THEY’RE BACK ON!

The exes get very cosy in the city of romance

When Brad Pitt stepped out on the red carpet at the Venice Film Festival last week, he couldn’t have looked happier. Now Woman’s Day can reveal the reason behind his smile – he and Jennifer Aniston have rekindled their relationship and are ready to go public with their newfound love for each other.

“The festival was buzzing with reports of them being spotted together, from boat trips to dinners and hotel sightings, too,” a source spills. “It felt like their way of saying, ‘We don’t care who knows about us any more.’ They’re happy and done with hiding.”

As Woman’s Day previously reported, the pair reconnected when Brad, 55, attended Jennifer’s 50th birthday party

earlier this year. The couple have been spending time together at Brad’s secret beach hideaway near Santa Barbara ever since.

But it seems they’re bidding farewell to their clandestine rendezvous by making a grand Italian statement.

OUT IN THE OPEN

“They may not have been photographed together, but flying into an event so heavily populated by other celebrities is saying something,” says the insider. “Jen wouldn’t have wanted to eclipse Brad’s promotion of his new film

Ad Astra or take the limelight away from his co-stars, so walking the red carpet with Brad was out of the question. But she made her debut as his partner as she cheered him on in the crowd.”

Her presence might explain the fact Brad could barely wipe the smile off his face either. “He’s in such a great place and she’s got a lot to do with that,” says the insider. “Brad’s healthy, happy and it shows. It feels like it’s been a long time coming.”

His bitter divorce from Angelina Jolie, not to mention custody battle over their kids and new sober lifestyle hasn’t been easy.

“Despite everything they’ve been through, being back with Jen is uncomplicated,” says the source of the couple who broke up after he left her for Angelina, 44.

“They’re both different people now and it’s like a fresh, new romance.”
