Jen 'leans on Brad' for support

Earlier this month reports emerged that Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston had reconnected, and it seems the exes are still very much in touch.

In fact, 48-year-old Jen has apparently contacted 53-year-old Brad, "looking to him for guidance and advice" as she continues to deal with the loss of her mother Nancy, who passed away last May.

"Brad knows the history of Jen’s complicated relationship with Nancy and doesn’t judge her for the feelings she’s having," a source tells In Touch Weekly.

"Jennifer is so grateful to have him back in her life."

Furthermore, a well-placed source confirms to Be that Brad and Jen indeed “remain friends”.

Earlier this month it was reported that Brad had reconnected with his ex, whom he divorced from in 2005.

Following his split from wife Angelina Jolie, the actor managed to track down his ex’s mobile phone number through mutual friends, and dropped her a message to wish her happy 48th birthday on February 11, an insider told US Weekly.

“They started talking once he wished her a happy birthday,” the source said, claiming that he’d since “confided” in Jen.

“Brad told her he’s having a hard time with his split and they exchanged a few texts reminiscing about the past.”

The Fight Club star has been embroiled in a bitter custody battle with Angelina, 41, over their six kids, Maddox, 15, Pax, 13, Zahara, 12, Shiloh, 10, and eight-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne.

Ange filed for divorce after just two years of marriage following a blow-up fight aboard the family private jet in September.

Brad, 52, was subsequently cleared of child abuse allegations relating to the incident.
