Are Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston back together?

The Sun’s Dan Wootton exclusively revealed in April, 2019 that Angelia wanted to give her marriage with Brad another shot.

She was reportedly prolonging the divorce negotiations in hopes of rekindling their romance, which lasted 11 years.

However, sources claimed Brad turned down the chance to reconcile with the award-winning actress.

An insider told The Sun: “Angelina is making it horrendous for him and drawing out the process, but it’s not going to make him consider going back.

“He just wants it all settled — in reality, this could have been over a year ago — but she won’t let go.”

Why did Brad Pitt and Angelia Jolie split?

Hollywood’s former sweethearts confirmed their separation in September 2016, with the pair releasing a joint statement stating they agree to settle their divorce in private.

The announcement came after Brad had allegedly lost control of his plane and clashed with son Maddox, 17.

Angelina spoke about their split for the first time in February 2017, with her saying: “We will get through this time and hopefully be a stronger family for it.”

The actress requested sole custody of their children in 2016 but in April 2018 The Sun reported that Angelina had given Brad access to their six children.

How many kids does Brad Pitt have?

Angelia shares six children with her ex Brad, with some of the youngster being adopted by the couple from outside the United States of America.

The pair are parents to Maddox, 17, Pax, 15, Zahara, 14, Shiloh, 13, and twins Vivienne and Knox, 10.

Maddox, Zahara and Pax were adopted from orphanages in Cambodia, Ethiopia and Vietnam, respectively.

The remaining three children – Shiloh, Viviene and Knox – are their biological children.

What are Brad's biggest movie roles?

After moving to LA, Brad spent a few years landing small parts in TV shows and indie movies and some of his early roles included appearances on Dallas and 21 Jump Street.

However, his luck changed when he garnered widespread recognition for his roles in Ridley Scott's 1991 smash hit Thelma & Louise and Robert Redford's A River Runs Through It in 1992.

His breakout year was 1994 thanks to his role as vampire Louis de Pointe du Lac in horror film Interview With A Vampire, which also starred Tom Cruise, Kirsten Dunst and Christian Slater.

The Hollywood actor would then go on to star in cult classics Seven, Legends Of The Fall, and 12 Monkeys - which earned him his first Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor.

Brad's next big hit was now cult classic Fight Club and he followed that up by playing an Irish traveller in Guy Ritchie's gangster film Snatch.

His next box office smash hit was the 2001 remake of Ocean's Eleven which also starred Julia Roberts, Matt Damon and his close pal George Clooney.

In what was possibly one of his most memorable roles due to the tabloid gossip that surrounded it, Pitt starred opposite Angelina Jolie in Mr & Mrs Smith, where a married couple discover they are professional assassins and have been hired to kill one another.

Other notable roles include The Departed, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Inglorious Basterds and World War Z.

In 2018, Neri denied a relationship with Brad, however, a source told Page Six there was definitely potential there.

They said: "Brad and Neri instantly hit it off because they share the same passion for architecture, design and art. This is best described as a professional friendship.'

Neri was previously married to Grammy Award-winning composer Osvaldo Golijov. Her work has been exhibited around the world and she has given numerous talks on the marriage of design, technology and biology.
