After all of the Uncool Bermuda Triangle messiness between Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Aniston, you would have thought that Jennifer Aniston would never, ever go for a guy in a long-term relationship, right? Wrong. When Jennifer worked with Justin Theroux in 2010, he had a long-term, live-in girlfriend named Heidi Bivens. It was widely believed that Justin and Jenner had an affair in 2010, then started seeing more of each other in the spring of 2011. The “are they or aren’t they dating?” thing went on for a few months until suddenly Justin and Jennifer were “official” and Heidi suddenly moved out of the apartment she had shared with Justin for a decade. We know about the timeline because Heidi’s mother spoke to the press several times in 2011, and Heidi’s mom also basically said that Jennifer and Heidi met face-to-face after Jennifer had “homewrecked” Heidi and Justin’s relationship. Well, Heidi’s mom is still talking about how Justin left Heidi devastated.
Justin Theroux‘s long-term lover is still heartbroken from their split five years after he dumped her for Jennifer Aniston, RadarOnline.com can exclusively reveal. Costume designer Heidi Bivens, 40, who dated The Leftovers star for 14 years, has been unable to move on and find a new boyfriend since the brutal breakup, her mother Marilyn said in a shocking tell-all interview. Marilyn, 71, also revealed coldhearted Theroux lied to her daughter about his and Aniston’s budding romance after the star couple first met. Marilyn, who lives in Annandale, Virginia, once considered Theroux, 44, her son after welcoming him into their family for 14 years — until he betrayed them for a romance with the 47-year-old Friends actress.
“My baby’s heart was pierced. It was a terrible time,” Marilyn, holding back tears, told Radar after reciting a prayer. “Heidi told me what Justin had told her, that something was going to be written about him and Jennifer, that something was going on between them and he wanted her to know that it was nothing, there was nothing to it. Out of his own mouth he told my daughter there was nothing to [the news he was involved with Jennifer].”
After word Theroux and Aniston’s relationship was confirmed, Heidi spoke to her mom on the phone to break the bad news.
“And my sweet Heidi she calls me and says, ‘Oh mommy,’” said Marilyn. “I was going through cancer at the time. It was a time that hurt our family.”
Marilyn said Theroux developed a “dark and sinister” side as his acting career took off by constantly “changing faces” and struggled to separate his life from the characters he would play.
“Being an actor and the parts that you choose to play, you become those characters,” noted Marilyn. “You have to enter into everything they are to actually become. I remember once Heidi was speaking about one of his parts, she told him he played it so well and he told her, ‘I was that character.’ And I thought when you’re in that path and continue to change faces and patterns, you become the dark and sinister characters. There are children of light and children of darkness. His world was very dark.” And so is Jennifer’s, insisted the mom. “We have a choice, even if you’re not a Christian you know what’s good; you know the choice of darkness and the people who are acting out that darkness. Justin is married now to Jennifer. They are, I believe, alike in spirit. They complement one another the spirit of the world brought them together.”
Asked if Bivens will ever overcome her heartbreak and find love again, Marilyn wasn’t so confident.
“Heidi’s wound is closed but there’s still a scar and we’re praying for a Godly man to come and find her because she’s ready,” said Marilyn. Despite Theroux blindsiding her daughter, Marilyn refused to condemn the actor for his betrayal.
“It would be opening up a grave and exhuming the body. They were together 14 years. I would go and visit, he would visit with Heidi at Thanksgiving and Christmas. I forgive him,” she said of the star, who never reached out again to the family or Bivens after the split.
God, I do feel sorry for Heidi even after all of these years. She always handled the breakup with class though – she never did a tell-all interview, and I sort of suspected that Aniston’s people might have cut Heidi a check in exchange for an NDA (too bad Aniston didn’t get Heidi’s mom to sign one, eh?). Heidi was with Justin for 14 YEARS. She was with him from the age of 20 to 34. They had built a home together. And she had to move out of that home after he (allegedly) cheated on her and lied to her. Just remember that the next time everyone’s like “oh, poor Jennifer Aniston.” Nope. JustJen is THE DARKNESS.

I feel bad for her.She’s really pretty btw!
She is really pretty. A natural beauty. She is better off but I’m sure it was extremely hard for her. I see him a bit like Eddie Cibrian. Went for the money. He has a better actor but Jen is loaded. Oh & after all her posturing about Brad lacking a sensitivity chip she sure ended up the predator here.
Totally agree about the predator bit and I always hated the fact that Aniston totally got a free pass from the press and public while Angelina has suffered the most disgusting vilification even though (in my opinion) there was never any affair between her and Pitt to begin with
@Soulsister: I am also pretty angry over how the press and public gave Jennifer a pass over this. They are still doing it by claiming Justin wasn’t married so it doesn’t count as cheating.
Even now the press doesn’t mention this and only talks about her so called pregnancy.
It is similar. Even the length of the long-term relationship.
@Snappyfish, @Soulsister, and @ Ava …
Damn skippy. It was so obvious that Jennifer and Justin were hooking up prior to Jennifer’s ‘Let me introduce you to my new man!’ dinner in mid-May 2011, not even a full month after Justin and Heidi were photographed smiling and all loved up at the April 28, 2011 “House of Blue Leaves” Broadway premiere.
Jennifer coincidently became a NYC ‘homegirl’ in January of 2011, spending the majority of her time there and buying those two Condos as an ‘Operation Justin’ home base. Walking about NYC hand in hand, having drinks with Uncle Terry in a bar where they sat for those smiling photos with coats they wouldn’t have worn in May and June right next to them.
And Heidi’s mother is right … Jennifer released the evil big time when she had her PR Team leak an anonymous ‘source’ story ‘supposedly’ from one of Justin’s friends claiming that Justin and Heidi hadn’t been together in a long time and that their relationship had been of the ‘on-again, off-again’ variety at best … Jennifer’s fans bought this hook, line, and sinker despite the fact that Heidi and Justin had been living together for nearly a decade. But the ‘source’ soon stopped talking after someone else leaked a link to that photo of Heidi and Justin together at “House of Blue Leaves” on April 28, 2011.
And Jennifer’s Hens grasped on to that lie–despite all the obvious facts to the contrary–and started mean-girding Heidi, saying it was all ‘her’ fault that she got blindsided and heartbroken because she’d obviously stayed all those years with a man who never ever loved her. Sweet, innocent, all-natural, girl next door Jennifer Aniston was blameless and hadn’t done anything wrong at all because, hey, Justin and Heidi weren’t married, Justin’s friend (the anonymous source) said they hadn’t been together for 14-years and weren’t together when Justin and Jennifer began dating, and Heidi was stupid.
God I hate ‘auto correct!’ I meant to say that Jennifer’s Hens started mean-girling Heidi.
Snappyfish & soulsister – 100%!
And the mother was going through cancer when Justin cheated – he knew Heidi would be upset and focused on her mother so he had free rain to cheat with Jennifer.
Isn’t he wonderful????
