Friends star Jennifer Aniston has revealed that she and her co-star Gwyneth Paltrow still discuss their mutual ex, Brad Pitt, in a rare glimpse into the personal relationship between the Hollywood stars.

Paltrow and Pitt were engaged for a few months in 1996-1997, and he was later married to Aniston from 2000 to 2005.

In an interview with Vanity Fair, Aniston was asked if she and her close friend Paltrow talk about their ex. "Oh, of course. How could we not? We're girls," she replied.

However, the two actresses exchange "more health advice than gossip." Both are known for their focus on healthy living, and Aniston says, “We’re always exchanging advice—‘What are you doing about this?’ ‘What about that?’ ‘Do you have a new doctor for this?’”

The actress described her split from Pitt 20 years ago as a “very vulnerable time,” adding wryly, “I was at her [Paltrow’s] and Brad’s engagement party.”

The two met in 1996, when Paltrow and Aniston’s Friends co-star David Schwimmer were filming The Pallbearer. | BGNES
