Aside from the glorious outfits on the red carpet, there was one other event at the 2020 Screen Actors Guild Awards that everyone can’t stop talking about.
Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston both took home SAG trophies for their roles in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and The Morning Show, respectively, but the Internet has gone into meltdown after the exes reunited and sparked rumours of a rekindled romance.

(Getty)The couple, who were married from 2000 to 2005, were photographed together for the first time backstage at the awards ceremony and it’s safe to say there are many who lost it after seeing the photos.
What’s more, a video of Brad Pitt watching his ex-wife’s acceptance speech from a backstage screen shared by E News has since gone viral.
Since those iconic photos were snapped, Twitter users have shared their excitement seeing as both parties are now single– Jen and ex-husband Justin Theroux called it quits in 2017 whilst Brad and his ex-wife Angelina Jolie split in 2016.
It’s not just the average Joes getting excited- celebrities are jumping on the band wagon.
“Oh em geeeee,” actress Hilary Duff commented whilst Jamie Lynn Spears exclaimed, “WE WILL BE TELLING OUR GRANDKIDS ABOUT THIS. THATS HOW IMPORTANT THIS IS.”
Even the official Twitter account of the SAG Awards gave a nod to the reunion sharing a series of pictures of the former couple and simply captioning it “We’ll just leave this here.”

However not everyone was as ecstatic at the thought of the Friends star reuniting with her ex-husband, considering their messy break up.
“I think that people forget that Brad Pitt cheated on Jennifer Aniston while they were MARRIED! He made her a joke for the whole world and how can you ship a thing like that? She moved on because she’s a lady, but how can you ship it when he did that to her? Are you serious?” one Twitter user remarked.
“Move along Brad, nothing for you to see here,” another simply wrote.

According to an eyewitness in the press room who spoke to Us Weekly, Jen was “so happy, thrilled and surprised while explaining how she felt excited and overwhelmed,” and was “also making jokes with reporters during the interview.”
Jen herself addressed the obsession fans have with her and Brad reuniting after Entertainment Tonight interviewed her on the red carpet.
“It’s hysterical,” she said, before adding, “But what else are they going to talk about?”
