Jennifer Aniston is allegedly trying to build a relationship with her half-siblings following the death of her dad, John Aniston.

In its Dec. 19 issue, Globe claimed that Aniston is struggling to come to terms with the fact that she’s now an orphan. But she also knows that she has some family members who are still alive and that she could reconnect.

“Alex and John have two children each. But she seldom sees them. Now that she’s lost both parents, she’s eager to try and work on having a relationship with her siblings and their families,” the source said.

The source added that Aniston seemingly extended an olive branch to Alex following the death of their dad.

“Their dad served in the Army during the Korean War so when the honor guard presented his folded American flag to her, she gestured it should go to Alex. Alex was deeply moved by Jen’s generous gesture. He smiled and nodded to her, indicating his gratitude,” the source said.

And even though Aniston had a complicated family life growing up, she decided to reconcile with her dad during the COVID-19 pandemic. So, she had at least two years to bond with John before he took his last breath.

John also had a complicated relationship with Alex. But in the last few months of the former’s life, the two also sorted their issues out.

“But in the last few months, the actor reached out to his only son, and Alex felt happy to receive this token of his father’s life,” the source said.

Even though it’s true that Aniston is now an orphan, no one knows for sure how she’s repairing her relationship with her brother. And there’s also no indication that she and Alex have agreed on t bury the hatchet.

It is possible that the tabloid just made this assumption now that Aniston no longer has her parents around to take care of her and protect her from all the gossip.

Meanwhile, the Friends star also made headlines recently amid claims that Aniston turned to her good friend, Sandra Bullock for support and comfort following the passing of her dad.

Bullock allegedly met with Aniston in person and she helped the actress process her grief. The A-listers are allegedly thinking of future projects that they could star in together.
