Brad Pitt And Jennifer Aniston Get “Flirtatious” At Times

Full-Circle-Moment time! Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt, whose break-up filled a celebrity gossip cycle for eons and gave birth to the Sad Lonely Aniston-archetype–may be “flirting” with each other. Us Weekly has some sources who are using some keywords suggesting Brad and Jen are maybe stepping things up to a flirtatious level. This was a sort of slow-burn story, but I mean the writing was on the wall that we were leading up to here.

After his break up with Angelina Jolie, Brad and Jenn apparently started talking again. Then he was seen at her 50th birthday party. Which quickly turned into them being friends again. And then Brad was talking about his regrets pertaining to how he handled dumping Jennifer for Angie. And then the cherry on top was Jennifer getting single her damn self when her and Justin Theroux broke up. The stars aligned and they path was cleared: this story of Brad and Jen getting back together could be woven in the world of public gossip. Last we saw Brad and Jennifer, he was at her Christmas party. And now sources are telling Us that Brad is getting a lil flirty with his ex.

“Brad and Jen have a wonderful connection that might seem flirtatious at times. They dig each other’s sense of humor and have an infectious energy when they’re together, but they insist things are purely platonic and nothing more than that.”

Purely platonic, which is why the source is mentioning the “flirtatious at times”. Listen, we know what you’re doing. Sorry to Alia Shawkat who is just not enough of a tabloid-seller to keep up with Brad’s exes in the headlines. I mean, it’s steep competition girl.

The source continues by saying Jen had to “heal” from the break up:

“It took a while for Jen to heal and for Brad to stop feeling bad for how he left her back in 2005. This is something they’ve taken their time with, and they’re well aware of the hysteria around their relationship among their fans… Their bond is solid. They’ve come a really long way.”

I think it will be about a week before we get the “Jennifer: Lonely No More!” and “Jennifer FINALLY Finds Happiness!” headlines. First the celebrity machine makes money off of these two breaking up and now it’s time to start making money by gossiping about them potentially getting back together fifteen years later. You think Hollywood only does remakes of their movies? Nah sis, they remake the gossip too.
