Jennifer Aniston is reportedly keen to work with ex-husband Brad Pitt to help boost her career and renew their friendship - but Angelina Jolie is not too happy about the former husband and wife working together.

An apparent inside source told Life & Style Weekly: “Jen has let word filter back to Brad that she’s willing to work with him. With the hurt of being dumped for Angie subsiding she sees it as a way to both boost her career and be close to the man who - deep down - she will always love.”

Jennifer was reportedly inspired to try to make amends after another of Brad’s exes, Gwyneth Paltrow told Jennifer how much she enjoyed working with Brad.

But the source added that Angelina doesn’t want Brad befriending his ex-wife again any time soon: “Angie forbade Brad from talking to Jen or having any contact with her.”

A spokesperson for Jennifer refused to comment on the story other than saying that Jennifer had no particular plans to work with Brad.
