Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston Split

By JOHN ROGERS, Associated Press Writer

LOS ANGELES - Hollywood glamour couple Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston (news) have split, his publicist confirmed Friday.

 

"We would like to announce that after seven years together we have decided to formally separate," the couple said in a statement.

"For those who follow these sorts of things, we would like to explain that our separation is not the result of any speculation reported by the tabloid media," the actors said.

The couple didn't indicate if they plan to divorce, and publicist Cindy Guagenti declined to comment beyond the statement, which also said, "We happily remain committed and caring friends with great love and admiration for one another."

The separation, first reported on People magazine's Web site, comes 4 1/2 years after the pair's wedding and after months of speculation that their marriage was in trouble.

Aniston has recently been photographed in public without her diamond-studded wedding ring, according to People, although the magazine said the couple had spent the New Year's weekend together on the Caribbean island of Anguilla with Aniston's former "Friends" co-star Courteney Cox (news) and her husband, actor David Arquette (news).

Pitt, 41, and Aniston, 35, have been together since being set up on a blind date in 1998. They were married in a lavish wedding on July 29, 2000, on a Malibu estate overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Some 200 people attended the event, which included four bands, a gospel choir, fireworks and tens of thousands of flowers.

Part of Pacific Coast Highway was shut down to accommodate the influx of guests, which included actress Cameron Diaz (news) and most of Aniston's "Friends" co-stars. It was the first marriage for both.

Until rumors began swirling that they were about to split, there were near-constant tabloid rumors that Aniston was pregnant. The actress had told People in 2002 that she and Pitt eventually wanted to start a family.

"Absolutely it will happen but probably not for a while," she said at the time.

Since their wedding, Pitt and Anniston have been touted not only as one of Hollywood's most glamorous couples but also one of the film industry's most powerful. They are co-owners of the Plan B production company with producer Brad Grey, who earlier this week was hired to replace Sherry Lansing as head of the Paramount studio.

Aniston is perhaps the most recognizable star of "Friends," the ensemble show that concluded a 10-year run last year as one of television's highest-rated comedies. She also has starred in such films as "Along Came Polly," "Bruce Almighty" and "The Good Girl." Her father is veteran soap opera actor John Aniston.

Pitt, long one of Hollywood' most bankable film stars, is currently seen in "Ocean's Twelve." Other film credits include "Ocean's Eleven," "Fight Club," "Meet Joe Black," "Seven Years in Tibet," "Sleepers," "12 Monkeys," "Legends of the Fall," "A River Runs Through It" and "Thelma & Louise."

Damn, seven years? It seemed shorter than that.. and I'm honestly surprised they lasted THIS long.

I read how they were on holiday like last week and they seemed fine together. I honestly think they'll be back together within time if this is all true. I actually thought the two made a great couple, obviously I don't actually know how there lives are though so I cant really say that.

Either way Pitt still rocks and well Anniston still rocks too

[Dogg]

Meh, they lasted longer than I thought they would. A breakup was overdue.

[Laice07]

Too bad...seems like the only celebs that could do it right is Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe, there's also Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze. But I agree with Dogg, the breakup was overdue, even though they looked great together.

[Ananas]

Uh oh, looks like Jen Aniston's career is over.

[Enter Blue Guy]

Sucks that Aniston is going to fade out of the public eye and all, I'm a huge fan. Oh well, she's rich and hot, I'm sure she'll do just fine. Plus, I have my Friend's DVDs to keep my memory of her alive. Still, I hope she'll rebound from this, like I said, I'm a huge fan and admirer.

I'm a big fan of Pitt's too, oh well, he's not going to suffer.

Hell LUMBARG fucked her.

Apparently, they broke up because Jennifer Aniston has been refusing to put family first. what I've read is that she wants to put her career first because she doesn't want to be remembered as the girl from Friends.

[punky]

Yeah, Pitt's been quoted many times as saying that he wants to start a family but Aniston doesn't. Which sucks because now her career will slowly fizzle away because she's not really that good of an actress.

[Guest The Real Deal]

Why is it that all Hollywood couples split up?

And as CM said I personally believe that maybe that was the reason.

[Enter Blue Guy]

I like her as an actress, but sadly I do agree her career will fizzle out. But like I said, I think she is rich and hot enough to live a good life without Brad. But they are still friends...or so they say. I guess the couples that get stoned together, don't stay together...

[FLiam]

Blimey, seven years? It seems like 3 or 4 not 7.

Anyway, I am here for you Jennifer if you need a shoulder to cry on.

[Pepsi]

That's sad I really liked these two together. I don't agree that her career will fizzle out though.

News of the World says Pitt's been having an affair with Angelina Jolie. But then it's probably lying.
