Superstar exes Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston reunited backstage at Sunday night’s SAG Awards and unsurprisingly, Twitter could not get enough.
Pitt took home the award for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Supporting Role for Quentin Tarantino "Once Upon A Time In Hollywood." He poked fun at his dull love life during his speech.

Aniston bagged the Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Drama Series for "The Morning Show."

But it was their backstage interaction that got everyone talking and longing for the early 2000s, when Friends was still on the air and fans believed Brad and Jen would always be #couplegoals.
Both Pitt and Aniston have been out and about in this year's award show circuit, in support of their projects.
Over the years, the former flames have remained friends. Pitt attended Aniston's annual holiday party, as well as her 50th birthday bash in February 2019.
The duo were married from 2000 to 2005 and became one of the most beloved A-list pairings in history. They’ve both since remarried and divorced another set of famous spouses ― Angelina Jolie and Justin Theroux ― but fans have continued hope that they’d get back together one day.
Many watching along were taken back by just how comforting it was to see Pitt and Aniston together again – after all these years. One Twitter user excitedly wrote, “Guys, Brad and Jen was years ago, enough already now, Would everybody please just stop and tell me where I should get this tattooed.”
“Me after seeing the photo, do we call them Braniston or Anipitt?” another user mused. “Therapist: so what brings you in today? Me: *slams this picture of Brad Pitt holding Jennifer Aniston’s hand on the table*,” one shared with a picture of Pitt holding onto his former wife’s hand a little too long.
Pitt, who said he was nursing a flu, looked down at his award and said, "I've got to add this to my Tinder profile.”
"Let's be honest, it was a difficult part. A guy who gets high, takes his shirt off and doesn't get on with his wife," joked Pitt. "It was a big stretch.” The audience laughed and clapped, including — as the cameras captured — Aniston, his ex-wife.
Among the films vying for the screen actors’ top honour, best ensemble, are Oscar heavyweights "Once Upon a Time ... in Hollywood” and "The Irishman.” They are competing with "Parasite” (only the second foreign language nominee after "Life Is Beautiful," which received a nod in 1999), "Jojo Rabbit” and "Bombshell.”
Awards for stunt ensemble were announced ahead of the ceremony, with prizes going to Marvel's "Avengers: Endgame" and HBO's "Game of Thrones."
