What is the state of Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux? We haven’t seen them together since the Oscars. I would assume that their relationship is the same as it’s ever been – Jennifer nests at home in Bel Air while Justin spends half the time in New York or wherever, working on film and TV projects. And honestly, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that, except I kind of wish they would explicitly say that their relationship is long-distance half the time and that no, they don’t have any plans to get married. They got engaged in 2012, and from what People Magazine has already told us, Jennifer wants to have a wedding and Justin does not. So will they stay in the holding pattern? Or will a breakup eventually happen? This week’s Star Magazine says Jennifer was recently very tearful about the state of her engagement. Some highlights:
On April 8th, Jennifer Aniston and Courteney Cox stopped by the Sunset Tower Hotel. The conversation turned mournful as the night wore on, as Jennifer seemed “super-emotional.”
“She kept saying that, once again, she’d managed to mess up an important relationship,” says an eyewitness. “She was talking very loudly. She said her fiancé wasn’t trying hard enough to save the relationship and she was so tired of always fighting with him.”
Courteney seemed unfazed – in fact, many of the couple’s close friends had been expecting a breakup announcement for some time.
“Jen and Justin have been falling apart since the start of the year. They lead virtually spearate lives. You rarely see them together anymore; it’s always work, work, work. It was only a matter of time before things fell apart. They’re just not that into each other anymore. It’s a sad state.”
Justin has been in Rome for most of the spring filming Zoolander 2, which he wrote, and he’ll be in Texas soon after, shooting season two of ‘The Leftovers’. “Jen is mad because Justin agreed to this schedule without talking to her about it; she feels like he’s not making her a priority. They haven’t seen each other for most of April and that’s more time than they’ve spent apart since they started dating four years ago.”
They’ve also been bickering about setting a wedding date: “Justin said she needs to be patient, but Jen thinks it’s already been too long. Being no closer to a wedding date after more than two years of engagement makes her feel like a fool.”
[From Star Magazine, print edition]
You get the idea. The piece goes on and on like this – Justin hates living in LA, he misses NYC. She’s been trying to fix up their Bel Air home to make him happy but the sauna she put in just for him has gone “unused” (SOB!). Star also includes an utterly unnecessary side-story about how Jennifer is “finally pregnant” and determined to raise Justin’s baby all by herself. Which… nope. That’s not happening. Too bad, because the rest of the story was pretty believable.
So, do you think JustJen will be over by the end of the year? Hm…

she is too into herself

Yes. She could fly to be with him.
One thing — he’s not rushing to marry her for the good life and then let it fall apart for the money.
Maybe her prenup is really tough and he’s waiting her out.
He’s an o-p-p-o-r-t-u-n-i-s-t. She sees it now!!!

Most depressing part of the story is the The Leftovers is getting a second season.
Lol. I know. It was a disappointing 1st season. I will probably tune in though in hopes that it gets better. I love me some HBO programming.
Oh Abbott. I’m not sure how to say this, so I’ll just blurt it out. I really like the Leftovers. That was basically the only thing I cared about in this post.
#oppositereactions
I expecting better from you, mia girl. I liked Ann Dowd and Liv’s characters. The sulking daughter and Theroux’s melon brows were terrible.
Agree on mopey daughter and I’ll add stupid son…
I’m still intrigued by Theroux’s character, but not sold.
Ann Dowd is amazing.
But my favorite is Carrie Coon. I love her.
Hahaha. I tried with that show and I just couldn’t. Made it to the end of episode 3. I couldn’t
…
Photo op with the two of them together in 1, 2, 3…
There were pics of them ogether at RDJ’s birthday party like a week ago. They were kinda overshadowed by Goop and her man friend. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-3027756/Gwyneth-Paltrow-takes-secret-boyfriend-Brad-Falchuk-celebrate-Robert-Downey-Jr-s-50th-birthday-star-studded-bash-Jennifer-Aniston-Gwen-Stefani-Orlando-Bloom.html
And I saw a link to some pap video of Jennifer and Justin leaving Courtney Cox’s movie screening thing (was that Monday? Gossip moves too fast).
