Jennifer Aniston is said to have met up with Brad Pitt at the Toronto Film Festival - despite reports that she had planned ahead to ensure that she and her ex-husband wouldn't cross paths.

If the couple did - as rumoured - meet for a low-key "business dinner" while in the Canadian city to promote their respective new movie releases, this would have been the pair's first known meeting since their divorce in 2005.

It was previously reported that Jen’s team had her team working hard to ensure the the pair didn't accidentally bump into one another.

“Her people are checking and double checking her schedule to make sure she doesn't go within a mile of Brad, let alone bump into him," a friend tells Now.

“She's already concerned about her break-up with John Mayer overshadowing her movie, so the last thing she wants is another ex in the picture.”

“It's inconvenient having to duck and dive but more than anything she finds it embarrassing.”

Brad is promoting his Coen Brothers movie Burn After Reading at the festival, minus Angelina Jolie who is at home in France reportedly being a stressed out new mum to twins Knox and Vivienne.
