Brad Pitt and Jennifer AnistonBrad Pitt and Jennifer AnistonLadies the world over will be gutted at new pics of Brad Pitt snuggling up to his lovely wife Jennifer Aniston - putting paid to those rumours of a split.    

But evidence that the Hollywood A-listers are still a couple will make romantic types feel all warm and fluffy inside - pictures reveal them very much together and enjoying a break in the Caribbean.

The nattering has been rife of late that their marriage was on the way out, with reports that Jen was last seen minus her wedding ring when she landed back in Los Angeles after a trip to London.    

Plus there was Brad cancelling promotional plans for his new movie - the official line being that the Ocean's Twelve star had rushed back to America to be with his wife who was grieving the loss of a friend.    

Then there were the rumours during the summer about Brad and his Mr And Mrs Smith co-star Angelina Jolie - which led to him issuing a denial statement.    

So it was all looking a bit gloomy - so gloomy that bookies had slashed the odds on the couple splitting in 2005.    

But the recent shots of them hugging and chilling out in the Caribbean with their showbiz buddies, Courteney Cox and David Arquette, show Jen with her wedding ring FIRMLY back in place.
