Jennifer started dating Brad in 1998, shortly after Gwyneth and he ended their engagement.

The pair tied the knot in 2000, which solidified them as Hollywood's golden couple.

But the fairytale came to an end when they filed for divorce in 2005.

Jennifer is now engaged to Justin Theroux, and Brad to Angelina Jolie, with whom he shares six children.

"Jennifer started dating Brad in 2008, got married in 2000." Time travelling?

Those might not be reading glasses Robert Downey Jr.'s wife is wearing. As she looks off into the distance. Unless the book is super gigantic!

Just don't mention Brad? Okay, sure. Good advice! I'll work on that next time Jen and I get together.

Justin and Jennifer picked out the tree for this party a few days ago. There were pictures. No reason to think he wasn't there! Plus, Louis Theroux and his wife arrived in a cab. Even though they don't have the picture here. Don't think he'd be there if Justin wasn't there.
