Jen and Brad CLOSER THAN EVER?

They may have split back in 2005, but it seems Brad Pitt has been leaning on ex-wife Jennifer Aniston during his legal battles with Angelina Jolie

They were once the golden couple of Hollywood; she was the girl next door who was in the biggest sitcom on the planet, while he was the all- American movie star that the box office couldn’t get enough of. But of course, we all know that Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston’s five-year marriage came crashing down in 2005, breaking the hearts of millions of adoring fans.

When Brad, now 58, moved on suspiciously quickly with Angelina Jolie, for a while it was ‘team Jen’ versus ‘team Angelina’, but as the years went by and ‘Brangelina’ kept adding to their brood, it seemed that Brad had really found his happy ending. That is, until they officially came to an end in 2016, when the pair announced a shock split and filed for divorce.

In contrast to his break-up from Jen, where the pair managed to maintain a dignified silence and keep things amicable, the same can’t be said for Brad’s split from film-maker Angelina, now 47. Six years on, the couple are still battling over their assets, as well as their six children.

Soon after they went their separate ways, the FBI was called to look into accusations that Brad became ‘physical’ with son Maddox while on a private plane, but no charges were filed. It was revealed recently that Angelina has since filed an anonymous lawsuit requesting that the FBI hand over documents relating to the investigation.
