L&S: Jennifer Aniston was ‘dumped after a 990 day engagement’

aniston lands

Life & Style says Jennifer Aniston has been DUMPED after 990 days. That will be the name of Jennifer’s memoir, you know. It will either be DUMPED: The Jennifer Aniston Story or 990 Days: A Story of the Forever Engagement. I actually looked it up and 990 days ago (May 21, 2015) was September 3, 2012. Which… is not correct. The 2012 date is reflective of their engagement, not how long they’ve really been together overall. Jennifer and Justin worked together in 2010, and it’s widely believed that Justin cheated on Heidi Bivens with Aniston while they worked together, then there was some relationship overlap in the spring of 2011 when Jennifer kept popping up with Justin all over LA and then suddenly Heidi moved out of the New York apartment she shared with Justin for more than a decade. I’m just sayin’.

As for the story… there’s not a lot there. L&S claims that Justin and Jennifer have been spending a lot of time apart, which is no surprise to any of us paying attention to JustJen. For the past three months, he’s been in Rome, New York and Texas. She’s been mostly in LA, although she was flying solo in NYC a few weeks ago for no reason. The idea behind this latest “Jen got dumped” rumor is that they’re still struggling to schedule an actual wedding date. Because even though Justin bought Jennifer a huge, cloudy quartz-looking diamond ring and proposed to her on HIS birthday (??), he doesn’t actually want to marry her.

According to Life & Style, Theroux “pulled the plug on their wedding just days before it was to go down.” A source says: “Justin was on the phone with Jen when she brought up an issue with the wedding menu…She asked him if he thought they should have salmon or shellfish — and he replied, ‘I’m not ready.’”

[From Life & Style, Jezebel]

Gossip Cop says it’s crap but…? I don’t know. I’ve been on JustJen high alert for a while. I think it’s weird that their schedules are so all-over-the-place, and I think it’s weird that they barely see each other except when he flies to her for the big appearances (Oscars, birthday parties). Then again, I’ve been saying that JustJen would not survive for a while and they actually have survived. Maybe they’re fine with being that permanently engaged couple that works thousands of miles away from each other for months at a time.

    Gosh- never saw this coming..

  2. jen says:

    It would be hilarious is ‘bisexual Brad’ was the one that broke them up… By hooking up with Justin. Justin does have a sort of rent boy vibe, with his biker pants and all

    • Luca76 says:

      Lol yes!

      • springingforward says:

        It is no coincidence that the report on Brad came out to take the heat off of Aniston; probably a story leaked by the Aniston camp…..

    • doofus says:

      Hey now! YOU should be writing for Star and L&S!!!

    • Cricket says:

      FTW! Great comment!

    • Liberty says:

      ….or without biker pants, while wearing heels and a long dark wig and couture, posing as an influential human rights attorney?

      ” a sort of rent boy vibe” <3

    • sauvage says:

      My darlings, you have it all wrong. Let’s not forget The Leg! Because what really, really, really happened, my sources (as in: my morning coffee and the pets) say is this: THE TRIANGLE OF DOOM STRUCK YET AGAIN!, only this time, one of the players was switched. So, this is what really, really, really happened: Bisexual Brad has had a thing for Justin for YEARS, you guys. Hence the crying and storming out balcony scene because The Leg was jealous, since bisexual Angie ALSO has a thing for Justin and wants him all for herself, having tried to seduce him for years. Of course, that only led to more crying from Brad, since he now felt rejected by both Justin AND Angie. ALL OF BRAD AND ANGIE’S FIGHTS EVER WERE ABOUT JUSTIN! They got married just to cover up the Justin drama that went on behind closed doors.

      Also, of course, what Evil Angie really, really, really wanted was to STEAL YET ANOTHER MAN from Jen!

      JustJen’s final argument was NOT about shellfish versus salmon. It’s way more complicated than that, was Jen really, really, really said was: “You have to decide whom you want to not marry. It’s either Angie, Brad or me!”

  3. whipmyhair says:

    Not to poke too many holes in a piece of journalistic excellence; but who decides the menu for there wedding “days before”?

    I’m just saying there are some talented fanfic writers out there who could do a much better job.

    • Esmom says:

      I’m with you. The “salmon or shellfish” last straw was pretty funny, though. Between this and the Brad Pitt story it’s quite a morning for manufactured BS.

      • Kitten says:

        F*cking HYSTERICAL.

        Maybe Justin just really hates seafood.

      • Size Does Matter says:

        Oh, I so agree.

        Jen “salmon or shellfish?”

