Reese Witherspoon recently addressed the nature of Jennifer Aniston’s connection to Brad Pitt during a discussion with Dax Shepard.

The actress also highlighted how Aniston extended an invitation to Pitt for her 50th birthday celebration, indicating a peaceful personal dynamic.
Reese Witherspoon’s Insight on Aniston’s Attitude Toward the Past
In the interview on Shepard’s Armchair Expert podcast, Witherspoon shared,
“She’s not who people think she is—like, holding onto old things,”
referring to Aniston’s emotional outlook. When Shepard suggested,
“She’s not pining for Brad Pitt,”
Witherspoon agreed wholeheartedly, referencing the inclusive guest list at Aniston’s milestone birthday party.
“And by the way, at her 50th birthday—one of the biggest testaments I can say to what a wonderful person she is—people from her teenage years, people from her 20s, people who work in her home, every ex-husband, ex-boyfriend was there,”
Witherspoon added, further underscoring Aniston’s broad and gracious social circle. She concluded by calling Aniston “a high spiritual-integrity person.”
Jennifer Aniston Reflects on Past Breakup
Jennifer Aniston herself has been reserved about discussing her split from Pitt over the years. During a rare moment in a recent Vanity Fair cover interview, Aniston recalled a 2005 profile titled The Unsinkable Jennifer Aniston. She remarked,
“I haven’t looked at that article in forever,”
adding,
“I just remember the experience of doing it—which was kind of jarring. It was also such a vulnerable time. But yeah, that was one for the memoirs.”

The show was renewed for a fifth season this September, just before the premiere of the fourth season. Discussing the new season’s themes, Aniston described it as
“jam-packed full of exploring AI, deep fakes, who can you trust, who’s telling the truth, betrayal, heartbreak—severe heartbreak—and friendship.”