Oh please, I’m not a fan of either Jen or Justin, and I’m sure it was awful for Heidi as it would be for anyone but it was six years ago, time to move on. Seriously. If he’s a douche she’s better off without him or if he just wasn’t into it anymore she’s still better off without him. It happens to everyone. At some point you have to just get on with things. The world isn’t always going to send you roses, you know?
Oh pleeeeeze! There isn’t a woman alive who hasn’t been hurt when a relationship ened. It’s been six years. Time to move on. I dated a guy for 12 years and he married someone else. Guess what! He made the right choice. As a husband he is a controling domineering ass. He married a woman who woupld put up with is BS. I am so happy that I dodged that bullet. I would hope that this woman has moved on and found someone who loves and appreciates her.
Well Jane & crtb, it’s too bad Aniston didn’t “move on” nearly a decade after her 5-year marriage to Brad ended. No, she had to milk her wronged woman narrative in the tabloids so much that it was the main thing that kept her relevant in pop culture for years. And then the stupidity of thinking that the soul of her dead “first love” sent her Justin to make up for what they lost is the icing on her pity party cake.
Sabrine: 5 years in a marriage pales significantly when compared to a committed relationship of 14 years.
Here’s Justin Theroux wearing a tee shirt promoting a movie Heidi Bivens worked on as stylist three years ago, a gig she got after the break up.
Perhaps as a consolation prize.
http://www.justjared.com/2016/06/24/justin-theroux-wears-a-spring-breakers-movie-tank-top/
Clearly sending a message. Not a nice guy.
So pretty!
Very pretty. Probably a bit embarrassed by mom right now. I imagine there is no shortage of men interested in Heidi. She’s perhaps more discerning now than when she was twenty.
Oh please. Relationships end every day if one or both of the parties involved are unhappy. He moved on. So what. They were not married. He had every right to end the relationship if he chose to do so. Not sure why the mother is whining on about this five years after the relationship ended. It is not her business to speak to the press about her daughter’s love life.
“They were not married”.
Those are words that can come back to haunt you later in life. If the only parameters you have for respecting another person’s commitment is through the institution of marriage, then that is incredibly disrespectful.
@Bridget
That is what freaks me out. Seriously–I see this with Jennifer and a few others on this site–they were not married is the only defense. I honestly hope people do not really think like this, because WOW.
And if anyone thinks dissolving a relationship like Heidi and Justin’s was easy because they were not married, clearly hasn’t watched enough Judge Judy…..
I agree…that girl is gorgeous. I especially like her hair that dark red brown color.
Stunning….and he goes from that to….?
I’ll just say dude is one *ambitious* middle aged struggling ac-TOR and leave it at that. Lmao
Ha!
This!!!^^^ my thoughts exactly…she looks gorgeous in that reddish brown hair tone!
I would clamp down my mommas mouth if she kept giving these types of interviews about me and my heartbreak. I would not be able to shut her down fast enough. While I completely understand her rage at what happened, I would not be able to handle her blabbing to the press about it, which to me seems far more embarrassing after all of these years.
I always thought this was shady AF of Justin and Jen, and always wildly admired Heidi for taking the ultimate high road.
Did people say that when Jennifer Aniston’s friends were talking to the press and media after her divorce.. I think not.. it was Hey they are supporting their friend. Even years later.
I don’t know…maybe? all I’m saying is that if it were MY mom who was still talking to the press about how broken I was and painting me as the victim this many years later I would tell her to stop, after all these years I wouldn’t want it talked about again and again by my own mother. That would embarrass me a lot.
Not sure how Jen got into this though?
Let me explain my reference.
I don’t think her mother should be talking about it.. but my comment is how quickly people forget and how there is this blatant double standard. Jennifer Aniston’s friends talked about her divorce. It was FRIEND POWER.. And the people that are her fans found nothing wrong with that. In fact praised her GIRLS GIRLS for standing by and supporting her. But now Heidi’s crazy mom needs to STFU.
Yeah, lisa2, still not seeing it. Sorry. I wasn’t making a reference to Jen and her friends though. I was talking about a relationship between a mother and daughter. Not about what Jens friends said at the time of the incident. It’s so strange that was a comment to my comment, I guess is what I’m saying?
@lisa2
Funny thing is.. Even Aniston’s best friends and family said Brad was a stand up guy who did not cheat on her. She even concurred herself.
That’s what made her subsequent years long pity party then sniping and snarking via surrogate (Handler) at Angelina, even more shady. It was done for press and publicity. Who was she, if not ‘poor Jen.’ She even roped Oprah into the scam.
Notice there seems to be a rift between O and Aniston.
Her mother shouldn’t talk about it. Maybe Justin was running like hell from her mother, not Heidi. On the other hand, Heidi’s well rid of him. The guy just exudes douchiness everywhere he goes, I’ve never found him remotely attractive. He’ll pay though. I imaging a life with Jen and her hair and skin and Cabo would be fun for a while, but after a few years it would be like purgatory.
100 Little Darling. Heidi kept quiet for a reason. She seems to be shy and a private person. I would be mortified if my mom did this. Move on mama Bivens.
Totally agree. I can’t imagine what her mom thinks she is doing. Even if true, if you want your daughter to find another making her seem like a victim with a lot of issues about a very unfair past breakup isn’t really a turn on to a lot of men. Great gossip, but bad for Heidi. First I felt sorry for her about Justin being such a jerk, and now about her Mom and her big mouth.
I agree, she seems to have wanted to keep it all private (more likely than some NDA conspiracy theory, I think) and now her mom is bringing it all up again and painting her in kind of a sad light. I hope she’s really just fine with her life, moving on and happy, and her mom just got a little taste of the attention.
Yeah, I’d dig a hole 100 feet deep. Poor Heidi. I can see why her mom would think this was a good plan but clearly this is a misfire. Yikes. I hope everybody just moves on. Heidi doesn’t deserve this sort of attention but on the bright side, at least now I know that Jennifer Anniston is not a Good Woman. I always suspected it.
I’m with ya LittleDarling. If I were famous and my mom gave an interview after a breakup, she’d be tooting my horn – saying how my career had skyrocketed, that I was having amazing life experiences (scuba diving on the great barrier reef, drinking tea with the queen, discovering ancient pyramids), and that I’ve never been so beautiful or fit or happy.
Not to mention the fact that this is Radar, and they’re essentially predators. She didn’t reach out to them, I’m sure they called her poor mom and she just started talking. I’d be embarrassed and I’d be furious with the invasion of privacy by Radar. They’ve done this before, talking to people’s elderly grandmother’s and s*^!
Fully agree. Man, I’d be so mortified if my mom said that to the press.
Poor Heidi, I’ve also been blessed with a mother who likes to talk to about my business to anyone that would listen. Girl I feel you 🙁
All that talk of godliness makes me side-eye this a little. That and infantilizing her adult child. Hopefully Heidi has moved on and is fine and her mom’s the only one who is still sore.
+1
This whole thing made me cringe. Yikes, embarrassing.
