Another insider spoke to Hollywood Life and explained that Angelina Jolie’s ex-husband now feels that he is in a good place after having a lovely conversation with his first wife and added: “Brad [Pitt] felt good seeing Jennifer [Aniston] again and spending time with her at her birthday party. Brad has done a lot of work on himself since being in a relationship with her, so he feels like a different guy. He also still has a lot of love for Jen, his [first] ex-wife. He hopes attending her birthday party may be the start of a new beginning in their journey together. He is trying to keep an open mind about everything.”

The person concluded by: “Brad is in a great place and wants to share his life with people he cares about and to become friends with Jen again would be a big win for him. It’s really cool that he can mend fences, and as he gets older, he wants to be in a place where everything is good, and being friends with Jen again and having that friendship again is very important to him.”

The same insider added: “Her friends were happy to see Brad at the party. Whatever caused their divorce is long in the past. He was invited, so why shouldn’t he go? He’s single and has no one to answer to. He and Jen spent many important and happy years together. He obviously decided to join her celebration because he wanted to.”

Brad is enjoying his freedom.
