Jennifer Aniston has revealed the last words she said to Angelina Jolie before her split from Brad Pitt.

Pitt, 61, and Jolie, 49, first met almost 20 years ago, when they starred together in the 2005 film, Mr. & Mrs. Smith.

At the time, Pitt was married to Friends star Jennifer Aniston - though they ended up divorcing in 2005.

"We would like to announce that after seven years together we have decided to formally separate," they said in a statement at the time.

"For those who follow these sorts of things, we would like to explain that our separation is not the result of any of the speculation reported by the tabloid media.

"This decision is the result of much thoughtful consideration. We happily remain committed and caring friends with great love and admiration for one another."

Prior to getting divorced, Aniston has recalled a conversation she had with Jolie outside the set of Friends, shortly before Pitt began working with Jolie on the movie.

"It was on the lot of Friends, I pulled over and introduced myself," she told Vanity Fair.

"I said, 'Brad is so excited about working with you. I hope you guys have a really good time.'"

According to the publication, the end of Aniston and Pitt's marriage also coincided with the conclusion of Friends, which Jen found difficult.

“That was really painful. It was a family, and I don’t do great with families splitting up,” she said.

“It was hard to have such a wonderful constant in your life, a place to go every day, and then all of a sudden it’s not there.”

Speaking of Pitt, she said: “He just wasn’t there for me."

After meeting on the set of Mr & Mrs Smith, Pitt and Jolie started dating before later marrying in 2014.

They went on to have six children together - Maddox, 23, Pax, 21, Zahara, 19, Shiloh, 18, and 16-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne.

However, just two years after they made their vows, Jolie filed for divorce, citing 'irreconcilable differences'.

It later emerged that Jolie had accused Pitt of being abusive towards her and two of her children during a flight that year.

Pitt has denied the allegations and was not charged following a police probe.

Speaking about the settlement this week, Jolie's lawyer, James Simon told CBS News in a statement: "More than eight years ago, Angelina filed for divorce from Mr Pitt.

"She and the children left all of the properties they had shared with Mr Pitt.

"Since that time she has focused on finding peace and healing for their family.

"This is just one part of a long ongoing process that started eight years ago.

"Frankly, Angelina is exhausted, but she is relieved this one part is over."
