Brad Pitt is seeing red!
Friendly exes Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux have been chummier than usual. On December 7, the actor, 50, shared a photo of the Morning Show star, 52, sitting on his lap following the Facts of Life taping — and a source says it’s not sitting well with her first hubby!
“It’s hard for Brad to see Jen getting so cozy with Justin,” spills the source. “The possibility that Jen’s tighter with Justin stings him, for sure.” (Aniston's rep denies there’s any tension between the trio.)
According to the source, knowing the pair are still close has been a sore spot for the Once Upon A Time In Hollywood actor, 57, who “takes immense pride in the tight relationship” he’s built with the Friends alum. The source also spills that Pitt “found it kind of lame” that Theroux chose to post the photo in the first place.

Still, while the source says Aniston “finds it sweet” that the Fight Club star is low-key jealous, she’s happy to show the world that she and Theroux are “the best of friends, still.”
As OK! previously reported, the We're The Millers actress consistently refuses to hide her affection for her high profile ex-hubby. Back in August, the 52-year-old took to Instagram to celebrate The Leftovers actor's 50th birthday.
The Just Go With It star posted a pic of Theroux in a suit captioned: "HAPPY BIRTHDAY JT," followed by a sexy shirtless snapshot of the Washington D.C. born actor with the words: “Truly one of a kind” and “LOVE YOU!"
In April, Aniston also dished to Esquire that they have "remained friends" despite their split: "We don't talk every day, but we call each other. We FaceTime. We text. Like it or not, we didn't have that dramatic split, and we love each other. I'm sincere when I say that I cherish our friendship. We can not be together and still bring each other joy and friendship."
