Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt were rumored to have been hanging out frequently since the lockdown.

According to Closer, the exes temporarily stopped hanging out while Pitt was busy dealing with his custody battle against Angelina Jolie.

But after reports revealed that Pitt and Jolie’s relationship once again became estranged following their recent allegations against each other, Aniston, allegedly, called Pitt on the phone. And the A-listers have been talking ever since.

“Brad wasn’t sure he’d hear from Jen, so he was really touched when she called. She knows him better than most and knows how stressed and upset he’d been by the bombshell. They’ve been spending time together amid Jen’s effort to help lift his spirits and be a source of comfort when he’s admittedly feeling defeated and hopeless about Ange’s shock move,” the source said.

The insider also claimed that Aniston and Pitt’s bond is unbreakable. And even though they’ve been divorced since 2005, they have managed to stay friends. The exes also know that they will always be there for each other.

 Other than Pitt’s issues with Jolie, he’s also, allegedly, busy helping Aniston with her plans to adopt a baby. The plans have, allegedly, been in the cards for years but Pitt was unable to support Aniston because of his divorce settlement.

“It’s been very up and down with Brad and Ange and while initially, he was very active in supporting Jen on adoption, it stalled a little. But now they’ve grown closer again, they have spoken more regularly, especially around how long the process takes and the frustrations around that,” the source said.

Pitt has also been helping Aniston with the logistics aspect of her adoption plans. And this has, allegedly, served as a great distraction for the A-listers.

But shortly after the tabloid published their story on Aniston and Pitt, the latter was photographed vacationing in France with Nicole Poturalski.

According to Page Six, Pitt and Poturalski are officially dating.

“They are seeing each other, they’re enjoying a vacation together,” a source confirmed to the publication.

Pitt and Poturalski dating could only mean that the rumors that former and Aniston rekindled their romance or even their friendship is false. It is also unlikely for Aniston and Pitt to be talking regularly on the phone if he’s already dating the 27-year-old supermodel.