Yeah, this is embarrassing. Child of darkness? I do think Justin probably treated Heidi poorly but it’s been what, five years? I’m sure she’s moved on with her life, but her mom makes it sound like she hasn’t got out of bed yet. I would not be happy.
“… we’re praying for a Godly man to come and find her because she’s ready,”
This sounds like something the Duggar mom would say! Does her daughter need to be rescued by a man? SMH
I would be furious with and so embarrassed by my mom for speaking to a tabloid saying this kind of stuff, especially because Biven has never said anything on the topic.
Yes, Heidi sounds like a proper sacrificial lamb from that quote. Mom really should keep her nose out of this and mouth shut.
Heidi is beautiful and so young looking.
Sad that Angelina got ripped to shreds and Jen got a pass. First impression is everything, isn’t it? Sexy vixen vs America’s sweetheart. Sickening
Yeah, I was rolling my eyes and when I got to that line I almost choked. Something tells me Heidi is/will be doing ok.
As for what happened, we will never really know. People seem so quick to assume Jennifer broke them apart but chances are something was already broken. It’s never as simple as people want it to be.
Yes. This. If she, herself, had a statement to make then that’s one thing. But, her mother coming out on her behalf this way, although I get mom’s are protective, was not what I personally would have wanted my mom to do. It’s a bit sad and can be looked at as overly hyperbolic and religiously fanatical…not to mention acting as if they’re all just praying for the broken up with girl to finally find a man and ease her pain. Oh no. I think I would not be home for the holidays this year. Unless she wanted her mom to do this…just misjudged the messenger. Then again, live n let live. Just be prepared for the reaction of the public.
Agreed 1000 percent. And forgive my natural bias against the loud hardcore Christian set…but if she’s so religious how did she feel about Heidi and Justin living together outside of wedlock? Is that a different kind of darkness?
Poor Heidi. She’s probably dying of embarrassment.
Birdix +1
To Esmom: No one wanted to believe Brad and Jen’s marriage was already broken. Oh no. They blamed it all on Angelina. Now how can people write in here and say maybe this 14-year relationship was already broken and never, never gave any credence to the fact that Brad said the marriage had been over for a while. Out of the horse’s mouth. I believe Jen did cheat With Justin, knew he was in a relationship and just didn’t care. I also think Heidi was given money and a NDA to sign. Good for her if she got money and I hope it is a lot. It truly sickens me the way Jolie was portrayed as a scarlet woman. Even Jen’s “Friends” wishing death on her children. But Jen was given a pass as having done nothing wrong. For that matter, so was her husband, Justin. Although I truly think Heidi will do and can do better. And I say good for her. And it’s not Heidi’s fault that her mama chooses to talk to those scummy folk at Radar.
Same here! This is a grown woman were talking about, not a 14 year old facing her first breakup. Mom needs to keep her nose out of her daughters business and keep her comments to herself!
@MiniMii, who wrote: “Same here! This is a grown woman were talking about, not a 14 year old facing her first breakup. Mom needs to keep her nose out of her daughters business and keep her comments to herself!”
Heidi was 19 or 20-years-old when she and Justin got together and they were in a committed relationship for 14-years. It could very well have been Heidi’s “first adult breakup.”
@Emma you may be right about it being her first major adult breakup, but as the mother of a 14 year old girl if I ever told the world about my daughter’s personal life in that matter, she would be mortified. I just don’t think that would change whether 14 or 40 or her first breakup or her millionth. Just a really bad idea.
Since the y were in a long term living- in relationship, she’d have been his de facto common law wife in some countries/ states. I bet it was very bad for her. If they gave aniston a pass for the five years after Brad people cover and other professional PR shenanigans , then this candid woman gets a pass from me.
This. I can understand the hurt and heart break, but her mother is making her sound like a small child.
I have to agree with Ennie.
Yeah, it feels a little like a tabloid taking advantage of an elderly woman so into her religion that she comes off a little crazy. I wouldn’t put too much stock in this being representative of Heidi Blevins’ true feelings.
My reaction exactly, Birdix.
Poor woman. Sigh. I wish her all the happiness in the world.
People move on from relationships. What’s strange to me is how you could accept a proposal from someone after dating for only a year and that person just got out of a 14 year relationship. Any sane individual’s radar would go off.
Actually, I’ve been shocked how often a guy who lives with someone for a decade without getting married, will suddenly split and he’s married to someone else within a year! I swear with some men it’s more about timing than finding the most simpatico partner. If what you want is marriage or a definite commitment, demand it. When I said something like this before, everyone jumped on me for sounding so old fashioned, and it’s true marriages fall apart all the time too, but one usually has more legal protection within a marriage, and from what I’ve seen, if a guy refuses to marry within a decade, he’s no catch anyway, especially if he doesn’t want kids but she might. Then they’re together 10 or 15 years, and they split, and a year later his new wife is pregnant and his long time love is cast aside. Like Angelica Huston wasting all those years with Jack Nicholson: ugh! Heidi is gorgeous, and her mom should not be exposing her daughter in the media like this. It should be up to Heidi to share or not share.
@Nikki, isn’t this weird? Men who have looong relationships without marriage, then breakup and boom within the next year he’s married. Always wondered how this could happen and how offensive to the ex.
This exact scenario happened to Megan Follows, the Canadian actress on Reign.
Yes my cousin did that to his ex. They were together for years, then after a weird break up, he met and married his current wife within months. His ex was blindsided and it was very uncomfortable, because she was actually hoping they would get back together.
RE: “If what you want is marriage or a definite commitment, demand it.” >>> Agreed. I knew someone that she her bf were dating for 7 years at the time. She wanted marriage, but he didn’t. She said she’s never give him an ultimatum, though. That’s great, but the only option is to get over or find someone else ( and not complain to your coworkers all the time).
Also, there was an article I read a while back that said after 6 years on average, if a guy hasn’t proposed, he never will. I don’t think that I’ve personally heard any stories that dispute that. Of course, I know they’re out there, but it seems so rare that the article had some truth to it.
Yeah, once a couple settles in to living together for an extended period only a major event in their relationship will take him down the aisle. We are talking baby or death of a child or near breakup or financial distress that is resolved by signing the papers. Seriously, unless you have both explicitly made marriage your relationship goal its unlikely he will marry after such a long cohabitation period.
It happens all the time. ALL THE TIME. When Jon Hamm and Jennifer Westfeldt split, I figured he would marry and have kids with the very next woman he meets. May happen yet!
You make a great point about legal protection. Marriage is a legal contract and if you are combining your household with someone else, you better keep your finances separate or start expecting some sort of legal contract to protect your assets. I have no problem with people living together without being married on moral grounds. I really don’t care. But when it becomes long-term or children are involved, that marriage certificate is about so much more than romance.
If one person wants to be married and the other holds out, then I agree that if it’s important enough they should walk away. That isn’t to say that couples can’t be committed without being married, but more the fact that both people need to be on the same page. Though I do agree with the fact that there is a lot of legal protection to be had with marriage.
