BRAD & JEN LIVING TOGETHER AGAIN!
The loved-up couple are moving back into their former home
Their romance has been going on in the shadows since Brad Pitt attended Jennifer Aniston’s 50th birthday in February last year.
Occasionally, he would be seen sneaking into her Bel Air mansion as the guest of honour to her exclusive soirees.
There were whispers of the pair meeting up at studio lots, where movie insiders have accepted the former married couple – whose union fell apart when he dumped her for Angelina Jolie in 2005 – are very much back together.
Now, sources say Brad, 56, and Jen, 51, are preparing to ditch the cloak and dagger act after 18 months of quietly dating, in the most public way possible.
The pair were among the first to sign on for a Fast Times At Ridgemont High table read last week, meaning it will be the first time they’ve co-starred since Jen’s then-hubby guest starred on Friends in 2001.
Insiders say it’s all part of their “coming out as a couple” strategy.
“Jen and Brad were so excited to be working together again,” says a source connected to the Fast Times production.
“They’re giddy with happiness when they’re in conversation with one another.”
HAPPY HOUSE
But that’s not the biggest statement the couple are about to make. Recently, their marital home in Beverly Hills – which they sold post-divorce in 2006
– hit the market again, and sources say Jen saw it as fate.
“She felt it couldn’t have been a coincidence that the place was listed so soon after she and Brad got back on track,” says an insider.
“That house, before things went south between them, was filled with happy memories. A lot of water has gone under the bridge since then, so this is the perfect opportunity for them to take two.”
Last week, the incredible 13-bedroom, French revivalstyle property, which boasts a tennis court, pool, theatre and bar, was quietly sold
– and the Los Angeles real estate industry is alight with talk that Jen was the buyer.
A friend says, “Jen and Brad have really kept their secret relationship going strong during lockdown, so it wouldn’t surprise me if she pulled off a grand gesture – like buying their old home back – in honour of that.
“When she’s really happy, money is no object. And I’ve never seen her happier or more at peace.
“If she’s done something as grand as this, then there’s no doubt they’re back in love and ready to shout it from the rooftops.
“Awards season is rapidly approaching so the rumour is they’ll be going officially public then. But in the meantime, I just wish I could be there to see Brad’s face the moment Jen hands him the keys!”
