Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Aniston are no strangers to headlines, but their decades-long feud seems to have been reignited in the wake of Jolie’s Oscar buzz for her role in “Maria.”
While both women have built impressive careers, their personal history—centered around their shared connection to Brad Pitt—continues to capture the public’s fascination.
The backstory is Hollywood legend. Aniston was married to Pitt when he began working with Jolie on “Mr. & Mrs. Smith.” Their undeniable chemistry quickly led to rumors, which were followed by Pitt and Aniston’s divorce in 2005 and his high-profile romance with Jolie.
For years, fans and media outlets alike have speculated about lingering tensions between the two actresses, painting Jolie as the alleged “homewrecker” and Aniston as the wronged party.
Fast-forward to today, and the dynamic remains charged. While Aniston has reportedly mended fences with Pitt, maintaining what insiders describe as a “friendly, drama-free relationship,” her relationship with Jolie is another story.
A source recently claimed Aniston views herself and Pitt as having been “victims of Angie’s calculated moves,” suggesting that old wounds have yet to heal.
Now, Jolie’s critically acclaimed performance in “Maria” has reignited this rivalry, at least in the public eye. The role has positioned Jolie as a top contender for the upcoming Academy Awards, which some believe has stirred fresh frustrations for Aniston. Jolie, meanwhile, has remained silent on the chatter, allowing her work to speak for itself.
Fans are divided. On one side, some express loyalty to Aniston, with comments like, “Jennifer deserved better back then, and she deserves better now.” On the other, many are calling for an end to the drama, saying, “Both women are thriving—move on already.”
Ultimately, the narrative may say more about our collective obsession with celebrity feuds than it does about Jolie and Aniston themselves.
Whether or not this tension exists off-screen, the enduring fascination with their supposed rivalry keeps the story alive—and ensures that both actresses remain firmly in the spotlight.