FYI some states still have common law marriage, but NY is not one of them.
I feel like stuff like that happens more often than people realize. Often if a relationship goes bad, you learn what you don’t want. And then when you find what you do want, it can happen quickly.
I agree with you. My sister dated someone 10 years her junior for several years. He moved on to someone younger and had a baby. She is too old now to have one. If you want marriage and babies, tell the person. If they say no way, move on.
This story caught me though because I can’t believe the hypocrisy of Jennifer Aniston and her friends. Remember how her and Chelsea Handler were always after Angelina Jolie? Even though Heidi Blevin’s mother seems a bit overly religious and judgmental, I think she is telling the truth. Now we know Jennifer Aniston did the same thing as Angelina, but acted like she was the good girl. I too believe that Jennifer Aniston paid Heidi Bivens off to stay quiet. She made so much money off of people feeling sorry for her because she was publicly cheated on by the famous movie star. She didn’t want to lose that. I now regret even more seeing those stupid romantic comedies Aniston did.
Heidi kinda looks like John Kennedy Jr.’s wife…Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy…very pretty…
She is very pretty.. I like her darker hair better. She looks so much younger than her years.
her mother is talking not her. She has been very silent. So not sure why she is getting negative. She seems very HARMLESS to me..
My thoughts too. The resemblance is spooky.
She really is very pretty.
Is she seriously 40? I saw the pics and was like, “ewww, she’s young for him.”
Can’t wait to see how the Jen hens are going to spin this one – Jennifer wrecked a 14 year relationship. She cheated with Justin for months and then flaunted the relationship in public – who is missing the sensitivity chip now?
I firmly think Jennifer knew this will hit the news so she called the paps Celebs calls for publicity and told them she will be in Bahamas. Then she did her well used is she/isn’t she pregnant trick to get the media to focus on that.
It worked because the mainstream media haven’t picked up this confirmation and instead talk about Jennifer’s fathom pregnancy.
Your use of HEN is offensive.. to some. but maybe you should have said.. LOON.. that words seems to go over better.
Why is the word hen offensive? (Sincere question)
I don’t know.. but it was said on an Aniston thread. I didn’t get it either.
I don’t think this story would have made waves anyway. The reason the Jen/Brad/Ang thing got so much press is because they’re all hugely famous. Situations like that happen all the time (look at Julia Roberts’ marriage), but don’t create much interest when most people involved are nobodies.
Maybe the same way Brangeloonies spin their affair 😒 It’s been a decade and some of you STILL can’t let go of this nonsense.
Justin was wrong for betraying his partner just as Brad was wrong for betraying his wife, either way, the situations are the same–I never blamed Angie and never would because Brad was the grown ass man, same for Justin.
As for the sensitivity chip, unless Jennifer and Justin did an entire magazine spread dedicated to marital bliss shortly after, I’m not really seeing the comparison.
That spread was Brad’s visionary baby and I could see how hurtful it could be to his wife at the time (or ex, unlike some folks, I don’t have their relationship timeline committed to memory).
And no, I’m not a Jen hen….
Angie > Anniston any day of the week
That being said, I can view the situations without rouse colored glasses, more importantly without dragging down other women to do it ✌
Umm, you must have missed the photoshoot they did with Uncle Terry shortly after they got together. How do you think Heidi felt?
Actually they did do a spread in a magazine dedicated to marital bliss shortly after. Did you for getting uncle Terry’s photo shoot of them or photo shoot of them when prompting that movie they did together.
TheOtherMaria, it was proven Brad and Angelina didn’t have an affair. Even Aniston HERSELF, said so! So Anistonloonies can stop with that bs. The *fact* is, it was proven via photos and time frames that Aniston and Theroux DID have an affair. As far as the W photoshoot goes, that was for WORK!! That was to promote Mr & Mrs Smith. It….was….not…..personal. It was WORK! A bit over one week after Heidi fled the apartment she shared with Justin, the weekend Aniston and Theroux’ affair was made public, Theroux and Aniston released intimate sexual poses and photos done by prno photographer Terry Richardson! Talk about a sensitivity chip missing!!! They had no MOVIE OBLIGATION to explain that!!!!
@The Other Maria, who wrote: “As for the sensitivity chip, unless Jennifer and Justin did an entire magazine spread dedicated to marital bliss shortly after, I’m not really seeing the comparison. … That spread was Brad’s visionary baby and I could see how hurtful it could be to his wife at the time (or ex, unlike some folks, I don’t have their relationship timeline committed to memory).”
Well, please allow me to help you with the Timeline. Brad told Jennifer he was leaving her and ‘why’ he was leaving her while they were on vacation with Courtney Cox and David Arquette in December 2005 (Courtney confirmed this in Jennifer’s 2005 “Vanity Fair” interview). Jennifer and Brad made a ‘joint’ separation announcement in the first week of January 2005. Jennifer filed for divorce on March 23, 2005. The first photos of Brad and Angie hit tabloids near the end of April 2005.
In April 2005 and for a LONG time afterwards, Jennifer Aniston pretended to be a victim who was blindsided by her husband (and encouraged the misconception that she found out when the public did) … even though she had filed for divorce a month earlier. Jennifer Aniston began dating Vince Vaughn during the first week of July 2005 (they officially broke up in December 2006). So exactly how hurt and upset ‘was’ Jennifer Aniston when the “W” photo spread was released?
That “W” photo spread titled “Domestic Bliss” was shot earlier in 2005 but wasn’t released until July 1, 2005. It was a promotion for their hit film “Mr. and Mrs. Smith,” which was released on June 10, 2005.

@theothermaria
Yea, you say you’re an Angelina fan yet you choose not only to disregard and I guess disbelieve her words: that she would never have an affair. You also choose to not believe Brad who says he didn’t cheat… and the big kicker is you refuse to believe Aniston who says she believes her then husband never cheated and Aniston’s friends who say same.
Yet despite all that you talk about ‘betrayal? ‘
Of what and of who? You have 3 out of 3 telling you that your version is FOS. Who else do you need to weigh in?
That proves you’re being disingenuous.
As for the spread – Brad’s idea, a Now legendary Steven Klein spread to promote their film which was about a marriage on the brink as was the spread. It was symbiotic and it worked.
You attack Brad and Angie, but married Justin Bateman sucking on Aniston’s toes (heave) in a spread is fine? Their movie was not about toe sucking… So….
Wait a minute didn’t we slam Jennifer Aniston and say get over it when she talked about being wronged by Brad? Shouldn’t we be saying the same about this person? It has been 5 years….
Well Jennifer is still going on about her marriage to Brad even after 10 years so Heidi still has another 5 years.
Yes, mostly because OTHERS keep bringing it up!
Actually Heidi has 10 or so since she hasn’t said a word.
@lisa2
Has Heidi ever been interviewed?
@Merritt..
not to my knowledge. all I remember after they broke up she was quotes as saying something like she wouldn’t talk unless they did.
