Celebrities who remained friends after dating the same person

In 1998, Aniston started dating Brad Pitt. They got engaged in 1999 and married the following year, but split in 2005 as the Hollywood heartthrob moved on with his Mr and Mrs Smith costar Angelina Jolie.

Before the remarkable romance, Aniston’s boyfriend Paltrow started her romance with the Wolfen actor in 1994, but broke up with him in 1997, months after their engagement.

Despite sharing an ex, Aniston has consistently spoken highly of the ex Iron man actress.

Paltrow told To tempt: “I’ve known her for a long time. That woman has style to the moon and back. Chic, effortless, beautiful. This sums us up. Look, I’m wearing a T-shirt, jeans and 400-year-old shoes, and this one is just to a T. She’s always been sweet to me.”
