Let’s face it, folks: the world lit up when Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston graced the 2020 SAG Awards, walking that iconic red carpet separately. But things got really interesting backstage when these two former flames shared an adorable moment that had everyone buzzing. Not only did they bump into each other, but they were even spotted holding hands! Talk about sparking some serious nostalgia for fans of this Hollywood duo.
Here’s the scoop: before all the drama unfolded behind the scenes, Brad, now 56, took home the trophy for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Supporting Role for Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Meanwhile, Jennifer, who’s 50, snagged the award for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Drama Series for her role in Apple TV+’s The Morning Show. Both of them were on fire, and their paths inevitably crossed backstage in the most heartwarming way.
Jennifer Aniston's Emotional Acceptance Speech
During her time at the podium, Jennifer, the beloved Friends star, opened up about the challenges and triumphs of working on The Morning Show. She said, “Who knew that emotional breakdowns felt that good? It was literally like seven months of therapy covering about 20 years of work, so thank you for watching that.” Jen didn’t forget to give a shoutout to her partner in crime, Reese Witherspoon. She added, “I love you, girl. It took 20 years but we did it, finally!” This heartfelt moment had the audience cheering, and it was clear that Jennifer was feeling the love.

Brad Pitt’s Witty Acceptance Speech
On the other hand, Brad Pitt was his usual charming self when he stepped up to accept his award. The actor quipped, “I gotta add this to my Tinder profile,” showing his sense of humor about his dating history. But he didn’t stop there. Brad went on to express his gratitude and admiration for his fellow nominees, saying, “This means so much, more than I can possibly phantom. I want you to know I watch everything. I watch you all, and the work has been mesmerizing.” His words resonated with the audience, and it was evident that Brad was deeply moved by the recognition.
Jennifer’s Unstoppable Smile
A source close to the event told In Touch that Jennifer was beaming with joy when she entered the press room after seeing her ex-husband. “She was cracking jokes with reporters,” the insider revealed. “Reporters commented that this was the happiest they’ve ever seen her, the best mood they ever witnessed from the typically press-shy, more closed-off Jen.” This glimpse into Jennifer’s demeanor suggests that she was genuinely thrilled to share this moment with Brad, and it’s a reminder of the strong bond they still share.
A Year of Reconnection
This wasn’t the first time Brad and Jennifer crossed paths in the past year. In fact, Brad made an appearance at Jennifer’s 50th birthday bash in February 2019, proving that their friendship was alive and well. He also showed up at her Christmas party later that year, and during an interview at the 2020 Golden Globes, Brad mentioned that he would likely bump into Jennifer at the event, referring to her as a “good friend.” These interactions paint a picture of a duo that has moved past their past and found a place of mutual respect and admiration.
Here’s hoping that this heartwarming reunion is just the beginning of many more moments like this for Brad and Jennifer. Let’s keep our fingers crossed for more of these unforgettable encounters in the future!
