While Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston were considered the “golden couple” of America, their romance had a tragic end when the actor left her for Angelina Jolie. However, Pitt and Jen have become friends now with some serious efforts on the actor’s part.

While there has been no concrete evidence of their romance blossoming anew, the buzz is that Pitt and Aniston have managed to become friends again. However, it is being said that the “Fight Club” star made that possible.

The actor added that he feels his “marriage had something to do with it.” He also said to the magazine that he was “trying to pretend the marriage was something that it wasn’t.”

The actor had further commented that he was satisfied with making “true choices and finding the woman” he loves.  Pitt was referring to his former wife Angelina Jolie and added that he was happy in building a family he loves so much.

However, the actor later apologized to Jennifer Aniston by mentioning that he was sad that his comments were “interpreted this way.” He praised Jen saying that she is an “incredibly giving, loving, and hilarious woman” who continues to be his friend.

The “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” star also mentioned how he values his relationship with the “Friends” alum.  He clarified his earlier remarks by saying that it was not Jen who was dull but him who was “becoming dull” to himself and he holds himself responsible for that.