IMO. they’e already over, and have been since the Oscars. They remain friends, so he still escorts her to events. She’s not ready to announce that yet another relationship is down the tubes,and he really doesnt’ care either way, so if keeping up the pretense makes her happy, he’s probably fine with it. I still predict a break up announceent by the end of summer.
ephiphany I totally agree with you. It will be the standard. . . they both want different things out of life but remain friends. . . On the other hand, they could keep on doing what they’re doing now. He comes to escort her to events. But what’s gonna happen when he meets someone new and wants to be with that woman? It’s gonna be interesting.
I agree. I think they remain together on a lesser level – friends with benefits, until something/someone comes along that peaks their interest. Even though Justin seems “lighter” than Brad, I think, he too, tired of her self-centeredness. She is just too vapid for anyone with a brain. I can see her turning to younger men who don’t really have alot going on yet, so they can just follow her everywhere, be her fan and keep her warm on the lonely nights….like JLo.
@GoOnGirl, who wrote: “On the other hand, they could keep on doing what they’re doing now. He comes to escort her to events. But what’s gonna happen when he meets someone new and wants to be with that woman? It’s gonna be interesting.”
Isn’t that what happened with Jake Gyllenhaal and Reece Witherspoon? It got extremely interesting when Reece met someone (her current husband) and wanted to stop pretending with Jake.
But based upon past history, when Justin meets someone and wants to stop the pretense, it’ll just be another round of ‘Poor Jen!’ Then her fans will blame Brad Pitt–again–for breaking her heart and ruing her life. It won’t be Justin’s fault, just like it wasn’t John Mayer’s fault. It will once again be Brad’s fault.
When will it finally be ‘Jennifer Aniston’s’ fault?
So is “nesting” a euphemism for smoking weed?
To me it is. 😉
My BF and I lead mostly separate lives and we’re happy and in love. Different strokes!
She can’t visit his various sets?
^^This.^^ If she misses him, fly to Rome. Simple. It’s not like she doesn’t have the money to do so.
I don’t believe she visited her ex-husband for the six months he was on location filming “Troy”, so this is not unusual. She seems to expect her partner to make all the sacrifices.
Maybe she doesn’t like to travel much. Slightly agoraphobic? I was for a few years, there are varying degrees of it. Doesn’t necessarily mean you won’t leave your house, but you might feel truly comfortable in only a handful of places. Could be why she goes to Cabo so often, or NYC.
He was in Rome for just a week tho. The paps got him leaving and subsequently arriving back at LAX a couple of weeks ago. Just Jared had the pics. Stiller is directing Z2; JT is just a screenwriter on the project, and they don’t typically go on location for the duration of the shooting schedule. So, Star mag, reliable as ever.
minx, you might have something there. I am exactly the same way. It’s very difficult to relax unless I am somewhere I feel ‘safe’ which is truly only a very few places in this world.
Crumpet–yes, and there’s sometimes no logic to where you feel safe. You just do, or you don’t.
This could have been another problem in the BP-JA marriage, if he wanted to see the world and she didn’t.
minx, I remember a trip to Kawaii – I had never been and was struggling to sleep at night and feel truly ‘present’. Until a canoeing trip turned into swimming underwater with a dolphin and her baby. I snapped out of it and was comfortable from then on. 🙂
I love Rome! I LOVE love Rome! Get thee to Rome!
She hardly saw her ex for the most part of a year. Everyone is different. I couldn’t stay away from my husband for that long and I personally side eye her interest in marriage (former or potential) because of it.
She was on the record years ago for her terrifying fear of flying. She would go to a hypnotist beforehand and take amulets with her and friends would send notes of encouragement with her. She did fly in this state to see Brad one time while he was filming abroad. This is a very real, debilitating thing for many. I know two grown men…one will NEVER fly, not even if bought a ticket to go to Europe, the other takes benzodiazepines with alcohol until he is non compos mentis on the flight. So, I think it’s more that than an ego thing.
But she had no problem flying all over the place when she was John Mayer’s groupie. I just don’t think she’s that interested in being with him. She likes the status of having a fiance more than the actual relationship.