        Justin “I have HAD IT. You’re the selfish one in this relationship, not me! I’m sick of hearing about your hair, and skin, and ‘career’ and closet! I HATE MEXICO. And you’re a stinking closet smoker. I’m done.”

        Jen “Um, I said shellfish, not selfish. I was talking about the menu, for our wedding in three days. Remember?”

        Justin “I KNOW WHAT I HEARD. DO NOT GASLIGHT ME. WE ARE FINISHED.”

      • Kitten says:

        LMAO

      • Boo says:

        Y’all are cracking me up. “I HATE MEXICO!” lolol So much truth in all the funnies.

      • Esmom says:

        Lol. I love CB.

    • anne_000 says:

      I agree it sounds odd that she’s deciding the menu just days before the wedding.

      Could it be because it’s like a shotgun wedding? After 990 days of engagement, she was thinking that he better her now or else? Gave him an ultimatum and it backfired on her?

      Anyhoo, I don’t know if L&S’ story is true or not, but I wouldn’t be surprised if JA leaked it to the press in order to have a surprise wedding soon afterwards in order to make wedding news a bigger deal than it actually is.

  4. Birdix says:

    Will anyone care if this couple makes it or not? Although the cover line about dark secrets always intrigues me, having stumbled across a few doozies myself.

    • crtb says:

      I care. She has had such a difficult time maintaining relationships, I would love to see her happily married, But then I am a romantic. I am happy to see Jennifer Love Hewitt married and pregnant. It was something that she always wished for. It makes me happy when people are in love and find a mate. Maybe cause love hasn’t always been easy for me, I can relate, So I wish them the best. Don’t understand why people are gleeful to see their relationship break up.

  5. Kiddo says:

    990 day engagement, LMAO. That’s hilarious. I can see the machinations with the staff: It looks like a bigger deal if we post the engagement in seconds. Nah, that’s overkill, what about minutes? DAYS, let’s do days! Okay, but you do the math.

    I think what it really boils down to is Justin hates salmon. That’s the deep dark secret!

    • Kitten says:

      Actually, Justin is allergic to shellfish and he can’t believe that Jen wouldn’t know this after being in a relationship with him for 1,825 days.

      Somewhere, Brad is crying. Just because….

  6. Guesto says:

    It’s probably as true as Brad’s 3,652* day rentboy funfest.

    (*2 leap years included.)

  7. Hausfrau says:

    People who actually want to be married to each other make it happen, regardless of “scheduling conflicts.” I don’t have anything against these two, but I can confidently say that, if it hasn’t happened in 990 days, it just ain’t gonna happen.

    • sills says:

      Even moreso at their level of income–they can literally pay someone to plan and organize every detail from A to Z, they don’t have to take five minutes out of their lives for it. One of these two does not want to make it down the aisle, period.

    • OTHER RENEE says:

      I agree. But then again Amy Adams was engaged for way linger and did finally marry her baby daddy.

      • Virgilia Coriolanus says:

        I think Amy Adams had personal, family issues that led to her not getting married. Same with her only having one kid. She grew up in a big family, probably felt left out, or saw how hard it was to raise a big family like that–especially after her parents divorced. Maybe I’m just projecting, but after reading that, I felt that Amy was basically saying that she had her own issues to deal with regarding marriage, but in the meantime she was in a committed relationship.

        I get it–my mom felt the same way. She didn’t get married until she was 34, because she didn’t ever feel that marriage was something necessary–because she’d never seen a good marriage.

  8. paola says:

    ‘Blindsided just DAYS before the wedding’??
    ‘The dark secret that destroyed them’?????

    Maybe Justin is dating Brad online.
    ahahah

    Who writes this stuff????

  9. Lori says:

    I think she’s the hold up. I don’t think she really wants to get married again, Just like I’ve never believed she wanted kids. Nothng wrong with that………..just stop the lying.

    • bettyrose says:

      “Jen uninterested in marriage. Happy with her life as it is.”. Nope. Not a good headline.

    • crtb says:

      why is she lying? People are not allowed to change their minds?
      George Clooney said he would never get married again. LOL he changed his mind and he can’t stop fcuking talking about it. Many people say they do/don’t want kids and they have a change of heart. That is life… we are allowed to change our minds.

  10. mememe says:

    Well it does say 990 day engagement, not 990 day relationship. So…it correct. If this story is at all believable.