Nope bondbabe, Aniston has clearance for all questions and articles so she approves whatever is asked and goes in. Even Vogue Editor said she has authority over what is asked and what isn’t. Aniston has always OFFERED to talk about her marriage/divorce to Brad Pitt. Almost all the time ,WITHOUT prompting! Last time was only last year!!! During Oscar campaign. Aniston has spent almost 11 years talking about her marriage and divorce. It is what has kept her relevant.
I agree but in fairness it’s not Heidi saying any of this. If she had her own “uncool” moment I’d totally agree with you.
Heidi is not saying anything, her mother is. We actually don’t know how Heidi actually feels about Poor Jen and Tight Face Justin. Maybe she really has moved on, but Heidi’s mother is still pissed about how Justin treated her daughter.
Honestly this is a little sad that her mother is talking for her daughter, but it is common-especially if the mother and daughter are close.
Bivens is using her mother as her mouthpiece we know exactly how she feels.
So was Aniston using Handler as her mouth piece.. people said that Aniston was not responsible for what Handle said. Why is that argument not being used here.
@Lisa: yep – if Heidi is using her mother as mouthpiece then so did Jennifer with Chelsea, Howard Stern, Jason Bateman and Chelsea again.
Perhaps Aniston did use them as mouthpieces. I never said she didn’t.
Er, there’s quite a difference between famous people getting asked questions and answering/shockjocks and ‘personalities’ mouthing off, and your non-famous mother handing out interviews.
In this case Biven’s mother has gone majorly, majorly out of her way to do this interview. If she didn’t have her daughters express permission to contact the tabloids and do this she’s insane and probably about to be cut out of her daughters life, so it’s a fairly safe assumption she was very specifically asked to do this for whatever reason. If it had happened 5 years ago it would be more likely she’d gone rogue, but to do it years later when no one gives a crap anymore…Biven’s clearly wants some attention again.
@ Pepper..
regardless they weighed in famous or not. They didn’t have to. Brad’s friends never said a word. And I’m sure they were asked too. But somehow they have shut their mouths so the gossip press does’t ask because they know they will be shut down and those friends don’t talk. Everyone has a choice to talk or not. So there seems to be a lot of people that wanted or wants attention
@Pepper: is that how it goes now? Since they are famous people and TV/radio hosts it doesn’t count?
Bs – Chelsea and Howard are friends with Jennifer so they know exactly how Jennifer feels. If Heidi used her mother as mouthpiece then so did Jennifer – end of story.
That’s true.That’s what I said when Aniston was on her Pity Party Tour for more than five years.
@sue
Aniston was slammed because she actually said no one cheated (several times) and still proceeded to demonize her ex and his new love in a sympathy play designed by her PR to garner press/publicity post Friends career.
I can’t speak for others, but that’s what makes her such a shady tool to ME.
I don’t know why you’re comparing her situation to Heidi who a)has never spoken to the press at all and who b) was actually cheated on FOR REALZ.
Heidi’s mom, who’s spoken exactly twice and not extensively until now (2nd time) is not Heidi.
Didn’t Aniston wait until after she was with Theroux to say that “no one cheated” thing? She also said something about it not being wrong to cheat around the same time. Before her relationship with Justin Theroux, she was all too happy to let people think Brad cheated and it was not okay. I believe she still thinks he cheated, but because she hooked up with a man in a relationship, she had to quickly backtrack on everything she had done and said previously to save herself the humiliation.
Heidi is too good for Justin.
Holy cow poor Heidi, her mom sounds utterly insane! How embarrassing! Just what a girl needs, a mom crowing crazily about how you can’t get over somebody who humiliated you years ago with a breakup.
Lady, leave your daughter alone for goodness sake.
Amen!!!
… … and who the hell is seeking out ‘mom’ for more comments on this stale non-topic. dang.
Exactly!
She is so lovely. (Though her mom is a bit embarrassing; whose isn’t!) Much MUCH prettier than Jennifer Aniston.
…about 3 more MUCHes are needed.. Lol
Heidi is prettier then jolie and aniston combined.
Beautiful women
Pro tip: if your boyfriend of 14 years still won’t make you his wife, that tells you what you need to know about the state of your relationship.
pro tip: not everyone wants to get married and guess what that applies to a bigger and bigger part of women, too.
True that, I wouldn’t have waited 14 years for him also. Men typically know within a year if they plan to marry the woman they are with. I just can’t play house with someone for 14 years. And he dumps me, with nothing to show for it. I really hope they cut her big ass check which I believe, Jen did.
Wow! Like Maria said: not everyone wants to get married. Second, that does not take the onus off of him for being a dick and cheating on his girlfriend and Jen for being a hypocritical mess.
@Aiobhan, nobody is blaming her. He cheated he is responsible end of story. However, if you are a woman who wants to get married and have kids, you just don’t have the luxury of being in a relationship for 1 year without knowing where it is going , much less 14 years. That is just reality.
Am not sure if that was her situation, just stating reality for many women. We have a biological clock. If you don’t want to get married or have kids then don’t worry about that.
@Cynthia.
Are people coming out directly and blaming her for the breakup, no? But this comment and other comments in this thread are suggesting that a) she wanted to get married and have kids and b) that because she was with him so long (without getting a ring), she kind of deserved to be treated badly or that the relationship did not mean much at all, as if the relationship was just a hook up. It is disrespectful to her and the relationship. As if it is ok to live and share yourself with someone for near twenty years, but because you did not have a marriage certificate and kids that the relationship meant nothing. Marriage does not stop someone from being a jerk, and does not make them a better parent. Commitment, respect, and love, is what makes a long and happy relationship. You don’t need to be married to do that.
Also, no one should be thinking of having kids and getting married as a race to the finish line.
And people are still letting Jen off the hook for her part in this breakup.
Funnily enough, Aniston’s character in that movie “He’s Just Not Into You” was with her boyfriend for 7 years (played by Ben Affleck) who said that he didn’t believe in marriage.
Tell that to Golde Hawn and Kurt Russell.
I’m not trying to be mean, but people break up all the time.
Yes, they do, but people that break up by cheating on a 14 years old relationship and decide to throw their partner from the home they built together deserve SPECIAL ATTENTION. And they are getting it!
Hear, hear. He’s not worth the tears.
While I’m sure she’s moving on, I don’t know how happy she is about her mother’s statement. I for one would not want to give him the satisfaction of knowing that I’m still hurt(if that’s even true.) much less immortalizing the fact in print for all to see.
Right, I’d be so mad at my mom for sharing MY story for gossip.
Her mother’s statement is embarrassing but when you put it into perspective it really is just a small thing.
She was betrayed by someone she trusted for 14 years, that’s not small. You can get a new job, a new house, even a new relationship but trust, if broken, is very, very hard to rebuild. And she already went through this process in public, her friends and family know the story, I can’t imagine what it felt like.
So, do these words really matter? I would be embarrassed for 5 minutes and then I would remember that with or without a chatterbox mom, the wound is still there.

