt's then-fiancée and later wife, had ever engaged with Paltrow about the topic.

During a recent interview with People, Aniston was asked directly if she and Paltrow ever discuss Pitt. Her response was a resounding, “Of course!” She added with a smile, “We’ve been friends for so long. We don’t have to go into all the details, but we’re aware.”

This confirmation comes as a surprise to some, given the historical context and the public fascination with Pitt's romantic past. Aniston and Pitt's marriage, which ended in 2005, was one of the most high-profile celebrity divorces in history, and Paltrow’s involvement in Pitt’s life prior to that relationship has always been a point of interest.

However, Aniston’s nonchalant attitude and confirmation of their open communication suggest a level of maturity and understanding between the two actresses. It highlights a shared experience and a willingness to move beyond the past. It's a testament to their friendship that they can navigate such a complex history with grace and honesty.

The dynamic between Aniston and Paltrow has evolved over the years. While there was undoubtedly a period of awkwardness and public scrutiny, the two appear to have emerged with a genuine respect and friendship for one another. Their ability to discuss a sensitive topic like this publicly demonstrates a level of comfort and trust rarely seen in Hollywood.

Ultimately, Aniston's confirmation reinforces the idea that even amidst the glitz and glamour of Hollywood, genuine friendships can endure, even when complicated by shared history and public perception. It's a refreshing reminder that people can move past the past and build meaningful connections, regardless of what happened before.
