I still love Brad, confesses lonely Jen as she spills beans on split

JENNIFER ANISTON has confessed she still loves Brad Pitt and was “shocked” and “hurt” to see pictures of him with new love Angelina Jolie.

“Am I lonely? Yes,” she told Vanity Fair magazine. “Am I upset? Yes. Am I confused? Yes. Do I have my days when I’ve thrown a little pity party for myself? Absolutely. But I’m also doing really well.”

The 36-year-old talks openly about her pain over the split for the first time and shed tears when confronted with the possibility that Pitt and his Mr and Mrs Smith co-star might start their own family.

“I’d be a robot if I said I didn’t feel moments of anger, of hurt, of embarrassment,” she said.

Aniston admits that when pictures surfaced of the couple on holiday together with Jolie’s young son, Maddox, it was “not one of the highlights” of her year.

It only got worse when the two posed as man and wife for a magazine spread, a decision Aniston described as “odd timing”.

“There’s a sensitivity chip that’s missing (from Pitt),” she said. “But it’s not my life. He makes his choices... We’re (soon to be) divorced and you can see why.”

Although the estranged pair no longer talk, Aniston said she had chosen to believe Pitt, 41, when he said he did not sleep with Jolie before their marriage fell apart in January.

“I just don’t know what happened,” she said. “There’s a lot I don’t understand, a lot I don’t know, and probably never will know, really.”

Her best friend and Friends co-star, Courtney Cox, joined in to reveal that although there was no affair, “there was a connection” between Jolie and Pitt, “and he was honest about that with Jen”.

Aniston said the rumours the couple had split because she did not want children had made her fume. “I’ve never in my life said I didn’t want to have children,” she said. “I did, and I do, and I will.”

Despite her pain, Aniston cannot switch off her feelings. “I love Brad,” she said. “I will love him for the rest of my life.”
