Talk about a sight for sore eyes!
Former friends Courteney Cox and Brad Pitt reunited at a recent event without Jennifer Aniston.
Cox and Pitt, both 60, posed for a photo together Rock4eb The two hung out together at a fundraising event in Malibu, California, on Saturday, Sept. 21, a rare moment for the two, who were close during the “Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood” actor’s marriage to Cox’s best friend.
The pair were photographed arm in arm as they attended the star-studded fundraiser, which aims to find a cure for the rare skin disease epidermolysis bullosa.
Cox wore a striped button-up shirt that she kept unbuttoned for the outing. The “Friends” actress wore minimal makeup, and left her dark hair open and tousled.
Pitt wore beige pants with neon yellow stripes which he paired with a white button-up and aviator-style sunglasses. He was accompanied to the event by his girlfriend of nearly two years, Ines de Ramon.
Watching Friends made it seem like no time had passed, even though it's been nearly 20 years since Pitt and Aniston's separation and divorce.
The trio appeared in an iconic episode called “The One with the Rumor” during Season 8 of “Friends” in 2001. Pitt played Will Colbert, a character who belonged to the “I Hate Rachel (Green)” club in high school with David Schwimmer's Ross Geller.
When Pitt guest-starred on “Friends,” he was still married to Aniston. The couple said “I say it” to each other in Malibu, California, on July 29, 2000, but the Hollywood couple's relationship ended years later in January 2005 when they announced their separation.
“We would like to announce that after seven years together, we have decided to formally separate. For those who follow such things, our separation is not the result of any speculation by the tabloid media,” Pitt and Aniston said in a joint statement at the time.
They added, “This decision has been made after a lot of thought. We will happily remain committed and caring friends, with great love and admiration for each other. We ask in advance for your kindness and sensitivity in the months ahead.”
Aniston filed for divorce in March 2005 and it was finalized by October. Since his split from Angelina Jolie, the exes have become good friends.
Pitt attended her 50th birthday party in 2019. They also reunited at the 2020 Screen Actors Guild Awards ahead of their flirty table-read of “Fast Times at Ridgemont High.”
While some fans have held out hope for a reconciliation between the two, Aniston has made it clear that She's “friends” with Pitt,
“It was just fun. Brad and I are friends, we're buddies,” he told Howard Stern about his “Ridgemont High” reunion.
“And we talk, and there's nothing strange about it, except for everybody who probably saw it and wanted it to happen, or assumed it happened.”