@Luck Charm, who wrote: “But she had no problem flying all over the place when she was John Mayer’s groupie.”
And she’s taken a plane to England quite a few times over the past 10-years. Not to mention her trips to England with Justin to visit his cousin and to Italy to visit the Vatican … after their long vacation flight to Hawaii.
Jennifer has also claimed to have a phobia about putting her head under water, yet she and John Mayer were photographed looking all loved up and completely soaked from head to toe in a swimming pool … Jennifer’s hair was slick to her head and her face was moist with water so the assumption is that she’d been under water.
He already got what he wanted out of this relationship. No reason to stick around any more.
Haha! Exactly.
Nothing about this is the least bit surprising.
Next week we will see photos of them going out dinner and that will put an end to the rumors. It must be difficult to have two narcissistic personalities living together under one roof.
I read a blind item that Jen is going to have Amalooney’s surrogate baby.
OK, not really, I was making up blind items last night in bed before I went to bed.
My cats laughed a lot. Good Times.
Yeah, but since she seems to gestate at the rate of one cell per month, it could take awhile. She has been pregnant for at least three years and never shown.
🙂 hee.
i saw pics of them at RDJ’s party, and he was there for Cox’s screening, so this is bogus.
We haven’t really seen much of Jen in the last two months, so really how can one comment if they are separate or not?
Oh do share!
Well I wasn’t really making up blinds, but my cats WERE laughing. Maybe it was my pajamas?
More tater blinds!
Taterho! Please more blinds!
sounds like you get jennifer Anniston quality weed.
That’s about as accurate as most “blind items.” Say anything ridiculous thing you can think of and have people discuss it until they actually think it’s true.
I think they just use each other for PR these days. I don’t thing she minds being on the cover of Star in another “poor Jen” headline. Keeps her famous.
Found it, the two of them attended Courtney Cox’s premiere/screening earlier this week: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=pTPKukHiEJ0&feature=youtu.be
Star took its RP FanFic over the top with the unnecessary “i’ll raise this baby alone” silliness; it just strained the credibility of the entire enterprise. The “bump” picture is literally from three years ago.
So wait they left before the screening started? Did they just show up to take pictures, I mean I understand if it was her own movie because she would have seen it a million times already.
I call BS to the Star story just because it came from Star.
I feel like I could write these JustJen stories myself by now, probably because the exact same ones seem to get trotted out every few months.
Well, I think this is exactly how the two of them want it. Jen seems to like her space and Justin likes to maintain his old lifestyle. Mazeltov.
No surprise here.
That cover’s hilarious, break-up, pregnancy, kitchen sink and all…..but it’s Star. ‘An eye-witness’ who happens to hear every word that is being said….ummm. I’m surprised more wasn’t made of Courteney and her beau having problems, those pics of her sobbing with Johnny’s best friend were pretty gossip-worthy.
What are they arguing about? Is he using too much from her hair care products? Or he keeps misplacing her mascara?
Jennifer’s last film was in 2014. She could have visited him on set if she wanted.
All in all nothing new.
Hilarious.
IF this tabloid story is true, its no surprise. But, it seems to be placing a lot of blame on Justin. Hence me sensing its a plant by Huvane. He won’t commit to a date, the article says. He is not trying hard enough, she says. He made a filming schedule without consulting her, she says. Seems to be an article setting the scene for a breakup and putting all the blame on him. Also, its ironic that she is upset that he didn’t consult with her about scheduling, considering her then husband Brad had to read about 2 movies she set up, from hollywood insider Variety magazine, so that is rich coming from her.
It’s Star magazine. Chances are, it’s not true
I think they are fine. I doubt they will ever marry but he’s Jens’ Steadman . (Who else remembers Oprahs People cover when they got engaged in the early 90s?) An attractive escort to parties. A companion. No wedding is necessary.
This I agree with. They each have what they want from the relationship. It is almost like friends with benefits, but she is wearing a ring. Don’t know why they got engaged, but they are stuck with it now and just have to keep going. She gets to hang with her female posse in LA and do her spokesperson duties and he gets to be a New York hipster who shows up for carpets as her escort. If it works for them, then fine.
