Brad Pitt made a very rare sighting with Courteney Cox at the Rock4EB charity event in Malibu, California on Saturday.
The Troy actor, 60, had his arm around the Friends actress, also 60, who looked a little apprehensive.
This is a shocking move as Cox is best friends with Jennifer Aniston, who went through a messy divorce from Pitt nearly 20 years ago.
Until now it was not known if Pitt and Cox had a friendly relationship, but the photograph seems to confirm it.
Jennifer and Brad were married from 2000 to 2005, after being together for two years.
When he moved on with Angelina Jolie, Aniston didn’t hold back when criticizing the matinee idol, saying he lacked “a sensitivity chip.”
Brad Pitt made a rare sighting with Courteney Cox at the Rock4EB charity event in Malibu, California, on Saturday. The Troy actor, 60, had his arm around the Friends actress, also 60, who looked a little apprehensive.
Cox and Pitt were very close when he was married to Jennifer. They were often seen vacationing together in Mexico.
And Pitt even made a surprise appearance on her TV show Friends; it was a 2001 episode titled The One With The Rumor.
The synopsis: Monica (played by Cox) invites Will (played by Pitt), an old school friend of hers and Ross (played by David Schwimmer) to Thanksgiving dinner, unaware that he doesn’t like Rachel (played by Aniston) very much.
In recent years, Pitt and Aniston have appeared to be at peace, even holding hands and flirting a bit when they ran into each other at the SAG Awards in 2020.
Brad’s date to the Malibu event was his girlfriend of two years, Ines de Ramon, 31.
The Once Upon A Time in Hollywood actor looked dapper in a cream shirt and khaki pants with a bold yellow check print and silver zipper detailing.
Her attendance at the charity event comes shortly after DailyMail.com exclusively learned that de Ramon had “banned” her friends, family and even work contacts from speaking about her relationship with Pitt and even made them sign confidentiality agreements to “build trust.”
It’s a surprising decision, as Cox is best friends with Jennifer Aniston, who had a difficult divorce from Pitt nearly 20 years ago. Seen on September 15 at the Emmys

“Ines has told all her friends to never leak any information of any kind about her or them,” a source told DailyMail.com.
“She’s playing it safe because she loves Brad and wants him to trust her as she hopes to marry him one day,” the source added. “She really cares about him.”
However, the beauty has been accompanying her Hollywood star partner as he promotes his new film Wolfs, which has put the shy executive in the spotlight: she attended the Venice Film Festival and the film’s premiere in Los Angeles and was spotted with him in New York while doing press rounds.
Pitt likes a lot of privacy.
“Ines knows that Brad has a big problem with women kissing and telling their stories, he hates that and thinks it’s nonsense. He has always been worried that women will use him for their fame,” said the source.
“But Ines is clearly not doing that and he feels comfortable with her. She is being super careful not to say a word about him because she wants to build trust with him, she wants him to lean on her and see her as a potential wife.
‘She’s in this for the long haul and doesn’t want to screw anything up with Brad.’
Inés is the vice president of Los Angeles-based fine jewelry brand Anita Ko, a position she has held since January 2020. She has modeled here and there, but she never gives too much importance to either.
An example is how he doesn’t put pressure on Anito Ko.

“Inés wears Anito Ko jewelry all the time, but she never tells reporters, she doesn’t even talk to them and she doesn’t give it much importance,” said a source.
“She doesn’t want Brad to think she’s trying to promote her career or her agenda at her events. She’s very smart about that.”

Meanwhile, Jolie said last week that She was overwhelmed by the ‘beautiful feeling’ of putting her children first in life.

Her comments come as she and Brad continue to fight over the sale of their share of the French vineyard where they married in 2014.
The couple’s relationship came to an end when Jolie filed for divorce on September 20, 2016.
While Brad, 60, had originally sought a 50/50 arrangement regarding their six children, a source said in March that he no longer disputes the matter.
That means Angelina, 49, will retain primary physical custody of the children and have visitation rights.
Pitt has spent time with the children, but has not been photographed with them.
She previously told WSJ magazine about her enormous bond with her children: ‘They are the closest people to me and my life, and they are my close friends.
She has now spoken openly about the fact that she feels second best compared to her children. The single mother told CR Fashion Book about the lessons she has learned from being a mother: “There are too many to count or name just one.” Brad has not been photographed with the children in over 8 years.
“We are seven very different people and that is our strength.”
Angelina also spoke about running her fashion label Atelier Jolie and her role as opera singer Maria Callas in the upcoming film Maria.
She said of spending months training to sing for the film: ‘(Director) Pablo (Larraín) expected me to learn, to really sing… to understand and study opera, to immerse myself completely and do the work.
‘But it was much more than that, it was about understanding Maria Callas and being able to interpret the character.’
Angelina said the training was an “emotional” experience and was like “therapy” that she didn’t know she needed.
She added: “I had no idea how much I was holding in and not letting out.”
‘So the challenge was not technical, it was an emotional experience, finding my voice, being in my body, expressing myself.
“You have to give every part of yourself… everything you have.”
Her next film is Maria, in which she plays opera singer Maria Callas.
