Brad Pitt and his ex-wife, Jennifer Aniston, reportedly share the same thoughts on what their homes should be moving forward.
Sources recently claimed the former couple share one mind regarding the security of their homes after facing invasions this year. Aniston made waves in May after her alleged stalker rammed his car into her Los Angeles property.
Brad Pitt faced a similar challenge in June when burglars broke into his Los Feliz home and ransacked the place. Both incidents have reportedly left their marks on Jennifer Aniston and her ex-husband as they fortified their new homes.
Brad Pitt & Jennifer Aniston Turning Their Properties Into 'Defensive Homes'

According to new reports, Pitt and Aniston are prioritizing their safety by ensuring their homes become an impenetrable sanctuary. A source noted the "Friends" star was traumatized by the stalker incident and immediately made plans to move into her Montecito ranch.
The property, once a quiet retreat, has reportedly been transformed into a private and secure haven for the actress. A source claimed she was "exhausted with pretending Hollywood's safe" and wanted walls that feel real, not symbolic or artistic features.
They told RadarOnline that Aniston and Pitt shared the same thoughts, claiming: "Both she and Brad now share a similar defensive streak. Their homes have become more than residences; they are defensive homes."
The 'F1' Star Is Reportedly 'Paranoid' About His Safety

The source added that Aniston has begun "seeing her home as somewhere that needs to be a fortress to keep out all dangers," with Pitt echoing similar sentiments about his new Hollywood Hills mansion. A close friend of the actor's claimed the burglary did a number on him, noting:
"He's paranoid, every door, every window is suddenly a potential threat. He's going to be turning the new home into something near impenetrable."
Another pal agreed, claiming Pitt planned on installing a panic room and round-the-clock security measures in his new place. He also wanted a watchtower and anti-drone tech, with an insider adding that Pitt had labeled his house his "peace of mind project."
Pitt's Los Feliz Property Reportedly In Escrow Months After Robbery

Before Pitt's Los Feliz home was robbed in June, he had placed it on the market and secured a deal. The Blast covered the story, reporting that sources claimed the actor's property was in escrow in an off-market deal.
Sources noted the property, nicknamed The Steel House, was on its way to a new owner after catching the attention of many when it was on the market. Pitt became the new owner of the 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home in 2023.
The TV personality purchased the house from American heiress and activist Aileen Getty in 2023 for $5.5 million. The property came under Getty's possession in 2019 after she bought it from James Valentine of Maroon 5.
Jennifer Aniston's New Boyfriend Is Helping Her Heal

Days earlier, The Blast shared that sources claimed Aniston was healing from the alleged stalker incident thanks to her new beau, Jim Curtis. They explained that the actress had been traumatized by the event and experienced severe insomnia.
They added that Aniston battled constant tension and anxiety but managed to overcome these challenges thanks to the "breathing exercises and visualization hacks" Curtis taught her. When she wasn't following these routines, she visited wellness centers with the hypnotherapist.
The alleged stalker, Jimmy Wayne Carwyle, was arrested in May for ramming his car into the front gate of Aniston's Los Angeles home. He was charged with felony stalking and felony vandalism, with investigations revealing he had been spamming the actress with unsolicited attention.
Brad Pitt Reportedly 'Pleased' By His Ex-Wife's New Romance

Last month, The Blast reported that insiders had shared Pitt's thoughts on Aniston's blossoming new relationship with Curtis. They claimed the actor "couldn't be more pleased" that his ex-wife had found someone who seemed compatible with her.
Despite the controversial end of his marriage to Aniston, insiders stressed that Pitt never lost his affection for her. "When you find the right partner all's right with the world, he hopes the same is true about Jen," they added.
Pitt and Aniston were married from 2000 to 2005. Their union ended following the infidelity scandal between the actor and his "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" co-star Angelina Jolie. He and Jolie went on to have a fiery romance that ended acrimoniously, leading to Pitt's estrangement from his children.
Although Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston share one mind regarding their home security, bonding over their traumatic invasions seems unlikely.
