Fresh star stories with a cool online feel.

After years of dealing with hurt feelings and family trauma, Jennifer Aniston knew she had to move on and live her own life. "We've made up," she told Rolling Stone of her relationship with her dad in 1999. "There's still parts that are hard for me, but I'm an adult. I can't blame my parents anymore," she added. Decades later, Jennifer told Allure that she had forgiven her parents for the mistakes they had made in the past.

Although her life was greatly impacted by Nancy Dow and John Aniston's decisions, marriage, and divorce, the actor claims that she's put the past behind her. "I forgave my mom. I forgave my father. I've forgiven my family," she told Allure in 2022. "It's important," she said of forgiveness. "It's toxic to have that resentment, that anger. I learned that by watching my mom never let go of it," she added.

Sadly, Jennifer's time with John and Nancy has passed. However, she can look back on the good times they had together and know that her experiences with her parents have made her who she is today. She told Vanity Fair in 2015 that she wouldn't change anything that's happened to her, revealing that it's "all in the past."
