JENNIFER Aniston has been pictured for the first time since the news broke that her ex-husband Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are to divorce.

The 47-year-old actress was spotted in New York last night as she arrived at her apartment with her bodyguard.

Although she remained silent as photographers asked her how she felt about Brad divorcing the woman he got together with after they split in 2005, she did have a cheeky smirk on her face and her huge sparkly wedding ring clearly on display for the awaiting cameras.

Jen, who has been happily married to Justin Theroux since last year, looked laid back in a pair of ripped jeans, a white T-shirt, and black jacket. She accessorised with a large brown hat and wore a simple pair of white trainers.

While Jen may have chosen not to comment on the furore surrounding Brad and Angelina’s divorce, her best friend Chelsea Handler, certainly had a lot to say on the matter, and branded Angelina a “f***ing lunatic.”

Speaking on her Netflix show on Wednesday, the US comedienne didn’t hold back when she revealed her feelings on the marriage breakdown.

“Brad and Angelina always said they wouldn’t get married until everyone could get married and I always said I wouldn’t get married until they got divorce,” joked Chelsea.

“There are rumours that part of the problems were that Brad was allegedly drinking and smoking too much weed… I wonder why he needed to self-medicate? Maybe because he could’ve been at Lake Como hanging out with George Clooney and Matt Damon, instead of being stuck in a house with 85 kids, speaking 15 different languages… Oh yeah because he married a f***ing lunatic, that’s why.”

She concluded: “But we should all respect their privacy during this very difficult time, so this will be the last time I speak of this… On TV.”
