Two years after his high-profile split from Jennifer Aniston

When Justin Theroux Shared the Real Reason Behind His High Profile Split From Jennifer Aniston

For decades, Jennifer Aniston’s
[https://www.netflixjunkie.com/tag/jennifer-aniston/] love life has continued to
pique public interest. Ever since her time on the NBC sitcom, Friends, fans have
always been inquisitive about her relationship status. Although she has been
with many celebrities, only two have resulted in a marriage. While the world has
speculated that Angelina Jolie may have been the reason for her split from Brad
Pitt, the reason behind the end of Aniston’s relationship with her second
husband was kept under wraps.

Just 3 years after their split took over tabloids, Justin Theroux gave the world
a little more insight into why the couple separated.


JUSTIN THEROUX ADDRESSED THE REASON HE AND JENNIFER ANISTON SPLIT UP

In 2021, Justin Theroux sat down for an interview with Esquire
[https://www.esquire.com/entertainment/movies/a36075661/justin-theroux-mosquito-coast-interview-2021/]
to give his fans a look into his life. He spoke about the rather exhausting year
he had because of the COVID-19 pandemic, his career, and about his relationship
with his ex-wife, Jennifer Aniston. While tabloids had everyone believing they
had divorced over not agreeing on a place to settle down, the actor shut those
down. He even called it “an oversimplification” of what had played out.

“Look, people create narratives that make themselves feel better or simplify
things for them,” the Charlie’s Angels actor continued. While he was adamant
about not delving into it too much, he also said, “Like it or not, we didn’t
have that dramatic split.” While that should have been enough to put the rumors
to rest, their close friendship and amazing bond have also given the world
reasons to believe that they just did not work out.

After all, the actor even gushed about Aniston during the interview and
explained how much he cherished having her in his life.


THEROUX OPENED UP ABOUT ANISTON AND THEIR FRIENDSHIP SINCE THE DIVORCE

In the same interview with Esquire, Justin Theroux shared what it was like being
friends with his ex-wife, Jennifer Aniston, all these years after their divorce.
While they seemed to make a stunning couple, they unfortunately only lasted 2
years together. Since they split in 2018, the former couple has made sure to
keep in touch. The actor revealed, “We don’t talk every day, but we call each
other. We FaceTime. We text.”

He even added that it would have been “a loss” if they were not in contact.
Thankfully, they have not lost touch yet. They even put up cute posts on social
media for each other’s birthday. While that will not be ending anytime soon, her
two divorces did end up leaving the star learning how to love again