Jen2 – Spot on.
but the impt thing still unanswered is who designed her ring?
I also agree. If they’re happy the way they are,not everyone needs the piece of paper to complete their relationship.
Ben Stiller is directing Zoolander 2 in Rome. I saw the pap pics of Theroux leaving LAX and arriving at LAX exactly one week apart. He was probably just visiting the set as screenwriter. I don’t know how anyone can take these break up rumors seriously? It’s been four years now? I think they live a quiet life for the most part at the house in Bel Air, and have found a way to live without being constantly spotted. They also just attended Cox’s premiere a few days ago, left together in a pap video and were seen at Sunset Tower later that evening. There hasn’t been any sighting of Theroux in NYC since October when he was working on the Z2 script with Stiller. They did both (Aniston/Theroux) attend the funeral of one of his relatives in Boston in March. I saw family pics, but can’t reveal the source. Most of the cast of The Leftovers is now in Austin, Texas and ready to start season 2. I’m sure Theroux is either there or on his way soon. I understand there are those who want them to break up, or don’t believe she is capable of a long term relationship. It doesn’t make it so and Star magazine has very little if any credibility. Yes, I’m an Aniston fan, but I have no agenda against anyone. Just adding some truth to the gossip.
Eyeroll.
Plenty of couples, especially in Hollywood, aren’t always together. Apart for work is fine, it’s for thier careers.
If he doesn’t like the Bel Air house however, I’d gladly move in
I am not going to speculate on someone else’s relationship because no one knows what’s going on behind closed doors.
However, I will say that I still find it odd that Jennifer didn’t attend Justin’s close friend Philip Seymour Hofman’s funeral.
I also find it weird that here is a couple who has been engaged for 3 years and has the money and time to get married and yet still hasn’t.
I do think that Jennifer will either announce a breakup, pregnancy or wedding when her ex husband’s movie with his current wife gets released. Jennifer has planned her announcements according what her ex has been doing for the past decade or so and I don’t think it will change any time soon.
You’re probably right about that.
I have to confess, I had no idea who Theroux even was before he started dating Jennifer, so I only knew him as her partner. I just recently marathoned all of Six Feet Under on Amazon Prime (I’m so glad I finally got to see that show), and he was on there, and I really, really liked him. I didn’t like Brenda at all, but I liked her with his character– maybe because she wasn’t doing bad things to Nate anymore.
I need to find people to talk SFU with!
I love and miss that show so much
@maya, this year my boyfriends good friend died, but I didn’t attend the funeral because I had other things to do.
There’s no rule how fast the marriage has to come money, no money.
There were other times in her ex and his wifes life for her to make these announcements but didn’t. She’s not running her life around what the Jolie-Pitt family will be doing. Let it go. Time to move on
That reads like speculation to me.
Definitely a speculation by a person who is not a Jennifer fan.
I will be quite happy to make use of that unused sauna. I’d want the margarita fountain within easy reach though
He didn’t marry Heidi whom he was with for nearly 14 years and whom I think he was in actual love with. He’s not the marry kind.
I think he was ‘in fascination’ with Aniston rather than ‘in love.’ She must have thought of herself as that much better than Heidi if she thought she could make him into the marrying kind. She must have thought that since she was able to get him away from Heidi (whom he was in love with), that she had him where she wanted him. Uh no.
Justin asked Jen to marry him and gave her a ring and proposal after like a year together. Whether they ever marry or not, it’s a lot more than Heidi got and dumped quickly when he fell for someone else.
Justin asking Jen to marry him doesn’t mean that he was going to fulfill that askance. And reality has shown that it was an empty one too.
He’s not the marrying kind.
What he did to Heidi was wrong. Like I said, I don’t think he fell in love with Aniston but rather he thought being with her would be a step up in his career and get him a load of publicity, which it did.
I wouldn’t be surprised if he went back to Heidi after Jen announces it’s over.
2 boring people, bored by one another.
This is just so sad-I remember sitting at work nearly 3 years ago and seeing on the tv in the next room that they were engaged and that feels like forever ago. the best revenge is living well and Jen’s life since being cheated on by brad does not look good.
