Jennifer Aniston's love life has received a lot of attention ever since her marriage to Brad Pitt ended in 2005. After two years of marriage, she and her second husband, actor Justin Theroux, announced their split in 2018, leaving many to wonder why.

Despite persistent rumors and allegations, Aniston and Theroux have so far kept a low profile regarding their relationship, marriage, and subsequent divorce. Fans have been interested in the status of their relationship and whether they are still on good terms. So, are the ex-couple still friendly years after their divorce?

What Led To Justin Theroux And Jennifer Aniston's Divorce

One of the most adored couples in Hollywood at one point was Justin Theroux and Jennifer Aniston. The former couple first met in 2007 on the set of Tropic Thunder, but they didn't start dating until 2011 when they reunited as actors in the film Wanderlust.

Their romance quickly grew, and they eventually got married in a secret ceremony in August 2015 at their home in California.

Two and a half years, however, the duo announced that they were going their separate ways.

In February 2018, they said in a joint statement: "In an effort to reduce any further speculation, we decided to announce our separation. This decision was mutual and lovingly made at the end of last year. We are two best friends who have decided to part ways as a couple but look forward to continuing our cherished friendship."

They added, "Normally we would do this privately, but given that the gossip industry cannot resist an opportunity to speculate and invent, we wanted to convey the truth directly. Whatever else is printed about us that is not directly from us, is someone else's fictional narrative. Above all, we are determined to maintain the deep respect and love that we have for one another."

The cordial split was quickly marred with rumors and speculations that the two had a far more dramatic reason for parting ways. However, Theroux shut it down, saying, "That's a narrative that is not true, for the most part. 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."

In a recent interview with Esquire, the actor shared his opinion about his divorce from Aniston and how it feels to have social media people dissect his private life. He said, "There's something to, once you're out of that, where I want all of my relationships to exist within the four walls of whatever room we're in. And I'm not trying to be evasive, but I talk to Jen – I don't talk about Jen."

He went on to discuss how a public relationship can be difficult. "People will always want to gossip and say things, but you have to find that balance. And having been in a public relationship, it's much more fun not being in a public relationship…Me saying anything, even if it was something loving, it would just turn into a thing," he said.

Given the extensive public coverage their marriage and personal lives got, Theroux's hesitation to talk about his past relationship with Aniston is understandable. The couple's breakup was extensively covered in the tabloid press, and speculations about their connection are still circulating.

However, Theroux has been able to move on from the end of his marriage while still keeping a close friendship with his ex-wife by concentrating on his profession and maintaining his solitude.

Justin Theroux And Jennifer Aniston Are Still On Good Terms

Are Justin Theroux and Jennifer Aniston still friendly years after their divorce? Yes, it is the answer. Although there have undoubtedly been ups and downs in the couple's relationship, they have managed to stay cordial and appear to really care for one another.

In fact, on April 22 this year, the dynamic duo was spotted at II Cantinori in New York dining with friends Jason Bateman and Amanda Anka. The ex-couple apparently aren't together romantically, but they don't have a problem enjoying a dinner out with their mutual friends.

Since separating ways, Theroux and Aniston have been photographed together on different occasions, including Aniston's annual Thanksgiving dinner with friends. Theroux confirmed that he and his ex-wife have "remained friends," adding, "We don't talk every day, but we call each other. We FaceTime. We text."

He continued to explain, "Like it or not, we didn't have that dramatic split, and we love each other. I'm sincere when I say that I cherish our friendship. We cannot be together and still bring each other joy and friendship. It would be a loss if we weren't in contact, for me personally."

In a world where celebrity breakups are often messy and public, it's refreshing to see two people who were once married be able to put aside any differences and remain friends. Justin Theroux and Jennifer Aniston may no longer be a couple, but they are proof that love and respect can endure.
