Jennifer Aniston seems to be unlucky in love! The actress, who gained prominence in the 1990s with the sitcom ‘Friends’, did not find much luck in the love department. Before ‘Friends,’ she starred in ‘Ferris Bueller,’ where she met her first love, Charlie Schlatter. Since then, she has been linked to many stars of bygone days, but her marriage and divorce with Brad Pitt were very much talked about. But when she was with Justin Theroux, there seemed to be genuine love right there.
It seems like Jennifer has a thing for writers! Justin Theroux and Jennifer Aniston met on the sets of ‘Tropic Thunder,’ which also starred Ben Stiller. Justin was a co-writer on the film. But Jennifer’s first impression of Justin was a mixed bag: she felt he was the nicest person, but she also thought that he was a serial killer. The two got engaged in 2012. The couple bought a house in Bel Air, where they got married in 2015. But in 2018, the two eventually parted ways.

In 2011, they were spotted at various events together.
In 2012, Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux cemented their relationship by buying a $24.9 million mansion in Bel Air, Los Angeles.

Justin Talks About The Divorce
Till 2017, Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux’s marriage was going stronger than ever! During Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s divorce, he was very supportive, protecting his wife from the pressure of asking about it. The two were adorable on social media platforms, but in 2018, the two announced their divorce, releasing a statement.
The statement read, “We have decided to announce our separation. This decision was mutual and lovingly made at the end of last year. We are two best friends who have decided to part ways as a couple, but look forward to continuing our cherished friendship.”
The reports suggested that Jennifer wanted to live in Los Angeles and Justin wanted to settle in New York. However, Theroux squashed the rumor during an interview with Esquire. He said, “That’s a narrative that is not true, for the most part. People create narratives that make themselves feel better or simplify things for them. That whole ‘This person likes rock ‘n’ roll, that person likes jazz. Of course!’ That’s just not the case. It’s an oversimplification.”
Justin continued, “Like it or not, we didn’t have that dramatic split, and we love each other. I’m sincere when I say that I cherish our friendship. We can not be together and still bring each other joy and friendship. It would be a loss if we weren’t in contact, for me personally.”
