‘They’ve been a crucial pillar of strength for Brad through his whole custody battle with Ange, and he knows he wouldn’t be celebrating right now if it wasn’t for his friends George and Amal,’ a source tells New Idea.

Amal, in particular, has been incredibly helpful and supportive with the legal details and has been able to provide Brad with plenty of insider knowledge thanks to her background as a well-known barrister.

‘Her legal knowledge is second to none and they used her expertise to help get them the right advice and choose the right strategy for taking on Ange.’

With the main battle over, Brad, 54, couldn’t wait to celebrate this victory in true Hollywood style.

With Jennifer Aniston, 49, by his side, the rumoured on-again pair invited all their mutual friends to celebrate. It was especially poignant as there have always been reports that Angelina kept her ex from keeping in touch with many of his old pals during their relationship.

‘Everyone was so excited to see Brad in particular so happy after so many months of pain and heartbreak.’

George, 57, meanwhile, is said to be delighted to have his former co-star back by his side.

‘He was never happy with Brad for cheating on Jen and made that clear to him. And he was never a fan of Ange...’
