Jen's concerns for 'frail' Brad

Brad Pitt has been looking like a shadow of his former self in recent weeks, and we’re not the only ones who have noticed.

His ex-wife Jennifer Aniston, 48, is concerned about his gaunt appearance and has reached out to him to offer her support, according to reports in Woman’s Day.

“[Jen’s] been rallying round, ensuring he has people checking on him daily,” a source told the publication.

“[She’s] sending chefs nutritionists and trainers to the house in addition to her yoga instructor, therapist and life coach, to help him get back on track and take care of him physically and mentally.”

Though the 53-year-old famously left Jen for Angelina Jolie in 2005, the exes have built bridges following Brangelina’s split late last year.

“She says after everything they’ve been through…she feels extremely protective of Brad and she feels a duty to support him,” the source continued.

While the magazine reports that Brad’s health issues are “unknown”, the insider adds that “Jen will drop everything to be by Brad’s side right now.”

The source claims that Jennifer’s husband Justin Theroux, 45, “felt apprehensive” at first, but eventually gave his blessing because he knows what a “loyal friend” she is.

The claims from Woman’s Day come after Be reported that the exes had been in contact, as Jen struggled with grief after losing her mother Nancy last year.

A well-placed insider confirmed to Be that Brad and Jennifer "remain friends".
