Brad Pitt Says He Has Started Drinking Again After Seven Years
Brad Pitt has reportedly received support from his former wife Jennifer Aniston after revealing a major change in his approach to alcohol.
The Hollywood actor recently disclosed that he has started drinking again after spending seven years without alcohol.
Speaking to Esquire, Pitt explained that he now approaches drinking with greater restraint and moderation.
His comments quickly attracted attention because of his well-documented sobriety journey and his high-profile personal life.
The revelation has also renewed interest in his relationship with Jennifer Aniston, whom he divorced more than two decades ago.
However, reports suggest Aniston is not critical of Pitt’s decision and continues to wish him well.
Jennifer Aniston Reportedly Wants Pitt to Be Happy
A source cited by entertainment writer Rob Shutter claimed Aniston continues to support Pitt despite the history between them.
According to the insider, Aniston believes Pitt should be free to spend time with friends and enjoy a glass of wine if he feels comfortable doing so.
The source said Aniston will continue to support her former husband and does not view his personal choices negatively.
The former couple married in 2000 and divorced in 2005. Their separation became one of Hollywood’s most widely discussed celebrity breakups.
Despite the intense media attention surrounding their divorce, reports in recent years have suggested that much of the tension between them has faded.
The insider claimed there is currently no major conflict between the former couple.
Aniston is reportedly focused on Pitt’s happiness rather than revisiting events from their past.
The source even suggested that Aniston would have no problem sharing a drink with Pitt socially.
Pitt Reportedly Wants Control Over His Own Story
Pitt’s relationship with alcohol has been closely followed by the public, particularly following his separation from Angelina Jolie.
His marriage to Jolie and the lengthy legal disputes that followed their breakup kept Pitt’s personal life under intense public scrutiny for years.
According to the source, people close to the actor believe he should now be allowed to make personal decisions without every choice becoming the subject of criticism.
The insider acknowledged that Pitt’s divorce from Aniston had been painful but said the actor has faced years of additional public and legal battles since then.
Those close to Pitt reportedly believe he deserves an opportunity to move forward with his life.
His decision to speak openly about drinking again may also have been an attempt to control the public narrative surrounding the issue.
According to the source, Pitt would prefer to explain the situation himself rather than risk being photographed drinking and allowing speculation to spread.
By discussing the subject publicly, the actor appears to be presenting his decision as a deliberate lifestyle choice rather than something he wants to hide.
Aniston’s reported reaction also suggests that their past relationship is no longer defined by bitterness or public drama.
More than 20 years after their divorce, both stars appear to have moved forward with their separate lives.
For Pitt, the latest development represents another change in a personal journey that has remained under public attention for years.
For Aniston, according to the report, the focus remains simple: she wants her former husband to be happy and does not intend to judge his decisions.