Heidi’s mother was betrayed by Justin as well. At the time she defended Justin in the press because they were hounding her with the ‘is Justin cheating on your daughter with Jennifer Aniston’ question. She told the press that she asked Justin what was going on and he told ‘her’ (Heidi’s mother) that he and Jennifer were only getting together so often because they were discussing a film project. He lied to ‘her’ as well as Heidi.
I guess she’s also pissed because she know that ‘on again, off again’ ‘sourced’ leak was Bullsh$t.
Easy to say, 14 years of your life and the man just dropped you like garbage. Some people cannot even move on after a 6 months relationship much less 14 years…….. The best years of her life….child bearing age. And she has to constantly hear and see them during grocery checkout.
Agree with everything you said, Cynthia. She wasted the most precious years of her life with him. Starting over at 40 isn’t an easy feat. Much easier said than done to just ‘move on already’. I hope you never have to experience this kind of betrayal.
Yep. Theroux and Aniston have a big sensitivity chip missing.
@Cynthia, @Dani, and @Tarsha …
Very well said, ladies.
Her mom needs to shut it. It has been what 5 years since Justin and Heidi broke up. It probably sucked a the time because they were together for 14 years. Bu everyone has relationships that end. Despite what her mother is doing, I hope Heidi has moved on and has found happiness.
The mother just stated that, in her opinion, her daughter has NOT found happiness since the break-up. if the mother thought her daughter was happy, do you think there would be an interview such as this one?
My one caveat–and mind you, this is a sincere question, I’m not being snarky–is do we know how close Heidi and her mother are? My husband’s mother is really….off her rocker and they don’t speak. Haven’t for years. I’ve actually never met her because of their tainted history. But I could absolutely see his mother running her mouth about things she knows nothing about to a tabloid reporter that indulged her.
On one hand, lol at Aniston being called out for her hypocritical behavior. On the other hand, this is ridiculous. If Heidi hasn’t moved on after 5 years, she’s the one with the problem, not Theroux.
Her mom sounds silly though. “…even if you’re not a Christian you know what’s good; you know the choice of darkness and the people who are acting out that darkness.” He didn’t slaughter innocents, he cheated on his girlfriend. It’s more than a little over the top.
Nailed it.
Please shut up, Heidi’s Mom — listening to your religion-infused psychobabble is making me sympathize with Justin Theroux (imagine sitting through 14 years’ worth of this at holiday dinners!), and I REALLY don’t want to. I was much happier thinking the guy was just a skeeze!
What has her religion to do with the fact that Justin cheated with Jennifer and that he is a d bag?
Jennifer is a hypocrite who had no problems sleeping with a man who was in a common law marriage.
The mother just pointy out how vile they both are.
Christian “shaming” appears to be exempt from political correctness.
I have a lunch date later so won’t be able to read all the spinning and twisting that will happen.. but man it is always so much fun reading how EVOLVED some people have become over the years.. so much more OPEN and understanding.. and all in just a short period of time.
LMAO
@Lisa2 …

I dunno…they weren’t married and had no kids. Hard as it is, relationships do end. I don’t think he went about it the right way, but he has every right to do what makes him happy.
Same can be said for Divorce when it is over and there are no kids.. but that didn’t stop people from ranting for 11+ years.
I’ve never been married but I’ve had a number of great long-term relationships. I feel like just because a relationship doesn’t last forever, that doesn’t mean it was a failure. I’ve had a lot of love in my life, and I’m very thankful for each of them.
#blessed
I would be so embarrassed if my mom said all that. The best revenge is living well and she made it sound like Heidi isn’t doing well.
“We have a choice, even if you’re not a Christian you know what’s good; ”
Whaaaaat?
I got it. People should be good to others, whether you have Christian beliefs or not.
Her mum sounds like such a jesus freak, it’s hilarious XD.
@LouLou ..
Is everyone who believes in God a ‘Jesus’ freak?
She said the mom sounds like a Jesus freak, not that she sounds like a Christian. A clear difference was made between Christians and Jesus freaks. The way the mom talked is not normal. Talking about exhuming bodies and what not.
@MP, who wrote: “She said the mom sounds like a Jesus freak, not that she sounds like a Christian. A clear difference was made between Christians and Jesus freaks. The way the mom talked is not normal. Talking about exhuming bodies and what not.”
What???
@mp
So the mom is not normal for referencing God bringing her daughter a good man… But Justin whatshisface is normal for collecting baby syphillis teeth? Gotcha.
Please she sounds completely off her rocker and unwell.
I feel bad for Heidi who is a very private person.
She must be humiliated.
Has nothing to do with religion and everything to do with her mother being unwell.
This is not the Rambings on a sane and in touch with reality person.
Thanks @MP you got it. It’s crazy how people love to take things personally and jump at your throat after twisting your words around. I have nothing against people believing in God, gods, great goddesses, high priestresses, mother earth, fairies, tarot fortune telling, water spirits, Baphomet, cargo cult, whatever, I’m fine with them all. But yeah, fanatism is indeed something I look down upon and this woman sounds like one hell of a fanatic. A slightly distrusbed and nosy one additionaly.
Fanaticism*, entschuldigung, mea maxima culpa, pardonnez mon français.
If she expected a life long commitment then they should have gotten married. You know what you’re dealing with if you stay 14 years. He’s clearly a pos. I hope she doesn’t waste any more time grieving.
Her mother sounds unhinged and makes her daughter seem like a lonesome spinster. If I was Heidi, I’d shut that down.
Since Jen’s mom died Radar Online can’t pay off her neighbors to talk about Jen. Now they are paying off the mother of an old girlfriend. Justin and Heidi were on and off for years and as has been said many times regarding another couple, you can’t “steal” someone.
If the intereview actually happened the mother is saying that her daughter is struggling with the pain of the loss of that 14 year relationship.
OBVIOUSLY, Justin is NOT struggling with ANY pain.
The relationship meant more to her than to him. It must be awkward for Heidi to bump into him when he is in New York. i guess that kissing photo of Aniston and Theroux may have struck a nerve for Heidi’s mother.
@Sophie, who wrote: “Justin and Heidi were on and off for years … .”
That is a lie for SO many reasons, the chief one being that Justin and Heidi had lived together for nearly a decade when he got together with Jennifer. On again, off again couples don’t make and ‘share’ a home together for nearly a decade. Again, they didn’t have separate homes … they LIVED together as a couple.
The ‘on again, off again’ lie was further exposed by this (please notice the date and the photo caption to the right of the picture … on again, off again couples aren’t know and described as “Long-time” loves):
http://www.broadway.com/shows/house-blue-leaves/photos/rock-the-house-ben-stiller-edie-falco-and-the-blue-leaves-company-celebrate-opening-night/162129/house-of-blue-leaves-opening-night-heidi-bivens-justin-theroux
Jenny and husband must have known this was coming out that’s why they are doing these pap strolls in NYC to divert attention.
Well, good luck Jenny, you found yourself a winner there.
