But, the sad news wasn’t the only thing that had Jennifer Aniston’s name trending on Thursday. It seems that many people noticed that her ex, Brad Pitt is also now single after splitting from his wife Angelia Jolie in 2016. Suddenly, Twitter was divided over whether or not Aniston and Pitt should reunited given Pitt’s alleged bad behavior and alcoholism that has made headlines through the years.

Why are people saying Jennifer Aniston should get back with Brad Pitt now they're both single? His sorry ass cheated on her! She deserves wayyyy better. And I say this even though she was my least favourite friends character.

While fans might be torn over whether or not the two should reunite in 2018, one thing is clear, Aniston and Theroux do plan to remain friends despite the end of their marriage.
According to PEOPLE, the couple “[has] been apart for several weeks” but Aniston is “fine.”
“Jen has continued her life as usual,” the source told the publication. “She has seemed fine. There has been no indication that she is upset.”
Since the split, Aniston has been focused on spending time with friends and plans to keep the piece with her soon-to-be ex-husband.
“She and Justin started out as friends, and always admired each other a lot. It seems they will continue to be friends,” the source said.
