Jennifer Aniston has reportedly told Brad Pitt to leave Angelina Jolie if he wants to get his life back on track.

Despite the tabloid frenzy over their alleged meeting in New York, and team Jolie-Pitt's show of unity at Cannes, the former spouses are said to still be in contact.

And Jen has been serving up some home truths to her ex-husband, according to Britian's Now magazine.

"Seeing the body language between Brad and Angelina was hard for Jen," says a source.

"She feels sorry for him, but deep down she can’t help feeling vindicated after what he put her through.

"She’s told him that it’s the mess he signed up for when he ran off with Angelina.

"The only way to get himself out of this hole is by leaving her."
