Jennifer Aniston is reportedly supportive of Brad Pitt after the actor revealed that he has returned to drinking following seven years of sobriety.
Pitt recently discussed his changing relationship with alcohol in an interview with Esquire, explaining that he now approaches drinking with greater restraint. His comments attracted considerable attention because of his well-known history with Aniston, whom he married in 2000 before their divorce in 2005.
According to a source cited by Rob Shuter, however, Aniston is not judging her former husband over his decision.
Jennifer Aniston reportedly wants Brad Pitt to be happy
The source claimed that Aniston continues to wish Pitt well and believes he should be able to make his own decisions.
“Jennifer will always root for Brad,” the source said, adding that if Pitt wants to enjoy a glass of wine with friends, Aniston reportedly feels he should be able to do so.
The source also claimed that there is no lingering tension between the former couple.
“Jen would happily have a drink with Brad,” the insider said, according to the report. “There is no drama there. She wants him to be happy.”
However, the comments come from an unnamed source and have not been independently confirmed by either Aniston or Pitt.
Brad Pitt’s sobriety journey
Pitt’s relationship with alcohol has received significant public attention over the years, particularly following the end of his marriage to Angelina Jolie and the legal disputes that followed.
The actor has previously spoken publicly about giving up alcohol and the personal changes that followed.
After spending seven years without drinking, Pitt has now indicated that his approach has changed. Rather than describing the decision as a return to his previous lifestyle, he has reportedly emphasised moderation and greater awareness.

The development has prompted renewed discussion about the actor’s personal life, although Pitt appears to want to frame the decision on his own terms.
Pitt wants to tell his own story
According to the source, Pitt would prefer to discuss his personal choices himself rather than allow photographs or speculation to define the story.
“He would rather tell his own story than be photographed having a glass of wine with friends and let everyone else tell it for him,” the source said.
The actor has faced intense public scrutiny for much of his career, particularly surrounding his relationships and family life.
Aniston, meanwhile, has largely moved on from the highly publicised chapter of her life involving Pitt. The pair divorced more than two decades ago and have continued with their separate careers.
If the latest reports are accurate, Aniston’s reported reaction is less about Pitt’s past and more about allowing him to make his own choices.
For now, neither Aniston nor Pitt has publicly confirmed the claims about Aniston’s personal reaction, leaving the reported comments as the account of an unnamed source.
