Justin Theroux Opened Up About How He Feels Toward Jennifer Aniston

When Jennifer Aniston first got together with Justin Theroux, fans couldn’t get enough of the charming couple. The pair first met in 2007, but they didn’t end up dating until 2011. Their subsequent whirlwind romance and heated engagement enchanted the public and dominated the headlines — until their abrupt split in 2018 left us all heartbroken. Years later, Theroux got very candid about the truth behind their emotional breakup and the real state of their relationship today.

Getting to the truth

The first thing Theroux addressed was a rumor that the media had latched on to immediately after the couple’s 2018 divorce. According to the worldwide press, then, the schism in Theroux and Aniston’s relationship had been caused by a major disagreement — one that neither side could resolve. But the actor was quick to put that to bed.

Separating fact from fiction

You see, Aniston and Theroux had owned a house in Bel Air, California, before they got married. In fact, their wedding had actually been held on the property. Yet outlets such as Hello! reported that — despite those good memories of California — one of the pair wasn’t too keen to stay in the state.

The dividing line

According to the rumor, Theroux was the one pushing for a move away. Yep, he apparently preferred the idea of putting down roots in New York City. But the story was that NYC wasn’t particularly appealing for Aniston. Instead, the Hollywood actress reportedly wanted to live in Los Angeles, California. So Theroux really wanted to set the record straight.

Years of silence

When the split was announced, of course, neither Theroux nor Aniston commented upon this rumor. Perhaps that is partly why the media decided to run with this angle — and Theroux was seemingly happy to let them do it. Now, though, The Leftovers star focused on this particular rumor during his candid chat with Esquire.
