Aniston was believed to be furious at Jolie since Brad Pitt left her and married the Tomb Raider actress, with rumours and gossip surrounding the trio since the split.

Now sources have suggested that for the first time the ice is thawing. A friend of Jolie told The Mail on Sunday: "Angelina has had several conversations with Jennifer.

"Jennifer is still close to Brad's parents and Angelina has accepted she is part of Brad's past in the same way her ex-husband, Jonny Lee Miller, is part of hers. She has no problem with Brad speaking to his ex.

"On occasions when Jennifer has called Brad, Angelina has answered his phone. From what I hear, she is friendly. While neither is going to pour out their hearts to the other, they are perfectly civil."
