Brad Pitt has turned to his former wife Jennifer Aniston as his relationship with Angelina Jolie sours.
“Brad needed to talk to someone who knows him, who understands him, and who understands what he wants out of life,” says a source close to the couple.
“Brad and Jen were always best friends first and lovers second. Even when they decided to separate they took a romantic holiday together. So it makes sense that he would reach out to Jen while he’s so low.”
While Brad, 43, had only intended to pour his heart out to Jen, insiders say it wasn’t long before the couple were reminiscing about old times and how much they miss one another — even ending up in a passionate embrace.
As their intimate conversation came to an end, Brad made a startling confession, telling Jen, “I think I made a huge mistake leaving you.”