  11. Shambles says:

    Jennifer has been dumped and Brad is cheating on Angie with male porn stars. Coincidence?!?! I predict that Jen, Brad, and a gaggle of rent boys will soon have a naked, pot smoking hot tub party. Angie will come home and fly into a rage, beating Brad senseless with one of her limited edition Maleficent Louboutins. He will explain the scars away by telling us that he tripped while carrying too many bags of hot Cheetos up the stairs during a power outage. As far as Jen, Angie will strangle her with a rent boy’s leopard-print mankini, causing her to lose her voice and be forced to shill smart water through sign language.
    You’re welcome.
    *bows*

  12. chaine says:

    This is my fantasy about the reason for the breakup: “She asked him if he thought they should have salmon or shellfish”– and he said, “Hang on just a sec, I’ve got to pay the rent boy.” Headline: “Justin Dumps Tragic Jennifer in Rent-Boy Bust-up.”

  13. GoodNamesAllTaken says:

    Oh, please, they’ll never get married. If they wanted to, they would have already.

  14. sophie says:

    So they know he dumped her “days before” the wedding but they don’t know the date the wedding was actually scheduled. Just like the other story that said he dumped her on their wedding day but never said when the supposed wedding date was. Just like all the “she’s pregnant” stories.

  15. Luca76 says:

    I’m telling you this is an Oprah Steadman situation. No marraige/no breakup.

    • tracking says:

      yeah, whatever they have seems to work for them. However long it lasts, they seem committed. Other than work separations and short NYC trips, they seem to nest at home. Nothing too weird about that. They have above-average freedom since they are sans kiddos.

      • Virgilia Coriolanus says:

        Which would be fine if neither of them made out like they couldn’t wait to get married. Last time Justin had an RC/premiere (which was last summer), he said that they had “hot feet” to get married (in response to being asked if either of them had cold feet)………and then said they had no date. They had plenty of chances last year and this year to get married.

        Shoot, if I were them, I’d have gone down to the court house, got married w/a judge, and then thrown a big party. In LA or NYC. Rent out a giant ballroom, hire the same caterer for her birthday parties wear a giant dress if she wants, and get her hairstylist to be the officiator if they wants to repeat their vows in front of their friends and family.

      • Anastasia says:

        Other than work separations? They seem to rarely ever be together.

      • tracking says:

        Maybe he was joking with the “hot feet” comment? People who aren’t married by 40 aren’t usually dying to do so. Maybe they will, maybe they won’t. She did say his mom wants a real live wedding. Other sites have info about his mom having holiday meals with them, regular pics of him riding his motorcycle near their house, attending CC’s film premiere together etc. They just aren’t shown or discussed here, whether because they’re boring or don’t fit the narrative. They seem to have a perfectly nice relationship, however long it lasts. Who knows how long that will be, not saying they will last forever (as Hollywood couples rarely do). Lots of mutual friends say how great they are together–and they actually know them.

  16. minx says:

    The details sound fake but I do think we’ll be hearing about a breakup sooner than later.
    I have no problem believing they got engaged as a response to the J/P engagement.

  17. Jaygee says:

    I think working and therefore living apart for months is part of the deal of being an actor. Now does that mean nothing’s wrong with JA and JT? Nope. I don’t know if I see these two growing old together. Too much self-involvement on both sides.

  18. pk says:

    I’ve never got the vibe that they were crazy in love, more like Jen likes the PR JustJen brings her.

  19. Helen says:

    I bought the National Enquirer for years and years until it finally tipped me over the edge by only ever having fabricated cover stories about the Aniston/Pitt/Jolie triangle.

    It was kind of interesting really that they just used those stock characters to play out every possible relationship scenario, but it got really boring after about a year.

    I don’t believe anything I read about any of those 3 people now. Especially as J Aniston seems to stir up such bile in people which is weird as she seems like such a benign presence. She didn’t actually hand-write all those sappy headlines about her and her ex, you know.

    That was journalists writing them because “X Betrayed, Brokenhearted!” Sells magazines and newspapers.

    • Josephine says:

      I think she’s relatively benign as well, but I also think that her PR guy regularly releases info for People, among others (remember the “private” engagement photo spread?). It’s well known that publicists have relationships with the rags and will use them for positive (or really any) attention. Other folks do it as well, but Jen’s “every girl” image was definitely manufactured, and being left for the bad girl of the celeb world was part of her story. Lots of PR people paint their clients as the girl next door; I just think it’s time for a new image, especially since the girl next door label doesn’t really suit her.

      • Helen says:

        Good point, but I sort of don’t hold it against her still because PR is part of the game, right? I mean Hollywood is tough, especially for women, and she has kept her career going where others have faltered.

