Ellen DeGeneres made a cheeky joke about Jennifer Aniston’s marriage to Justin Theroux.
Don’t worry, this isn’t a case of ‘too soon’. The gag was a few days before the couple announced in a joint statement they had ‘lovingly’ decided to split after two years of marriage.
The actress appeared on Ellen’s show, which celebrated the talk show presenter’s 60th birthday two weeks ago, and talk turned to women having a crush on Jennifer when she was in Friends back in the 90s.
Ellen said: ‘I think a lot of people had crushes on you so they were hoping you were.’
They did? How do you guys ever know? What are the clues?’ Jennifer asked, ‘I don’t know how it works.’
Ellen replied: ‘It’s just I don’t know, flirty or something. But I do think girls had crushes on you.’
‘That’s so sweet,’ Jennifer said.
‘Well it’s too late now!’ Ellen quipped. Jennifer said: ‘Yeah’.
