However, while Brad was reportedly keen to meet up with the former Friends star, according to Heat magazine happily married Jennifer was a little more reticent.
“He called her and they had a brief conversation. But Jen, who is married to actor Justin Theroux told Brad that, while she supported him in spirit, she didn’t have time to see him,” an insider told Heat.
It’s been a turbulent time for the 52-year-old actor, as Brad was recently cleared of any wrongdoing in an investigation by the Los Angeles Department of Children and Family Services over claims he abused son Maddox in an incident that occurred on a private jet.
While Jennifer was dragged into the crossfire of her former husband’s relationship fallout, after the 47-year-old began trending on Twitter after news of Brad and Angelina’s split went public.
Brad reportedly apologised to the Horrible Bosses star by email, but it appears that after realising they were both in town he wanted to follow it up with a friendly meeting. The insider explains that Jen was unwilling to risk having dinner with her ex even though they were minutes away from each other in London.
“She is happily married and meeting Brad would be an insult to Justin. She knows what matters and it’s her marriage,” the source stated.
