Exclusive: Brad Pitt won't be attending the Oscars with Jen Aniston

The Academy Awards would be the perfect opportunity to go public with a 'reunion', but unfortunately Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston have separate Oscars plans.

'Brad has nothing to do with Jennifer Aniston and her Oscars plans,' a well-placed source close to Pitt has revealed to Be, leaving fans who were expecting a red carpet shot of the pair very disappointed.

• Brad Pitt and Jen Aniston are 'engaged'

• This Jen and Ange photo is not all as it seems

This comes after reports the pair were going to spend the Academy Awards evening together, after Jen recently confirmed her split from husband of two years, Justin Theroux.

"So they're talking about skipping the red carpet and the ceremony in favour of one of the parties," a source NW magazine last week.

"They'll be able to hang out with all their old friends out of the spotlight," the source continued.

However, there may be one snag to their 'low-key' plans, and that's Brad's soon-to-be ex-wife Angelina Jolie.

Last month, the Friends star announced her split from husband Justin.

Stephen Huvane, Jen's publicist, issued a statement announcing the couple's decision to separate 'was mutual and lovingly made at the end of last year.'

The pair — who became engaged in 2012 and married in August 2015 — insisted they were still 'two best friends who have decided to part ways as a couple, but look forward to continuing our cherished friendship.'

"Above all, we are determined to maintain the deep respect and love that we have for one another," they added.

Brad, 54, and, Jen, 49, split back in 2005 after five years of marriage.

The World War Z actor moved on with Angelina after he met her on the set of Mr and Mrs Smith but after 11 years together, two of which they were married, Brange announced they were separating in 2016.

They have six children together: Maddox, 16, Pax, 14, Zahara, 13, Shiloh, 11 and nine-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne.

Brad is currently in the midst of divorce proceedings from Angelina.