Bingo – I said the same thing above.
Jennifer knew this will come out so she deflected it by using her pregnancy trick.
If she knew this was coming and wanted to deflect from it, why did she time it so the pregnancy stuff was totally over by the time this story came out? If she was controlling things the beach pics should have come out a day or two ago, not over a week ago. That story’s dead now, it’s not drawing any attention away from this.
You obviously haven’t been following the gossip – the media is still going on about the pregnancy thing. Dailymail has like 5 articles last few days about Jennifer and her hiding her stomach…
@Ava
Nailed it. +1
I knew it was deliberate and that they actually went to the bloids this time because the beach pics were too close and too clear.
Omg this mom is unhinged….Her daughter is waiting for a godly man to come and rescue her. Dating again will be like opening up a grave and exhuming a body…Mommy is crazy!!
ya she is.
Heidi is gorgeous. Jennifer got a complete pass in the press while Angelina still to this day is called every mean name in the book. I notice Jennifer’s BFF Chelsea had no problem with what Jennifer did to Heidi but bashes Angelina every chance she gets! And the weirdest part about that is, Chelsea didn’t even know Jennifer when this was all happening and bashed Jennifer too until she got in the A list Hollywood club thanks to Jennifer.
I feel so sorry for Heidi but applaud her keeping it classy!!!
Well, I’m just speaking for myself here, but when I was single married men were completely off limits to me. I simply would not go there. But men with girlfriends? Yeah, that was on the table. Fair game. That’s me. I understand everyone is different. I definitely dated men who had gf’s when I was single. And guess what, one of my bf’s broke up with me for someone new he met too. I consider all of that fair. I don’t have a grudge against her and never did.
IMO, that’s pretty gross.
“I simply would not go there. But men with girlfriends? Yeah, that was on the table. Fair game. That’s me”.
Like Tara said, that’s gross. Cheating on your wife/husband is way worse than cheating on your boyfriend/girlfriend. However, thinking it’s okay to date other people boyfriend/girlfriend s, yeah I wouldn’t want a friend like this. If they can cheat with my boyfriend, how do I know they won’t cheat with my husband, if I ever married. Some people don’t see a difference. JMO
Three+ billion men on the planet but you just have to have someone else’s man? Just out of curiosity, do you tell them the rules when you hook up so there’s a level playing field?
it’s up to Heidi to decide when to move on. she was brutally betrayed by the person she trusted most. he also did that gaslight thing of telling her everything being written about him and jennifer was wrong. Heidi was blindsided and will get over it at her pace.
I think the mohter is calling out …PUBLICLY… what she thinks of Justin today and how his last interactions with her daughter affected them. If her daughter was doing extremely well, she would have gladly said so.
It is going to be hard NOT to be affected by an intimate relationship that ran as long as 14 years…married or not. That is a sizeable chunk out of anyone’s life.
The part that is foul is that Justin told Heidi to her face that nothing was going on, all the while Jennifer was already introducing him to her friends as her BOYFRIEND. Shade, shade, shade for days, Aniston. Not cool. No bueno.
Now he’s Aniston’s husband. Um…OK. Whatever demons Justin has, it is now Aniston’s role to deal with it.
I wish Heidi the best in all of her endeavors.
No doubt it was a terrible betrayal and having to read about your ex moving on with Americas Sweetheart cant be fun. But hanging on for five years isnt useful for her. He isnt wasting tears over her heartbreak, he is in Cabo sipping margarritas with Jimmy Kimmel and George Clooney. Its hard to hear but “Move On!” is probably what someone near and dear needs to be telling her. I bet you having a mother who keeps digging this stuff up doesnt help either. I am so grateful for my mother who always reminds us to put an “expiry date on tears”. Life is for living not weeping.
Keeps digging stuff up? I am no fan of parents going to the media, but Heidi’s mother has made precisely two comments in 5 years. Hardly ‘keeps’ bringing this stuff up.
@Joanne, who wrote: “it’s up to Heidi to decide when to move on. she was brutally betrayed by the person she trusted most. he also did that gaslight thing of telling her everything being written about him and jennifer was wrong. Heidi was blindsided and will get over it at her pace.”
Yes, Heidi was ‘truly’ blindsided. Unlike Jennifer Aniston, Heidi ‘was indeed’ gaslighted and didn’t have the luxury of her man honestly and patiently informing her of and explaining why he wanted out of the relationship. Unlike Jennifer Aniston, Heidi didn’t have the courtesy of Time to adjust to the impending separation prior to seeing Justin and Jennifer splashed across Tabloids blissfully loved up (Brad waited four and a half months after their joint separation announcement and one month after Jennifer filed for divorce before chasing Angie to Africa, thus providing the World with Tabloid photos). Unlike Jennifer Aniston, Heidi didn’t ‘play the victim’ and pretend to only learn about Justin when it hit the Tabloids … because ‘she’ honestly didn’t know. Heidi quietly moved out of the home she’d shared with Justin and genuinely suffered in silence.
Her mom needs to move on; I’m sure Heidi already has.
Seriously.
Mom needs to shut her pie hole.
Moving on doesn’t mean you stop calling the people that took a piss on you by their names: Assholes.
This woman and Matt LeBlanc’s dad need to get together and write a book. They are equally next level. I agree, though, if I were Heidi, I would be calling up my mommy and saying, Oh Mommy, please don’t go to the press anymore.
Thank you Emma. Love reading your accurate posts. Heidi may not have known her mother was speaking to Radar until after the fact. What was Jennifer’s excuse? As one of her “unnamed sources” or one of her friends?
Mom sounds mentally unsound. And WHY is she violating Heidi’s damn privacy? It’s nobody’s business what goes in in her private life.
What is this fruitcake banging on about? Lady, your daughter is a grown woman-if she is unable to move on after five years, that’s on her. Bleating about it to anyone who will listen is unhelpful. Besides, if what you’re saying is true, she’s much better off without this guy anyway-I should think you’d be glad to see the back of him.
LOL. Yeah Mom infantilizes the daughter. Seems like Mom is the one who can’t move on. If Mom had been a mom she’d have told her daughter to hit the road like after four years if there was no ring.
Perfectly said. Heidi is better off anyway. Let it go Heidi’s crazy mom. You aren’t helping your daughter with this crap. She’s probably embarrassed. The best revenge is moving on and being happy. Eff him.
Have always said Aniston is a phoney . She really needs her PR guru Huvane. Otherwise people would see her for the shallow, phoney she really is.
SO the pregnancey rumors were an attempted deflection for this story? Seems to me that JustJen got word that this tidbit would be coming out and planted those pregnancy rumors. So shady.
LOL about the main responses being to throw shade at the mother rather than Aniston’s staggering hypocrisy.
Really peeved that she gets a free pass.
Jennifer Anniston doesn’t get a free pass. To this day, people are postive she’d do anything to get Brad back, that she can’t act, that her marriage to Justin is a sham, that she’s always pretending to maybe be pregnant, and that her endorsement work is an indication of how vapid she is.
