Last month, the Beverly Hills estate that Hollywood stars Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston once owned went back on the market, with hedge fund manager Jonathan Brooks – who bought the home from the actors in 2006 when they divorced – looking to sell.

Now that the stars have reportedly reunited, Brad is planning to buy back the residence that he and Jen previously spent three years restoring together.

“After they get married, Brad wants to make a gesture to Jen that would go beyond her wildest dreams, so when their old home came up for sale, he knew that would be the purchase to make all her dreams come true,” a source spills.

According to the insider, Brad got in touch with the estate agent immediately and made an offer on the property – now on the market for $79 million – telling them he’d be aggressive if need be and would out-bid all other offers because he had to have this home.

Brad and Jen bought the 1100-square-metre property in 2001 for $18 million and ploughed all their energy into doing up the pad, with heated marble floors in the kitchen and a pub room with wooden floors imported from a 200-year-old French castle.

The home, described as a French Normandy Revival property, features four bedrooms, a swimming pool and a championship tennis court, and sits on half a hectare of land.

“When Brad and Jen split, she said losing their dream home worsened the heartache of their divorce and it was one of her biggest regrets not buying Brad out. She even referred to it on numerous occasions when they reunited, saying how her current Bel Air mansion never lived up to their Beverly Hills estate,” the source adds.

The insider explains that Brad revealed the surprise to Jen over a romantic meal at his place, leaving an envelope containing the specs of the home under her plate. He told Jen he was buying it back for her to ensure he stuck to his vow of making her the happiest she’s ever been.

“Jen was in shock and floods of tears when she opened the envelope, telling Brad how she finally felt hope that she would get her fairytale ending after all the years of heartache and pain,” the source reveals.

“She’s planning to put her Bel Air mansion up for sale and is keen to sell it as quickly as possible, to rid herself of the memories of her broken marriage to Justin Theroux and look forward to the future with Brad, making new memories with him back in their home.”

The purchase will be the icing on the cake following their dream nuptials, which are due to take place in Mexico in July at Jen’s favourite resort, One&Only Palmilla.

After Brad’s legal single status was announced last week, the couple sent out ‘save the date’ invites to all their family and friends.

Although Jen’s divorce has not officially been announced, her marriage to Justin, according to TMZ, was never legalised, so she can quickly tie the knot to Brad once again on July 29 – exactly 19 years after they first married.

Now with Brad’s generous gift to Jen, they can once again live the life they enjoyed all those years ago.  Brad’s $79 million surprise for Jen!
