Hollywood superstar Brad Pitt is said to have had a secret meeting with his ex-wife Jennifer Aniston to discuss his relationship with partner Angelina Jolie.

Pitt and Aniston, who ended their five-year marriage in 2005, met up at a hotel in New York for an hour where the 45-year-old actor unloaded his emotional baggage, Grazia magazine reported.

The Hollywood star allegedly told Aniston about his relationship problems with Jolie, who he hooked up with after divorcing the 'Friends' actress.

A source told the magazine that Pitt got his mother Jane - who is still close to Aniston - to persuade her to meet with him and give some advice.

"She arrived at his hotel suite a matter of hours after they had spoken. Brad was unloading his emotional baggage on Jen, which isn't exactly fair considering their history," the source said.

"She was quick to tell him she wanted no part in his break-up with Angelina," the source added.

Aniston was apparently brutally honest with Pitt during their exchange telling him he was being selfish and had to figure things out on his own.

The secret meeting comes amid reports that Pitt and Aniston are in regular phone contact and their latest encounter marks their second private meeting together in the Big Apple earlier this year.

It has been claimed that Hollywood heartthrob's four-year relationship with Jolie has hit the rocks.

The magazine reported that Jolie is keen to work out their problems, but as far as Pitt is concerned it is "all but over".
