Jen and Brad

Ok so I’m a bit bored as I have a flu. Otherwise I usually do have a life..

Is anyone like me a bit protective of Jennifer Aniston and thinkng Brad doesn’t really deserve her and that I’m quite struggling to see myself forgiving someone who would do to me what Brad did to Jen??

I come from a home with devastating divorce between parents With ongoing grudges and I’m projecting a lot and wondering whether normal people forgive such things and why and how ?

I was just thinking about this today. Don't know why. Not normally invested in people I don't know! It just feels he did the ultimate betrayal to her and now it hasn't worked out for him, he's running back as he knows it's a good thing.

If he breaks her heart again I might have to write a strongly worded message to him Grin

Have I missed something? Are they back together again? I thought they were just mates.

"It's all the drama, Mick, I just love it" Grin

That shot were he grabs at her hand...

Also, there's a whole Buzzfeed article about Courtney Cox being over excited by it on social and if anyone would know it's her.

I saw the shots where he grabbed her hand but I think people are getting overexcited! But agree with OP - after what happened I'm not sure why everyone seems to think they're destined to be together.

BuzzShitbagBobbly · 29/01/2020 14:41

I think he wants it more than she does. Look how he was hanging onto her hand.

MrsTerryPratchett · 29/01/2020 14:41

He's a lazy stoner by all accounts, albeit a pretty one. She's well rid.

And the hand grab was soooo romantic comedy, rather than real life.

Winstonwolfe · 29/01/2020 14:42

I hope not. She would be a fool and she seems like a nice person. But I also can't help thinking how must Angelina be feeling watching all this and more to the point his kids. Assuming he still has partial custody, him and Angie must have some contact. And imagine Jen having to play stepmum to their kids Shock

dayswithaY · 29/01/2020 14:42

I love Jen. I have a feeling she knows exactly what she's doing, she will be ok. Brad looks way, way, more into her than she is with him. If Angelina is smashing plates and screaming into pillows after seeing those photos then that's even better. Ain't karma a bitch. Team Aniston forever.

VideographybyLouBloom · 29/01/2020 14:43

It's PR and promotion. Don't forget it's awards season. No way would they get back together.

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 29/01/2020 14:45

@Winstonwolfe

Doesn't Brad have extremely limited often supervised contact?

And I think two of the sons refuse to speak to him at all.

Is it weird that I’m absolutely not concerned about this at all.. I feel it’s unreasonable but can’t help it.

Jen had it much worse.

I don’t see why it should affect the kids much. It’s not like this is the cause of the divorce!!!

The thing is, the hand grab was in front of a bank of cameras, he knew it, a rumour he wanted to start, or a conversation with Jen he wanted to start?

Winstonwolfe · 29/01/2020 14:48

I have no idea, I think the oldest one who is an adult doesn't get on with him something about an incident on a plane... But his younger kids must surely have some contact, I think the twins are about 11. And Shiloh about 12.

illandBored · 29/01/2020 14:49

Yes the hand grab Infront of the camera and his public displays of affection (without the sensitivity chip on his shoulder) is quite telling.

Makes me more protective of Jen. I don’t know what I want other than for her to not be a hopeless romantic. She

There was a report about it on this morning, this morning, the Hollywood celeb gossip guy said Brad has an invitation to the Oscars but Jen doesn't and imagine if he took Jen as his plus one. Can you imagine!

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 29/01/2020 14:55

I read somewhere that he had the younger 4 for 3 days at Christmas, but not the oldest boys.

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 29/01/2020 14:56

Jen will be invited to the big parties though, and possibly to present?

They often have non contenders presenting

Nothing2doooooo · 29/01/2020 14:58

Have I missed something? Are they back together again?

You and me, both!Confused

Off to search engines!

I like people who think this way. Never believe what you see on telly/online/internetsssss.

sucha · 29/01/2020 15:02

I'd like them to rekindle... feel sad that he sort of took any family plans with him and had that with someone else.

Inkanta · 29/01/2020 15:06

Might not be logical but yes I would like to see them back together.

Angelina and Brad appeared to take themselves very seriously - they were quite a humourless couple. He appears more himself now - more natural and funny and I like to think he appreciates what he lost with Jen. I thought they both looked very happy at the SAG Awards, and were both winning awards and looking good!

illandBored · 29/01/2020 15:06

Yes! And pretty publically ! And without worrying about how he is coming across.

He seemed extremely selfish and she seems very selfless.

But ofcourse who knows what was behind closed doors. Just a hard fact to stomach

I love Jennifer too. Shes been so dignified through the relentless hounding about not having children

I don't understand the hysteria about those photos. It looked to me like they were saying a slightly drunken hello to each other, and nothing more
