Brad Pitt's first wife was Jennifer Aniston, whom he married in July 2000. Their relationship garnered significant media attention, and they were considered a high-profile Hollywood couple. However, they divorced in October 2005 after five years of marriage. Aniston is known for her role in the television series "Friends," which contributed to her fame, while Pitt's career was already well-established by the time they wed. Their split was widely covered in the press, leading to speculation about Pitt's relationship with Angelina Jolie, which began shortly after his divorce from Aniston.