IMO Jen and Justin are each other’s ‘beards’
The people they’re really dating don’t fit well into their public images so they have each other as beards and date private people in reality.
This would be like if Jack Nicholson got married, it wouldn’t fit his public image, when in reality he could be a great guy and not a womanizing jerk.
This woman is nearly 50. The “finally pregnant” stories are getting ridiculous and insulting. The lady doesn’t want a baby probably. She would have adopted one by now if she couldn’t physically have them.
I just think that Jen won’t break up with Justin no matter what, regardless of whether he wants space or doesn’t want to marry or wants to work far away from her or whatever the situation, because she doesn’t want the embarrassment of another broken relationship. But I also think at this stage and age in her life, actually walking down the aisle might not matter that much to Jen, especially given that she is the wealthier party here.
if she breaks up with justin it will reinforce the idea that she cannot have a relationship at all. for someone who kept on prattling on when she was married and pregnant etc – maybe she sd have just kept quiet – but the point is when u keep telling all your ” fans” that u have found the one etc – she sd have just said we are happy and no plans on getting married but she didnt do that so now she is stuck. if she gets dumped it will be ” poor jen” again
ugh
I see my Entertainment Weekly magazine covers – Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Amy Schumer as comedy queens, and isn’t Sandra Bullock “Most Beautiful” this week? Maybe Aniston should stick to income from false advertising. Naturally beautiful? Aveeno and a good night’s sleep? Talk to Dr. Oz honey.
Hahahahaha. Verrrry good. Snap!
And this is news to WHO??? Her delusional fans??
Mr. gigolo is getting paid……
People seem to want to blame her if this doesn’t work out, but then no one has anything nice to say about him either. Weird and inconsistent.
I’m not going to assign blame to either, but generally, if a couple in their 40’s want to get married, there’s no need to be engaged for going on 3 years. For whatever reason I don’t see them ever getting married.
He was in his previous relationship for what 10 or 15 years and no marriage. The dude does not want to get married. I figured they got engaged to stop the press from hounding them about just being engaged. But at some point you have to shit or get off the pot. He had a decent career before her but she really raised his profile and raised him up a grade on the celebrity alphabet. Also, Justin is a recovering alcoholic he doesn’t drink or smoke. And that is all Jen does. I never got how they made that work for so long. I think he got bored of the relationship and is just trying to be a gentlemen and let her make the announcement when she is ready. Because when she does it will be months and months of magazine covers of “poor lonely Jen” “Jen wants Brad back” “Jen wants John Mayer back” “Jen wants a baby of her own” and on and on…
Couldn’t agree more; in fact, I said pretty much the same thing on an earlier post. He was fascinated with her level of fame, and, intentionally or not, used it to his own advantage. She, of course, got a much needed +1 out of it. He’s since realized she’s a very one dimensional person, not someone with whom he wants to spend the rest of his life – or even, that much time. Break up announcement by the end of summer.
@Apple …
Unfortunately, Brad’s name is the ‘only’ name ever mentioned after the end of one of Jennifer’s ‘relationship contracts.’ I would be happy (and happy for them) if Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux got married, but I’m now almost completely convinced that she is in the closet. I believe Brad married her because he has a ‘thing’ for bi-sexual women, but I also believe he totally expected them to have children. Jen absolutely had to have promised Brad kids or I don’t believe he ever would have put a ring on it.
This is all my opinion, but so much about Jen’s life just seems to fit this scenario.
no i think ja is just not interested in anything except herself – which is fine but when u keep saying that u want to get married etc and dont it is pathetic for ja. when brad and aj got engaged everyone were very sure that they wouldnt get married but they did – so my question is ja and justin have been engaged for more than 3 years now why dont the journalists ask them when they are getting married . ? 1 standard for bp and aj and another for justin and jennifer
I live in lockhart (south of Austin) and it’s been confirmed the leftovers has been filming here and will be for two months. I have seen the set on the way to drop my kids off at school but I have not seen anyone in particular as far as celebrities. just the signs that point to the set. it’s pretty normal for movies to be filmed here though.
