Throwback to the SAG Awards: Jen and Brad’s Epic 2020 Reunion

Ah, the SAG Awards—an event where Hollywood’s biggest stars strut their stuff, and drama isn’t just reserved for the screen. Remember that unforgettable moment in 2020 when Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt, the ultimate ex-couple, reunited backstage and sent the internet into a frenzy? Talk about fan service! The ex-lovers, who were married from 2000 to 2005, crossed paths right after Brad snagged his award for Outstanding Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,” while Jen was about to accept her own accolade for her lead role in “The Morning Show.”
It was pure serendipity. As fate would have it, just as Brad exited the stage, Jen was making her entrance, leading to one of the most iconic backstage moments we’ve witnessed in years. A warm hug, a couple of genuine congratulations, and the kind of glowing vibes only exes who’ve maintained a friendly relationship can muster. In fact, Jennifer later described their exchange as “absolutely fun” and verified that they still chat regularly.
Despite the heartwarming reunion, all sources indicate that there’s nothing romantic simmering between these two—no new couples’ retreat on the horizon, folks. But let’s be real, the fantasy of a reconciliation had fans buzzing. Social media was lit up with memes and GIFs capturing their fleeting yet precious moment together. And can we talk about Jen’s stunning white gown? Someone give that stylist a medal!
As the 2025 SAG Awards approach—mark your calendars for February 23 at LA’s Shrine Auditorium—our collective curiosity is piqued. What other unexpected reunions might unfold? Will we see more ex-flames or maybe costars embracing for the cameras? Who knows? What’s for sure is that Hollywood knows how to deliver a show! So here’s to hoping for more unforgettable moments like the one we witnessed in 2020.
