Brad PittandJennifer Anistonhad an emotional moment when they reunited backstage at theScreen Actors Guild Awards.
The actors happily greeted each other after they both wonSAG Awardsin their respective categories at the awards show on Sunday.
The two stars were married for five years before their divorce in 2005. While they’ve long been cordial, they’ve been more public about their friendship in the last year.

“My marriages, they’ve been very successful, in [my] personal opinion,” Aniston said, referring to her marriages to Pitt and Justin Theroux. “And when they came to an end, it was a choice that was made because we chose to be happy, and sometimes happiness doesn’t exist within that arrangement anymore.”
“Sure, there were bumps, and not every moment felt fantastic, obviously, but at the end of it, this is our one life and I would not stay in a situation out of fear. Fear of being alone. Fear of not being able to survive. To stay in a marriage based on fear feels like you’re doing your one life a disservice,” she added. “When the work has been put in and it doesn’t seem that there’s an option of it working, that’s okay. That’s not a failure. We have these clichés around all of this that need to be reworked and retooled, you know? Because it’s very narrow-minded thinking.”
Pitt went on to wed actressAngelina Jolie. The two, who share six children, split in September 2016 after two years of marriage and 12 years together.
