All eyes were on the former spouses as the two celebrated their separate wins at the 26th annual SAG Awards—Pitt for his performance in Once Upon a Time…in Hollywood and Aniston for her role in Apple TV’s The Morning Show.
Though Aniston rejected the concept of the two getting back together on the SAG red carpet—she even brushed off recent rumors as “hilarious”—backstage photos of the two actors embracing after Aniston’s win continued to tease longtime shippers of the former couple that maybe—just maybe!—a single spark could still exist between the two.
One photo, posted by The Hollywood Reporter, showcased Pitt pausing in the midst of backstage commotion to stop and affectionately watch Aniston’s acceptance speech for Best Female Actor in a Drama Series. Another, that instantly started making the rounds on Twitter, was a sweet snap of Pitt holding Aniston’s wrist as she walked away at the end of their seemingly short conversation.
As a girl who has (regrettably, because none of my ex-boyfriends were Brad Pitt) gone back to flirt with the idea of a rekindling with an ex—game recognizes game. These two can rebuff rumors of a reunion all they want, but there’s no arguing that their seemingly “friendly” flirting is toying with our hearts.
We’ve rounded up the best tweets surrounding this “non-reunion” below—you be the judge.
