The internet has realised that both Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt are now single, GIFs have been tweeted

Exes Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt are being linked up online now that she’s announced her separation from husband Justin Theroux.

It happened when Brad Pitt separated from wife Angelina Jolie, and now it’s happening again when Jennifer Aniston announced her split from husband Justin Theroux. The exes, who were married for five years between 2000 and 2005, are being linked again.

Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston were married between 2000 and 2005.

Aniston on Friday announced that she had quietly separated from Theroux at the end of last year. “In an effort to reduce any further speculation, we have decided to announce our separation. This decision was mutual and lovingly made at the end of last year. We are two best friends who have decided to part ways as a couple, but look forward to continuing our cherished friendship,” the couple said in a joint statement.

“Normally we would do this privately, but given that the gossip industry cannot resist an opportunity to speculate and invent, we wanted to convey the truth directly. Whatever else is printed about us that is not directly from us, is someone else’s fictional narrative. Above all, we are determined to maintain the deep respect and love that we have for one another,” they said.

Pitt and Jolie abruptly announced their split towards the end of 2016. They met on the sets of their 2005 movie, Mr & Mrs Smith. Their separation was followed by a bitter custody battle over their six children. In the months that followed, it was rumoured that Pitt had reached out to Aniston over text messages, and that she had responded.

Now, Twitter is alive with conspiracies, pipe dreams and wishful thinking. We’ve found some of the best reactions for you to check out.
