It was the moment we’d been waiting for all awards season.
After months of near misses at various ceremonies, Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt were photographed reuniting backstage at the SAG Awards on Sunday (January 19) evening.
It was a successful night for the former couple, who married in 2000 and split in 2005, with Pitt receiving the Best Supporting Actor trophy for Once Upon A Time… In Hollywood and Aniston named Best Actress in a Drama Series for The Morning Show.
But their wins became just a footnote in the Brad and Jen saga, as the first pictures of the pair together in more than 15 years sent the internet into meltdown.
