Jennifer Aniston ‘backs off’ friendship with ex Brad Pitt as he romances ‘new lover’

Jennifer Aniston is said to have “backed off” her friendship with ex-husband Brad Pitt after getting “bad feelings” amid reports the Fight Club actor has a new girlfriend.

Jennifer Aniston, 53, and Brad Pitt, 59, have confirmed they are “buddies” now despite having one of the most highly-publicised divorces of the noughties. The pair’s new friendship, however, could be compromised as the Friends star reportedly “backed off” after her ex-husband recently got a new romantic partner.

According to a source, Jennifer has been having “bad feelings” as it has been reported Brad is in a new relationship with jewellery designer Ines de Ramon, 30.

The insider told People the former couple had been “really friendly” of late, but Brad’s relationship had reportedly made Jen “back off”.

Express.co.uk has reached out to representatives for Jennifer Aniston for comment.

Jennifer and Brad were married for five years before they split and he began dating his now ex-wife, Angelina Jolie, 46.

In May last year, Jennifer opened up about her split from ex-husband Brad, 58, during the finale of Ellen DeGeneres’ talk show.

The Rachel Green actress returned to The Ellen Show 19 years after appearing on its very first episode in 2003.

Jennifer was Ellen’s first ever guest, and it was clear that the host, 64, was emotional to see her back on the sofa for one last chat.

During their talk, Jennifer made a rare reference to her divorce from ex Brad, as the pair reminisced about their first interview nearly two decades ago.

Sitting down with Ellen after the pair exchanged a hug, the Office Space star asked: “Where does 19 years go? I don’t understand.”

Reflecting on The Ellen Show’s debut, the presenter asked: “What do you remember? I remember vividly you being on the first show.

She continued: “I want to talk about the ending of Friends – what did you do to deal with that?”

Speaking candidly, Jennifer replied: “Well, I got a divorce and went into therapy.”
