While everyone freaks out about the return of Bennifer, there’s another celebrity couple the world hopes could get together one day- Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt. The couple when on their first date in 1998, were married by 2000, and divorced by 2005. Sixteen years later, we still can‘t get enough of them, and neither can they. While promoting the upcoming “Friends: The Reunion” Aniston and her former castmates Courteney Cox and Lisa Kudrow were reminiscing about all their favorite “Friends” guest stars through the years, per Us. After listing celebrities like Reese Witherspoon, Sean Penn, Ben Stiller, Charlie Sheen, and Paul Rudd, Aniston gushed about another one of her favorites: her ex-husband.

Aniston was nominated for the show 5 times, taking home the Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series in 2002.
