It was bound to happen sooner or later.

For the third time since their 2005 divorce, Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston nearly came face-to-face at ArcLight Cinemas in Hollywood Friday. (The couple have only been in the same place twice since their split: in 2009 at the Academy Awards and in 2010 at the Hope for Haiti telethon; they didn't cross paths at either event.)

Pitt, 47, took four of his children with Angelina Jolie --  Maddox, 10, Pax, 8, Zahara, 6, and Shiloh, 5 -- to see the 2:00 showing of Martin Scorsese's Hugo, starring Chloe Moretz, Sacha Baron Cohen and Jude Law. See pics of Brad and his brood at the ArcLight.

Once the family flick ended, Pitt and his brood headed to the parking garage just as Aniston, 42, and current love Justin Theroux entered the theater for a later showing. See pics of Jen and Justin at the ArcLight.

"Justin and Jennifer skipped the popcorn and went straight in. Like five minutes later, Brad and the kids came out of the theater," a source tells X17. "They just missed each other!"

Perhaps it was a good thing the ex-spouses managed to steer clear of each other. "They don't talk," an Aniston insider told Us Weekly in September. "She will always think of him as a jerk."

    It's almost like Fred Flintstone chickening out on Greta Gravel when he sees his wife Wilma at the same restaurant he's entertaining Ms. Gravel in as a favor to Mr. Slate - imagine Brad as Fred and Jennifer as Wilma. "Shall I call a cab, sir?" "Never mind, I'll crawl home!"

    Wow. So lame. Both of them have moved on. @tenderjoy wild, just wondering, but when has Jen dated someone that looks even a little like brad since they divorced?

    3 words. GET OVER IT.

    that would have been interesting... love her hair that way, did my hair like that on thanksgiving and my Mom said i looked so pertty but hey, all Moms are like that...

    This is sooo dumb; not to mention childish. These people are in their 40's, have been divorced for 6 years and have both moved on. Time to grow up already. I see my ex-husband all the time; we're on very good terms and we certainly don't avoid each other. These two are very immature.

    Lame, ridiculous and an absolutely absurd story...trash trash trash magazine......Zach Johnson (writer) and US magazine...Please STFU!

    @Tanya, wow you must have access to Jennifer's brain to come up with all that secret information of really have no life to come up with that!!

  • November 27, 2011 - 5:22am Tenderjoy Wild

    Well it wouldn't have been that bad, and besides all of this avoidance of each other really means they still have feelings for one another, but who am i to say that, they,ve certainly moved on in their lives, brad a dad very busy and jennifer is always on the look for a lookalike brad, well good luck Jen!!!

    He looks awful now and the plastic surgery is not helping....Jennifer looks awesome...i hope she stays with this one...

  • November 26, 2011 - 11:23pm Tanya Wynn

    It really is dumb...its because Jennifer Aniston still hasnt gotten over it...i secretly think she's waiting for him to leave Angelina Joli that's why she hasn't married yet....she's a beautiful woman but she looks so boring to be with...if something bad happened to angelina jolie (god forbid) jennifer will be there taking care of her kids...just sayin..

  • November 26, 2011 - 8:10pm Tracy Nichol

    Talk about scraping the barrel for a story US ...seriously?

  • November 26, 2011 - 6:20pm Tamenie Eller

    This is dumb. They've both moved on. Why would it matter if they almost ran into each other? And Jen has every right to think of him as a jerk and not talk to him.

  • November 26, 2011 - 5:34pm Milagros Perez

    It is the media creating all of this drama. Every has moved on!!!

  • November 26, 2011 - 4:51pm Michelle Henderson

    Oh.My.Gosh. They A L M O S T ran into eachother!!! AHHHH!!!

  • November 26, 2011 - 4:42pm Sandra Foy

    I think the Jen and Brad talk hasn't stopped because most people want to see Jen get her happy-ever-after. Once she's married with kids we'll move on...I hope.

  • November 26, 2011 - 4:28pm Tresa Smith

    My lord, these two stopped being a story a couple years ago..

  • November 26, 2011 - 4:26pm Gina Platania-Doceti

    Oh enough already with these stupid tabloid lies. Im sure JA does not care at all about bumping into Brad. It was a long time ago, it's done, over, move on world...Brad looks washed up and dirty...just like his girlfriend. You go Jenn. Everything happens for the best in life!

  • November 26, 2011 - 4:10pm Elsa Caceres

    she has moved on...she has every right to think of him as a jerk...the comments he has made... and the funny thing is her career is better now ...Brad like women with issues

  • November 26, 2011 - 3:04pm Lisa Dailey Gregory

    Why can't we all just get over it? I don't talk to my ex either and if I never saw him again I would be happy.Jen and Brad are SOOOO over! Not on a break! lol
