Jennifer Aniston Hires ‘Confidence Coach’ To Help Her Face Brad Pitt And Angelina Jolie

Jennifer Aniston is reportedly more than a bit scared when it comes to facing her ex, Brad Britt, and his current partner, Angelina Jolie.

So much so, that, according to reports, she hired a “confidence coach” to assist her, so when she faces the celebrity couple, she will be well prepared.

As it happens, the Friends star has apparently avoided Pitt at all costs over the last few years, but knows that she will have to face him (and “her”) at mutual friend George Clooney’s upcoming wedding.

A source revealed to BANG Showbiz News that Jennifer Aniston, being no stranger to the world of therapy, is seeking help for the upcoming encounter:

“Jen’s no stranger to therapy, so she decided to seek some help. At the wedding, she’ll have Justin there for support, but the thought of seeing Brad and Angelina is quite overwhelming. The therapist has been helping to build her confidence and eliminate the fear she seems to have built about coming face-to-face with them. She has also been having hypnotherapy.”

Yet another source spoke to the British publication Heat in May about how the stars intend to manage the “awkward” upcoming event: “Brad and Jen’s publicists have worked really hard to avoid awkward run-ins over the years, but now they’re figuring out the best way to stage-manage George’s wedding,” the source said.

Clooney’s wedding, which is slated to take place in Italy sometime in September, is going to be one of the biggest celeb weddings of the year. That being said, it has been rumored that Brad Pitt may even receive the honor of being George Clooney’s best man, speech and all.

For her part, Jennifer Aniston is making her own wedding plans for this summer as she gets ready tie the knot with Justin Theroux on his 43rd birthday, which falls on August 10.
