JEN’S PAIN: SELENA SIDES WITH JUSTIN!

Selena Gomez is so close to Jennifer Aniston she’s described the actress as “maternal” – which is why friends are stunned she’s sided with Justin Theroux amid his messy split from his wife.

The 25-year-old singer was seen enthusiastically throwing her arms around Justin in New York last week, and sources say the pictures were like a knife to the 49-year-old’s heart.

“Jen has welcomed Selena into her home like a member of her family. She’s spent hours on coaching her – it felt like Selena was her little sister,” says a source. “Jen couldn’t believe Selena was still so cosy with Justin, despite everything he’s put her through.”

The two became friends after meeting through their mutual manager about three years ago.

“Instantly she, like, invited me to her house,” Selena said of Jen in 2015. “She has a pizza oven. Like, we’ve made pizzas at her house. She’s very cool and very sweet and gives me a lot of maternal advice.”

But the source now says, “Jen can’t help but wonder whether Selena was closer to Justin than she let on. Otherwise, why would she so blatantly go against the girl code and secretly remain friends with him? It just doesn’t make sense to Jen.”
