Jennifer Aniston’s rep has made a statement about her relationship with her former flame Brad Pitt.

The internet was awash with speculation that she and Brad would rekindle their romance now that she is divorcing her husband of two-and-a-half years, Justin Theroux.

“Whatever else is printed about us that is not directly from us, is someone else’s fictional narrative,” the statement released by Jennifer’s publicist read.

Jennifer married Justin at their Bel-Air home in August 2015, but ended their relationship last year. Releasing a statement via a publicist, they said their decision was “mutual and lovingly made at the end of last year”.

They added that they wanted to counter rumour and speculation and to “convey the truth directly”.

The statement furthermore reads: “We are two best friends who have decided to part ways as a couple, but look forward to continuing our cherished friendship.”
