Almost 18 years ago, Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston walked the red carpet at the 59th Annual Golden Globe Awards.
The Friends star had received her first nomination for her role as Rachel Green, and Pitt was there to show his support.
The celebrities, who had tied the knot just two years before, strolled hand in hand and wrapped their arms around each other as they posed for pictures.
Three years later, they divorced.
Pitt went on to marry Angelina Jolie, but the two called it quits in 2016. Aniston also remarried and exchanged vows with Justin Theroux in 2015. However, the pair split in 2017.
Even though Aniston and Pitt broke up more than a decade ago, fans’ interest level in the duo has remained strong. For instance, many were surprised to see the Moneyball star attend Aniston’s 50th birthday party earlier this year. So when pop culture enthusiasts learned both celebrities were among the 2020 Golden Globe nominees, they couldn’t help but wonder if a red carpet run-in could occur.
Of course, fans will just have to wait until the big award show to see if this takes place. The 77th Annual Golden Globe Awards show takes place Sunday, Jan. 5, 2020.
Until then, enjoy this trip down memory lane and look back at photos of Aniston and Pitt at the 2002 Golden Globe Awards.

An Example of "Friendly" Exes
So, where do these two stand now?
“They’ve been in touch over the last few years and talk occasionally,” a source told E! News. “If they run into each other they will congratulate each other and exchange pleasantries. They want the best for each other. The past is a long time in the past. They don’t talk often, but when they do, it’s very warm and positive. It’s not as big of a deal to them as it is to everyone around them. There are no issues with being in the same place at the same time.”
Another insider said, “They definitely aren’t dating or on that path.”
“They are friendly, but that’s it,” the latter source said.
