Brad Pitt Still in Love With Jennifer Aniston  5/12/05

Brad Pitt is still in love with estranged wife Jennifer Aniston because he respects the way she's dealing with their divorce.

The movie star opened his breaking heart to men's magazine GQ just days after Aniston filed for divorce in March (05).

In the interview, Pitt says of the break-up, "It's so complex and multifaceted.

"We've done it our way and I love her for that. We've kept the love we have for each other."

The movie hunk refused to confirm or deny a romance with Mr. & Mrs. Smith co-star Angelina Jolie, but he was optimistic about his divorce and philosophical about the break-up of his marriage.

He adds, "The thing that I don't understand is looking at this as a failure.

It's talked about like it failed, I guess because it wasn't flawless.

"I embrace the messiness of life. I find it so beautiful, actually. The idea that marriage has to be for all time, that I don't understand."

The actor also admits he wanted to "punch" out the "lights" of journalists who wrote "cruel" things about the split couple just to "get a rise out of her (Aniston)".
