“It all happened so fast, but at the same time, it felt like it was in slow motion,” the onlooker explained. “Brad and Jen happened to pass each other in the hall, right here in front of me. Everyone was a flutter, giddy with excitement.”

Not to mention, Hollywood’s hottest power couple spent the holidays together in 2019. On Saturday, December 14, In Touch confirmed the actors were seen at the former Friends star’s Christmas party.

“They’re obviously on friendly terms, and the more time that passes, the closer they seem to be getting,” the source divulged. “It’s part of his new sobriety, and Jen has obviously forgiven him. This show of solidarity, at a small gathering like this, is very special. It’s a very grown-up gesture on Jen’s part. You also have to remember, it’s a Christmas party, and they do have a lot of the same friends in common.”

Just three days later, Brad looked “relaxed” and “laid back” at the Once Upon A Time… in Hollywood Q&A as part of the Variety Screening Series Presented by Vudu on December 17. During the star-studded gathering — where the Fight Club alum and his costars Leonardo DiCaprio, Margaret Qualley and Quentin Tarantino were all in attendance — Brad interacted with the crowd. “He was in good spirits and snuck in a couple of sarcastic jokes throughout the Q&A, making the audience laugh,” the eyewitness added.

In other words, it sounds like a (re)walk down the aisle isn’t out of the question! OK … maybe it is. But one can hope, right? Keep scrolling to see Brad and Jen’s sweetest quotes about one another, even post-breakup.

“Is he the love of my life? I think you’re always sort of wondering, ‘Are you the love of my life?’ I mean, I don’t know, I’ve never been someone who says, ‘He’s the love of my life,'” Jen told W magazine. “He’s certainly a big love in my life … And I know that we have something special, especially in all this chaos. In this nutty, brilliant, wonderful, hard business that we have, it’s nice to have somebody who’s anchored and knows you, really knows all of you.”

“He’s a fantastic man. I don’t regret any of it, and I’m not going to beat myself up about it,” she added. “We spent seven very intense years together; we taught each other a lot — about healing and about fun. We helped each other through a lot, and I really value that. It was a beautiful, complicated relationship.”

2008

“When were Brad and I healed? Well, it never was that bad. I mean, look, it’s not like divorce is something that you go, ‘Oooh, I can’t wait to get divorced!’ It doesn’t feel like a tickle. But I’ve got to tell you, it’s so vague at this point, it’s so faraway in my mind, I can’t even remember the darkness,” Jen told Vogue. “I mean, in the end, we really had an amicable split. It wasn’t mean and hateful and all of this stuff that they tried to create about Brad can’t talk to Jen and Jen can’t talk to Brad because this person won’t allow it. It just didn’t happen. The marriage didn’t work out.”

“And pretty soon after we separated, we got on the phone and we had a long, long conversation with each other and said a lot of things, and ever since we’ve been unbelievably warm and respectful of each other,” she continued. “Whoever said everything has to be forever, that’s setting your hopes too high. It’s too much pressure. And I think if you put that pressure on yourself — because I did! Fairy-tale! It has to be the right one! — that’s unattainable.”

2018

“My marriages, they’ve been very successful, in [my] personal opinion,” Jen told Elle, also referring to ex-husband Justin Theroux. “And when they came to an end, it was a choice that was made because we chose to be happy, and sometimes happiness didn’t exist within that arrangement anymore.”

“Sure, there were bumps, and not every moment felt fantastic, obviously, but at the end of it, this is our one life and I would not stay in a situation out of fear,” she said. “Fear of being alone. Fear of not being able to survive. To stay in a marriage based on fear feels like you’re doing your one life a disservice. When the work has been put in and it doesn’t seem that there’s an option of it working, that’s okay. That’s not a failure. We have these clichés around all of this that need to be reworked and retooled, you know? Because it’s very narrow-minded thinking.”

2020

Prior to the 2020 Oscars, a reporter asked in a video obtained by DailyMailTV, “Do you have a date for the Oscars? Will you take Jen with you?” they added. The Hollywood heartthrob continued to crack up at the inquiry and replied, “No, I don’t have a date.” Sigh. There’s always next year!
