It's surely the recipe for an awkward night - bumping into your ex-fiance with his new love.
But that inauspicious start eventually led to a beautiful friendship for Sandra Bullock and Jennifer Aniston, who have revealed they first met when the actor Tate Donovan introduced them at a Golden Globes party in the 90s.
The pair reminisced about their time with Tate, who Sandra called 'our former boyfriend', in Aniston's profile for Interview magazine, conducted by The Blind Side star. They also chatted about their joint plans for the future, which involve a beach house, with 'laughter and kids running'.

It's a fro-man: Sandra, who told Jennifer 'you can be an a**hole but you're so charming!', queried how the Friends star manages to stay positive when life doesn't go as planned
Opening up: The full article appears in the March 2020 issue of Interview Magazine
Sandra, who told Jennifer 'you can be an a**hole but you're so charming!', queried how the Friends star manages to stay positive when life doesn't go as planned.
Digging deep, Jennifer, admitted her childhood wasn't perfect - saying she often felt 'unsafe' at home. She is the daughter of Days Of Our Lives actor father John Aniston and actress Nancy Dow.
'I think that it comes from growing up in a household that was destabilized and felt unsafe, watching adults being unkind to each other, and witnessing certain things about human behavior that made me think: "I don't want to do that. I don't want to be that. I don't want to experience this feeling I'm having in my body right now. I don't want anyone else that I ever come in contact with ever to feel that."'
And she continued wryly: 'So I guess I have my parents to thank.'
Sandra was engaged to The OC vet Tate from 1992 until 1995 (pictured in 1993) Then Jennifer was with Tate from 1995 until 1998 (pictured 1997)
The pair then looked to the future, with Jennifer saying she saw herself in a beach house.
'It's not so much what I see myself doing, but it's more like a little screenshot in my brain, where I hear the ocean, I see the ocean, I hear laughter, I see kids running, I hear ice in a glass, I smell food being cooked. That's the joyous snapshot in my head.'
