Brad Pitt is allegedly ready to “move on” from Angelina Jolie as their fighting is taking a toll on them both. Sources say the couple, who has allegedly “kept up a charade” of happiness for the cameras, is looking forward to spending time apart this summer.

“Brad is most definitely ready to move on. He’s just bidding his time,” says an insider.

“They are keeping up this charade in part for the children, but also because there’s a strong sense of pride and they hate people to know how bad things really are between them. But they can’t go on like this. It’s tearing them both apart to be so unhappy all the time,” a friend of the couple’s explains.

Pitt is reportedly set to spend time in Oakland, California shooting ‘Moneyball’ without Jolie and their 6 children. Sources claim the actor has already set up a secret meeting with ex-wife Jennifer Aniston and that he has been sending her intimate text messages for over a month now.

“Jen needs to stand up to Brad and tell him to sort his own business out. But she’s got too much of a soft spot for him. She still loves him after all this time,” another source says.

Angelina was very angry and threatened not to accompany Brad to Cannes if he didn’t stop talking to Anniston. According to Grazia magazine, a source said Angelina feels Brad is making a fool of her, but Brad is refusing to break off his contact with his ex-wife.

Angelina spent only 36 hours in Cannes and most of the time it was without her husband. She was also spotted house-hunting in Portugal alone.
