If Angelina Jolie was rattled by the news her estranged husband Brad Pitt had spent the night partying with her former love rival Jennifer Aniston, she didn’t let it show during a night out in LA on Sunday.

The 43-year-old actress was spotted outside Italian restaurant Rao’s after enjoying a quiet two-hour dinner with friends. She flashed a smile after receiving a comforting hug from a pal as they waited near the valet.

Her outing came just one night after Pitt made a shock appearance at his first wife Aniston’s 50th birthday party on Saturday.

The 55-year-old actor – who split from the former Friends star in 2005 after five years of marriage – was spotted making a casual entrance at the Sunset Tower Hotel in Los Angeles, arriving alone in a black Escalade and quickly making his way inside, wearing a cap, in a bid to dodge photographers who were waiting outside.

Other guests at the party were said to include another of Brad’s former flames, actress Gwyneth Paltrow, as well as Jennifer’s former boyfriend John Mayer, and the singer’s ex-girlfriend Katy Perry, who arrived by motorcycle with her partner Orlando Bloom.

Brad was apparently welcomed with a warm hug by Jennifer, who chatted with her former husband, but is said to have given him no special treatment.

It was previously claimed Jennifer and Brad had got back in contact following his 2016 split from Angelina Jolie.

But throughout his 11-year relationship with Angelina, there were persistent tabloid reports that the ex couple’s continued friendship angered the actress.

Brad fell for Angelina on the 2004 set of Mr And Mrs Smith, seven months before splitting from then-wife Jennifer.

Angelina later confirmed this, saying of the movie in a New York Times interview:  ‘Not a lot of people get to see a movie where their parents fell in love. What’s going to be funny is when they think Mom and Dad are a little bit cool. Because right now, we’re not cool Mom and Dad.’

Pitt and Jolie were together for seven years before announcing their engagement in 2012, and they were married in 2014, before splitting in 2016.

During their longterm relationship, the couple had three children together and adopted three more.

Jolie cited irreconcilable differences for the split, and since then the couple has been locked in a custody battle for their five youngest children.

The couple reached a custody agreement in late November after more than two years of negotiations.

Brad’s visits with Pax, 15, and Zahara, 13, all adopted, and biological children Shiloh, 12, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 10 were said to be monitored as part of the agreement. At 17, Maddox is allowed to make his own mind up over whether to visit his father.

Pitt has most recently been linked to actress Charlize Theron, who have reportedly been dating for a month.

As for Cake actress Jennifer – who split from Justin Theroux last February after two years of marriage – recently insisted she still regards her relationships with both Brad and the ‘Leftovers’ actor as ‘successful’.

She said: ‘I don’t feel a void. I really don’t.

‘My marriages, they’ve been very successful, in personal opinion. And when they came to an end, it was a choice that was made because we chose to be happy, and sometimes happiness doesn’t exist within that arrangement anymore.

‘Sure, there were bumps, and not every moment felt fantastic, obviously, but at the end of it, this is our one life and I would not stay in a situation out of fear. Fear of being alone. Fear of not being able to survive. To stay in a marriage based on fear feels like you’re doing your one life a disservice.

‘When the work has been put in and it doesn’t seem that there’s an option of it working, that’s OK. That’s not a failure. We have these clichés around all of this that need to be reworked and retooled, you know? Because it’s very narrow-minded thinking.’
