The warm smile, the tender hug, the clasped hands that lingered just a moment longer than necessary… Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston’s loving display of affection at the Screen Actors Guild Awards last week said it all – Hollywood’s former golden couple have finally made their way back to each other.
Almost 15 years to the day after Brad walked out on their five-year marriage and into the arms of his Mr and Mrs Smith co-star Angelina Jolie, the internet went into meltdown on January 20 at the sight of the reunited couple’s backstage embrace.
Moments before the pictures were taken, Jennifer had joyfully accepted a gong for her role in The Morning Show and Brad – who had earlier scooped his own award for his role in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood – had stopped dead in his tracks, ignoring everything and everyone around him, to watch his former wife make her speech.
The Oscar winner shed a tear and gushed, “Oh wow” as he watched Jennifer make her thank yous and as the Friends alum made her exit off stage, it was Brad who was standing there, waiting to be the first person to celebrate with her.
The moment couldn’t have been more intimate, with Jennifer, 50, tenderly placing her hand on her ex-husband’s chest and whispering in his ear before Brad, 56, clutched her arm in a bid to pull her back to him as she was ushered away.
And while the couple were temporarily separated in order to give press interviews about their respective wins, an insider says they continued to flaunt their reunion at the after-party.
“Brad and Jen made no secret of their love and admiration for one another,” spills the insider. “Brad was acting like a loved-up puppy, following Jen around wherever she went.
