Jennifer Aniston doesn't find it 'painful' talking about Brad Pitt

Jennifer Aniston doesn't find it hard talking about Brad Pitt.

The 45-year-old actress was married to Brad, 51, from 2000 to 2005, and Jennifer insists they maintain a healthy relationship despite their high-profile split and Brad's subsequent relationship with Angelina Jolie.

The former 'Friends' star said: ''I don't find it painful. I think it's a narrative that follows you because it's an interesting headline. It's more of a media-driven topic.''

In fact, Jennifer revealed that she and Brad still communicate with each other, although she confesses it's not something they do on a regular basis.

Jennifer - who has been engaged to screenwriter Justin Theroux since 2012 - told CBS: ''We've exchanged good wishes and all that sort of stuff to each other, but it's not a constant thing.''

Her remarks come shortly after Angelina Jolie said being married to Brad is an ''extraordinary feeling''.

The 39-year-old star, who tied the knot with the 'Fury' actor last year, said the ceremony was so special because it was shared with their children - Maddox, Zahara, Pax, Shiloh, Vivienne and Knox.

She explained: ''As soon as it was all over, we all just changed clothes and hung out. It was just a very happy time. It wasn't this monumental change - we were just very happy and sure, and it's quite an extraordinary feeling to be so sure. It gives you peace.''
