Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt rocked Hollywood and the world when they began dating back in 1998.
Their golden faces were on the cover of every single magazine lining the shelves and it was hard to avoid their fairytale and whirlwind romance.
For five months the pair dated as boyfriend and girlfriend before hunky Brad popped the question to Jennifer in 1999.
The following year they wed, before divorcing five years later in early 2005.
However, it turns out that – according to reports – Jennifer made her man wait nine months for sex, meaning they were engaged before they hit the sack, if claims are true.

A source previously told The Mirror that while most newly engaged couples would be going at it like rabbits, Jennifer allegedly made Brad wait nine months due to being worried it would “ruin their relationship”.
“It was the wisest thing Jennifer could have done. Imagine telling Brad Pitt to wait for sex,” a friend claimed at the time.
“It had never happened – at least not in his recent lifetime.”

The couple is finally said to have got hot and heavy during a romantic weekend in Acapulco, Mexico, on Valentine’s Day 1999, just five months before their wedding.
“He found her irresistible,” the pal added.
Brad and Jen met after they were set up on a date by their agents and both said at the time that they “both knew” they had found something special in one another.

They quickly moved into her quaint two-bedroom Hollywood Hills bachelorette pad.
Jennifer previously told Vanity Fair: “It was a little love nest.
“From the second date, we just huddled into this little house. We wound up sitting on the couch and ordering in, having steak and mashed potatoes. That’s how it all began.”
Jennifer continued: “It was one of those weird feelings where you just kind of know. You feel like you’re hanging out with your buddy.

“There was something very familiar about it. This was just very much meant to be.”
While the pair have never confirmed or denied if they did wait it out, Brad did once dish the dirt on the couple’s sex life and revealed the pair had a kinky bathtub in their Beverly Hills martial home.
He told W magazine in 2001 that he had one thing on his mind when he kitted out their bathroom, a giant marble bathtub.

The hunk told the publication: “The bathroom was the first thing in the house I worked on at the time when Jen and I were really hooking up strong.
“Things are on your mind… and I guess I had a dirty mind at the time.”
Despite the pair’s heartbreaking divorce, they have always remained close friends according to countless sources over the years.
Last year an insider reportedly told Us Magazine: “They’ve always cared about each other, and they think fondly of their time together.”

In the same year, they were photographed at the SAG Awards looking excited to see one another as they hugged it out.
Even in the days following their 2005 break-up – before Brad and Ange had gone public – a friend of the couple insisted their divorce had nothing to do with fading feelings.
“They still love each other,” a source told People at the time.

“The separation is a step back to see if their relationship is going to be forever or if it’s not. They’re still very close.”
In 2008 Jennifer sweetly opened up on her thoughts on Brad three years after their split and after he went public with his relationship with Angelina Jolie.
Jennifer told the fashion publication: “Nothing but absolute admiration for him, and… I’m proud of him!
“I think he’s really done some amazing things.

“Ever since we’ve been unbelievably warm and respectful of each other.
“Whoever said everything has to be forever, that’s setting your hopes too high. It’s too much pressure.
“And I think if you put that pressure on yourself – because I did! Fairy tale! It has to be the right one! – that’s unattainable.”