        It just seems like people take it all so personally. And she’s funny, I wouldn’t queue for an Aniston flick, but I enjoy her performances.

      • Josephine says:

        @ Helen. I don’t hold it against her, I just think it worked for her for awhile, despite her occasional half-hearted protests of the label as victim. I actually think her PR image is working against her now that she’s a bit older (and no one cares) and I’ve been waiting to see if her image would evolve a bit. But like her look, her image doesn’t seem to have evolved at all. Which is too bad, because she has some comedic talent and could be doing better stuff than she has been doing.

  20. Jaded says:

    Maybe she found out about his secret engagement to Terry Richardson?

  21. Zombie Shortcake says:

    *”Queen Drags Kate Back To Palace”*

  22. Justin is Jenn’s rent boy

  23. Jayna says:

    People believe this stuff just because it’s printed?

    Here’s other Life and Style covers about Jen in the last few years. Life and Style has a lot of covers of her in different variations of dumped, married, pregnant, on and on.

    March 2014. “Jen’s Showdown with Justin. Marry Me. I’m Pregnant.”

    2009: “Finally a Baby. So Now She Can Shut the Fvck Up, Right?”

    August 2011. “Fertility Doctor Gives Jen the Good News. It’s Twins.”

    August 2014. “Jen’s Humiliation. Dumped on her Wedding Day.”

  24. Dante says:

    You know, if they want a future together then they will make it happen. Some people just cohabitate, some have kids as well, and some get married. There is no marriage, no kids and I have seen no evidence of them making a concerted effort to live under the same roof. These two are not poor or middle class, they are insanely rich and could be together if that was what they truly wanted. The story is crap because no one plans a wedding menu days before the wedding. But I do think this is all laying the groundwork for a breakup announcement.

    • Peggy says:

      Where did you get Justin is rich from?
      Dad is a lawyer with second wife and family, Mom is a writer.
      Justin was in a few films and made a few appearances on a couple of TV Shows.
      After a couple of trips to rehab, Heidi has been the bread earner in that relationship.
      Was Justin Ever on a talk show or a magazine before cheating with Jennifer?
      Justin is not going anywhere, the poseur never had it so good, a few appearances, be any place she is not. Did she go to Houston yet? Humidity too much for the extensions.
      He was like a shinny brass penny at the Award Shows, he used to be at fashion shows with Heidi, he is just a user, but when you’re a competition with yourself, you have to take what you can get.

  25. funcakes says:

    Please! These two have been broken up for a while. Like no one saw this coming. Justin is a confirmed bachelor.
    And let’s not forget that she got engage because her ex did it first instead of just press releasing a short congratulations so the press would just stay off her butt.

    Then she looked like a dumbass when all the excuses started coming up about busy schedules. Plus she had movies coming out and she thought she was getting an Oscar so she probably begged him to just play along until everything is over with.

    How much you want to bte he’s going to make an appearance with his young bohemian girlfriend he been dating for months any day now? Another bet the young girlfriend will get pregnant by the end of the year.

    More poor Jen press coming our way.

    • epiphany says:

      Of course, they’ve already broken up, I ‘ve saying this for months. There was no showdown, no “dumped at the altar” – they broke up around the time of the Oscars. They are still friends; she wants to keep up the charade of having a man in her life, and he’s fine going along with it. If there are any other public appearances were she wants to be seen on his arm, he’ll be happy to oblige. Then, they’ll return to their respective lives. Sometime towards the end of summer, when she just happens to be on her way out of town – Cabo maybe – her PR team will announce the break up

  26. Madpoe says:

    So it’s only been 990 days of dried out Jen stories? Whew! Felt like a short step of a billion days.

  27. Iheartgossip says:

    Oh Please. Another b.s. story to sell mags.

  28. MadMenluv says:

    Damn it Justin! You couldn’t wait 10 more days so we could have made it a 1,000 day break up??? How shellfish of you!!

  29. skippy says:

    If people want to get married, they do.
    I don’t see getting married for either of those two.
    I don’t think they are interested at all.
    Just my opinion.

  30. kanyekardashian says:

    She isn’t going to marry him anytime soon, and my guess is it’s over money. This woman is worth about $300 mil – what’s he got? He lives in her $21 million mansion, for goodness sake. She’s no dummy. If she truly wanted to marry him, she would have done it by now. It takes literally two minutes to recite vows in a judge’s office or being rich people, she could have brought a judge to them. A wedding is a party, a marriage is something different altogether, and an engagement after three years has little chance of becoming a marriage.
