Exes Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt – who were wed from 2000 until 2005 – have been spending time together this year.
And now UsWeekly is claiming that the two sometimes have that old spark back.
‘Brad and Jen have a wonderful connection that might seem flirtatious at times,’ the insider insisted. ‘They dig each other’s sense of humor and have an infectious energy when they’re together.’
Tee hee: Exes Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt have been spending time together this year. And now UsWeekly is claiming that the two sometimes have that old spark back. Seen in 2005
Now: Both Brad, left, and Jennifer, right, have stayed in the spotlight with hit projects. They also have friends in common like Laura Dern and Courteney Cox
But the source also added they are still only ‘platonic.’
Pitt attended the Friends alum’s holiday party at her Bel-Air, California, home earlier this month.
He also went to Aniston’s 50th birthday bash in February.
‘It took a while for Jen to heal and for Brad to stop feeling bad for how he left her back in 2005,’ adds the source. ‘This is something they’ve taken their time with, and they’re well aware of the hysteria around their relationship among their fans.’
Before the divorce: They were arm in arm at the 56th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards in 2004
The lines of communication are very open between them, adds the source. ‘Their bond is solid. They’ve come a really long way.’
He has been linked this year to Arrested Development star Alia Shawkat as well as Sat Hari Khalsa.
Aniston has not been with anyone since her ex-husband Justin Theroux.
Last week Brad turned 56 years old but it does not seem he was with Jennifer.
According to a report from E! News, the actor was at home with Shiloh, 13, Knox and Vivienne, 11.
Brad and Angelina also raised Maddox, 18, Pax, 16, and Zahara, 14, together.
‘Brad spent the day at his home in Hollywood….His younger kids stopped by for a visit,’ an eyewitness told the outlet, before mentioning that the children then left with their bodyguard to go ‘straight back to Angelina’s house.’
Could they fall in love again? ‘Brad and Jen have a wonderful connection that might seem flirtatious at times,’ the insider insisted. ‘They dig each other’s sense of humor and have an infectious energy when they’re together.’ Seen in 2004
Another source had previously informed E! that Pitt will ‘spend part of the holidays with the kids in LA.’
‘He will see them for his birthday and for Christmas Eve,’ the insider specified.
‘The kids will come over to Brad’s house and spend the day with him. They have some traditions where they eat and exchange gifts. They play music and just hang out.’
‘Brad always wants to make it special for them and loves to see the excitement in their eyes,’ the source continued.
His last ex: Big family: Brad and Angelina Jolie share six children — Maddox, Pax, Zahara (not pictured), Shiloh, and twins Knox and Vivienne. Seen with Maddox and Zahara in 2006
‘He tries to get them thoughtful gifts and something for them to experience. The most important thing is just being together and being a family. He’s excited to see them and have them be with him at home. That’s really the only thing he wants.’
Maddox has been estranged from his dad since 2016, after they allegedly got into an altercation on a private jet to LA, Us Weekly reported.
Although Brad was cleared of any wrongdoing, the alleged incident caused the strained relationship between father and son.
It is also the reported reason that led Angelina to file for divorce from Brad following a two year marriage and 11 years together.
Pitt and Jolie were first linked together in 2005, when they worked together on the film Mr. & Mrs. Smith, and confirmed their relationship shortly after Pitt’s divorce from Jennifer Aniston was finalized.
Brad and Angelina filed for divorce in 2016, beginning a long negotiation process with regard to assets and custody of their six children
Brad and Angelina themselves did not wed until 2014, and subsequently filed for divorce in 2016.
After tense proceedings, the pair eventually reached a custody agreement in 2018, and were declared legally single in April of this year.
Pitt, an Oscar-winning producer for the 2013 film 12 Years A Slave, is nominated this year in the Best Supporting Actor category for both Golden Globe and SAG Awards for his role in the Quentin Tarantino film Once Upon A Time… In Hollywood.
He also this year played the lead role in the sci-fi drama Ad Astra opposite Tommy Lee Jones, and has at least two other upcoming projects as an actor, including a sequel to his 2013 zombie epic World War Z.
