There are many reasons we want to be Jennifer Aniston when we grow up and impeccable interior design skills, killer acting chops and beachy hair are but a few of them.

Another reason, is her incredible ability to be good pals with her exes, in this case, Brad Pitt.

During the 2020 Golden Globes, that saw Saoirse Ronan try the naked dress trend, Taylor Swift take her beau properly public (finally) and Michelle Williams break the internet with her moving pro-choice speech, ex husband and wife Pitt and Aniston were sat mere seats away from each other.

This placement meant Dior-wearing Aniston was perfectly in shot when cameras captured Leonardo DiCaprio's reactions to Pitt's acceptance speech for Best Supporting Actor for his role in Once Upon A Time In Hollywood (with whom DiCaprio co-starred).

The 50 year-old Morning Show star was the epitome of good-humour and grace during the speech, sending her ex husband (the pair were married from 2000-2005) supportive vibes as he joked about tabloid speculation around his love life.

Of course, the internet loved Aniston's laughter and clapping during Pitt's speech, and it only confirmed what everyone already knew - then Jen An is a gosh-darn (inter)national treasure.

Pitt had acknowledged the evening would be something of a public reunion for the pair, who last jointly went to the awards ceremony in 2002, to Entertainment Tonight.

'I'll run into Jen, she's a good friend.

'The second most important reunion of her year? I understand,' Pitt continued, adding, 'That was a play on Friends.'

That's right, the pair are firm friends, a fact we learnt when she reportedly invited 56 year-old Pitt to her birthday last December. Strangely, we missed our invite, but we're sure it will come round next festive season.
