Brad And Jen Are No More...

[Guest NaturalBornThriller4:20]

LOS ANGELES - Hollywood glamour couple Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston (news) have split, his publicist confirmed Friday. "We would like to announce that after seven years together we have decided to formally separate," the couple said in a statement.

 

"For those who follow these sorts of things, we would like to explain that our separation is not the result of any speculation reported by the tabloid media," the actors said.

 

 

The couple didn't indicate if they plan to divorce, and publicist Cindy Guagenti declined to comment beyond the statement, which also said, "We happily remain committed and caring friends with great love and admiration for one another."

 

 

The separation, first reported on People magazine's Web site, comes 4 1/2 years after the pair's wedding and after months of speculation that their marriage was in trouble.

 

 

Aniston has recently been photographed in public without her diamond-studded wedding ring, according to People, although the magazine said the couple had spent the New Year's weekend together on the Caribbean island of Anguilla with Aniston's former "Friends" co-star Courteney Cox (news) and her husband, actor David Arquette (news).

 

 

Pitt, 41, and Aniston, 35, have been together since being set up on a blind date in 1998. They were married in a lavish wedding on July 29, 2000, on a Malibu estate overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Some 200 people attended the event, which included four bands, a gospel choir, fireworks and tens of thousands of flowers.

 

 

Part of Pacific Coast Highway was shut down to accommodate the influx of guests, which included actress Cameron Diaz (news) and most of Aniston's "Friends" co-stars. It was the first marriage for both.

 

 

Until rumors began swirling that they were about to split, there were near-constant tabloid rumors that Aniston was pregnant. The actress had told People in 2002 that she and Pitt eventually wanted to start a family.

 

 

"Absolutely it will happen but probably not for a while," she said at the time.

 

 

Since their wedding, Pitt and Anniston have been touted not only as one of Hollywood's most glamorous couples but also one of the film industry's most powerful. They are co-owners of the Plan B production company with producer Brad Grey, who earlier this week was hired to replace Sherry Lansing as head of the Paramount studio.

 

 

Aniston is perhaps the most recognizable star of "Friends," the ensemble show that concluded a 10-year run last year as one of television's highest-rated comedies. She also has starred in such films as "Along Came Polly," "Bruce Almighty" and "The Good Girl." Her father is veteran soap opera actor John Aniston.

 

 

Pitt, long one of Hollywood' most bankable film stars, is currently seen in "Ocean's Twelve." Other film credits include "Ocean's Eleven," "Fight Club," "Meet Joe Black," "Seven Years in Tibet," "Sleepers," "12 Monkeys," "Legends of the Fall," "A River Runs Through It" and "Thelma & Louise."

I didn't realise how long they had been together or that Pitt was 41.

I was actually considering starting a Celebrity Divorce Pool. Just though I'd throw that in.

 

Not really suprising. Children probably played a huge rule in the split. He wanted kids more than her would be my guess.

Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston's marriage came to an end after she caught him having phone sex with Angelina Jolie, it has been claimed.

 

Britain's News of the World newspaper alleges that the former 'Friends' beauty went "ballistic" when she heard her husband having steamy conversations with his 'Mr and Mrs' co-star Angelina and the couple quickly decided their four-year-old marriage was over.

 

A source told the paper: "Jennifer listened in on the conversation but I don't know if she accidentally picked up the other phone or deliberately did that.

 

Either way, she went ballistic.

"When she confronted Brad about it, he wasn't going to take it any more. He realised it was the end of the line for marriage and he told Jennifer as much."

 

For the past for months, speculation had been rife that Brad and Jennifer's marriage was in trouble with many saying his friendship with Angelina had caused huge problems.

 

However, Brad has always insisted that his relationship with the Oscar-winning beauty was purely platonic.

[Guest The Shadow Behind You]

So Brad ended his deal with Aniston for what had to be better sex even if only verbal...

 

God damn I love brad pitt.

[Guest Mindless_Aggression]

I officially have a lot of respect for Brad Pitt. That's a gigantic upgrade on every level and I think we should throw a party for him.
