Jennifer Aniston has been married twice: first to Brad Pitt, from 2000 until 2005, and next to Justin Theroux from 2015 until 2017 (they'd been dating since 2011). Although both marriages ended in divorce, Aniston considers her marriages to be "very successful," per Elle. "Why do we want a happy ending? How about just a happy existence? A happy process?" she asked, adding, "That's part of sexism—it's always the woman who's scorned and heartbroken and a spinster." She doesn't believe in staying in relationships out of obligation or fear — that would inhibit growth. This mindset is in part thanks to her parents. "I'm sure, because I was from a divorced-parent home, that was another reason I wasn't like, 'Well, [marriage] looks like a great institution,'" she explained.

What's more, the Golden Globe winner is still friendly with both of her ex-husbands. "We don't talk every day, but we call each other. We FaceTime. We text," Justin Theroux told Esquire, adding, "Like it or not, we didn't have that dramatic split, and we love each other." Although it took Jennifer Anniston nearly two decades to fully open up about her divorce from Brad Pitt, she's never minded sharing a few details, like how their relationship wasn't "that bad," per Vogue. Brad Pitt even attended Jennifer's 50th birthday party. "Brad and I are buddies, we're friends," the sitcom star told Howard Stern in a 2021 interview (via E! News).
