Why did Justin Theroux and Jennifer Aniston divorce?

American actor Justin Theroux was married to actress Jennifer Aniston from 2015 to 2018.

The former couple began dating in 2011, after working with her on the film Wanderlust and became engaged in August 2012 and held their secret wedding ceremony in the backyard of their house.

The split between Jennifer Aniston and Theroux sparked much speculation, with rumours that it was caused by both of them wanting to live in different places, which he addressed in an interview with Esquire in 2021.

“That’s a narrative that is not true, for the most part,” he explained. “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 Theroux also discussed their current relationship, saying that despite their split, they have “remained friends,” adding, “We don’t talk every day, but we call each other.” We talked on FaceTime.

In May 2021, Theroux spoke candidly about his ongoing friendship with his ex-wife and how much the pair mean to each other. He reiterated that their split wasn’t “dramatic,” and that the pair still “love each other.”

He continued: “I’m sincere when I say that I cherish our friendship. We can not be together and still bring each other joy and friendship.
