Reese Witherspoon recently shared a rare update on the relationship between her longtime friend Jennifer Aniston and Aniston’s former husband Brad Pitt. Speaking on the Armchair Expert podcast, Witherspoon offered insight into how close the two remain nearly 20 years after their divorce, highlighting the nature of their ongoing connection.
During the conversation, Witherspoon, who has known Aniston for over two decades through their work on The Morning Show, described the Friends star as someone who does not hold grudges, challenging common perceptions about her personality.
She’s not who people think she is — like, holding onto old things. She’s not holding onto old things,
Witherspoon told podcast host Dax Shepard.
When Shepard questioned whether Aniston still thought about Pitt, Witherspoon firmly answered that she does not. Their relationship is free of bitterness, and Aniston remains on friendly terms with many from her past, including ex-partners.
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. She just is a high spiritual-integrity person.
Witherspoon also highlighted the difference between their personalities, describing Aniston as warm and inviting, someone who easily brings people together.
She’s really warm and welcoming. She’s, like, a big host. Like, ‘come over!’ She’s very warm and friendly. I think I’m more, like, nerdy.
