In the months before her separation from Justin Theroux, Jennifer Aniston reportedly found comfort from an unlikely source – her ex, Brad Pitt!

Jennifer and Justin kept their split out of the public eye for a few months before making their big announcement earlier this month, but her ex knew all about what was going on, according to a new report. “Jen and Brad remained close since their 2005 split, but she has leaned on him more over the past 15 months,” an insider reveals the details. However, HollywoodLife has exclusively learned that the story is “another fabrication.” Still, ever since Jen and Justin announced their separation, fans have been shipping a reconciliation between her and Brad, who is single, too, after splitting from Angelina Jolie in September 2016.
