Although Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux met years prior, their romance reportedly didn't take off until 2011 (via Insider). In August of that year, the couple rented a home together in Hollywood Hills. In August 2012, Theroux proposed to Aniston while they celebrated his birthday. The couple eventually tied the knot in August 2015 in a small ceremony in front of famous friends such as Jimmy Kimmel and Ellen DeGeneres. In 2016, Theroux opened up about what made their relationship successful. "We appreciate each other's sense of humor, we respect one another, and we get along," he told Entertainment Tonight. "I know it sounds simple but it's true!" Sadly, in 2018 the couple announced that they were calling it quits.
Although the couple never officially confirmed the reason behind their divorce, sources told E! News that a big reason for their split was long-distance and their very different lifestyles. "He was a New York hipster that loved the alternative lifestyle, and Jennifer was living a much more reclusive life when they first started to fall in love," an insider dished. "They have always just been two very different people with very different characters who just happened to fall in love. He's more nomadic, more of a free spirit; he's rugged and urban, and Jennifer just isn't that kind of person." The difference were, sadly, enough for the couple to call it quits. Despite their split, Theroux has confirmed that he and Aniston are still in contact (they FaceTime, apparently) and are good friends, per Esquire.
