Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston are reportedly "closer than ever" as the 56-year-old actor goes through a divorce from Angelina Jolie. Allegedly, the 51-year-old has been helping her former husband get through his recent separation.

Pitt and Jolie's divorce is once again in the headlines. Jolie wants to remove a judge from their case. As they go head-to-head Aniston is reportedly said to be more than willing to reach out to her ex to give him some "self-care tips," Mirror Online said.

A source revealed the Once Upon a Time in Hollywood star was surprised and touched when his ex-wife called him. She was reported to say she knew him "better than most" and Pitt has started to use her "mindful technique recommendation."

According to the Friends star, this method would help Pitt through his separation from Jolie. They split in 2016. She also recommended Pilates, yoga and daily meditation to stave off anxiety and stress.

The source said Aniston also proposed taking "extended technology breaks." The Morning Show star's alleged "self-care sessions" had benefited Pitt. Hence, the alleged kindness and love Aniston has been showing to Pitt has only further cemented his "love and adoration" for her.

Pitt and Aniston have been apart for about 15 years but fans remain hopeful they will rekindle their romance. The Sun said their followers went into a frenzy when they shared an embrace at the backstage of the 2020 SAG Awards.

The two bumped into each other at the Golden Globes and Aniston was even seen clapping and smiling when Pitt delivered his acceptance speech. Rumors about their relationship escalated.

Things even heated up when they were seated near each other along with Reese Witherspoon and Leonardo DiCaprio. They went to Golden Globe after parties - although separately.

Pitt and Aniston appear to have grown closer over the past two years. Since his split with Jolie in 2016 they have been spotted together several times.

In February 2019 Pitt reportedly bought a gift for Aniston's 50th birthday. They were also seen exchanging hugs and talking at her 50th birthday party at Sunset Tower Hotel in Los Angeles. He attended her annual Christmas-tree trimming party in December.

Pitt and Aniston became a sensation when they started a romance in 1998. They tied the knot in Malibu in 2000 - becoming an "iconic couple" for their generation. However, they surprised everyone when they announced their split in 2005 and finalized their divorce the same year.