As for how she got together with Justin, if there was cheating he’s just as responsible as she is.
Word. I don’t care for Aniston but Heidi’s mom sounds unhinged in this interview. I don’t know why saying that means I don’t think Aniston or her die hard fans are hypocrites.
But the article is ABOUT the mother still talking about it. Not Jen’s family or Jen’s friends. I’m SURE if that were the case Jen would already be dragged through the mud tied to a pickup already.
It’s so weird to me the comments who are like BUT WHAT ABOUT JEN’S horribleness? If the article was about Jen, we’d be talking about her too.
But the mom is getting the comments because it’s the mom who gave the interview or what have you. And why so passionate about us hating Jen? Can’t we want the mom to put a lid on it and ALSO think Jen is a dirtbag for carrying on with a man who had a live in partner.
BUT main onus on Justin, for he is the one who disrespected Heidi. Where is the hate for HIM??? (:
@littledarling I completely agree with you. If it was my mom blabbing to the press about my heartache I would be horrified too.
Right. I think it’s totally ironic that Jen used her break up from Brad to further her post Friends career as the poor BETRAYED woman, but then probably broke up a long term relationship and it’s total crickets from her fans and the tabs. I’m not denying that at all. I still think this interview is super weird and cringe worthy. Justin is a tool and I really think he saw a relationship with Jen as a ticket being on the front lines of fame (since he was in the background for so long). I think the whole thing is ironic and hypocritical, but Justin is dbag.
@Soulsister, who wrote: “LOL about the main responses being to throw shade at the mother rather than Aniston’s staggering hypocrisy. Really peeved that she gets a free pass.”
It’s a standard ‘deflection’ used by Jennifer’s fans. When this happened in 2011, they mean-girled Heidi instead of dealing with what Jennifer had done. Now Jennifer’s fans are mean-girling and attempting to discredit/dismiss Heidi’s mother for being pissed–and not afraid to say so–because Justin lied to her and Heidi and blindsided her daughter. Justin made a commitment to her daughter and spent time with her family–including Holidays. I’d say she has a right to feel betrayed.
They also like to pretend that this wasn’t the first time Aniston went after a man who was already in a relationship.
yup, it’s been five years and he is married to someone else, i think that means “he’s just not that into you.”
I’m pretty sure Heidi understands that… I hope by this point that she’s glad he’s not into her. Who needs a cheater who only has eyes for JA’s fame and bank account?
@Amilu …

Here’s what I don’t get, help me out here. They were together for 14 years..YEARS!!! 14 years and no ring. Really? Even waity Katy didn’t wait that long. When I met the hubs, he proposed after 5 months of dating and we married 2 years later. I have no respect for these guys who won’t take that next step. And who wants a guy who has to be nagged into it? Not this girl!!
Yep, that’s my feelings on this too. My husband proposed after 3 months. I would say give it two years, but IMO, most proposals happen within the first year actually.
How do we know he didn’t propose.
Well, then that would open the possibility that he wanted marriage and she didn’t, in which case, why wouldn’t he leave for someone willing to make that commitment?
Still, IMO, that’s a highly unlikely scenario and he most likely never proposed.
@Tara, who wrote: “Well, then that would open the possibility that he wanted marriage and she didn’t, in which case, why wouldn’t he leave for someone willing to make that commitment?”
How is this any different from saying a woman who doesn’t have kids must not want them? That was the rumor during the two years before Jennifer and Brad broke up, that he wanted kids and she didn’t. Are you saying–based upon your logic above–that Brad was justified to leave Jennifer and find someone who also wanted and was ‘willing’ to have his kids?
I would be soooo embarrassed if my mother did this. OMG talk about over-the-top and infantalizing melodrama.
A tip for younger ladies: If he doesn’t propose within two years, he won’t. Any woman who stays in a relationship for 14 years without a proposal, well…yeah maybe she didn’t want to get married. That’s fair, and many women don’t want to! But if he doesn’t try, believe me, you can gauge his commitment to you by that.
And maybe she did want to marry him. We really don’t know.
We really don’t know, that’s the point. The reality is many people drag their heels in breaking up with someone until they have a jump off. This “Jen stole Justin” nonsense seems to be a way to make people feel better about the anti-Angelina narrative from back when Brad and Jen split up. It’s tiresome, in fact I’m getting tired just typing about it.
I understand the suspiciion behind a couple living together for many years and not being married. It leaves room for discusssion about level of commitment. What is not disputable is the TIME SPENT in that relationship. In this case 14 years is a LONG time. Someone earlier said they were on and off. Still, it was 14 years of TIME SPENT on each other.
Justin made himself available to Jennifer, and advanced the new relationship while still having a roommate that was his girlfriend. That is low. She was asked to get her belongings and leave the aprtment they shared because the union between Justin and Ansiton was already public. He treated her like old furniture- he had a new delivery coming in and she had to go.
Tara, what? In what decade are women still just sitting passively waiting for a proposal? Adult relationships don’t work that way. Marriage is a mutual decision, and it can make a lot of sense for some people, but it’s a huge legal/financial entanglement, and many happily committed couples simply choose to keep their finances separate. Which in no way is a statement on either party’s level of commitment. If after 15 years, one partner strays, how exactly would a marriage certificate have made a difference?
I feel for Heidi because Douche probably cost her having children. You don’t just recover and find a baby daddy quickly after 14 years and a betrayal. Still, Heidi has responsibility here. Many many relationships formed in the twenties don’t make it. He never married her–always a huge sign. There were obviously no plans for children. If she wanted a marriage and children, she should have read the writing on the wall and gotten out when she was thirty. Still, it’s not too late for her to have a child on her own. I’m sure she got a good settlement from Aniston. She is a beautiful girl but needed to wake up. Finally, she seems like a real clinger/codependent to me. Think Aniston is a far more equal match for him.
Yeah, I said above that stuff like this happens all the time. My old roommate was married for 10 years to a horrible guy after dating him for 7, she stood by him through so much crap. She wanted kids, he didn’t, which in retrospect was a blessing because he dumped her suddenly for a younger co-worker and now has three little kids. My friend was heartbroken and full of rage for a while but now she knows it all happened for a reason and that she’s better off, even though she probably never will have the kids she thought she wanted. Life is too short to wallow in regrets.
Agree with all. You have to live, learn and accept.
So…why are these statements of concealed wisdom not said in 2005, 2006, etc. of another couple?? How much time, years, did it take to see the truth??
BTW, there is no guilt coming from BP/AJP fans as Ansiton, Pitt and Jolie have REPEATEDLY stated there was no cheating. In the Aniston/Theroux/Bivens triangle that is clearly NOT the case. Heidi Bivens’ mother has cried foul play from the very beginning.
Justin cheated and is now married to his lover.
REALITY CHECK:
Relationships can end- marriage license or not.
When one party moves on before the other is able or willing, it hurts the other.
Sometimes people give their heart to someone who is not worthy of it. It sucks.
Sometimes one partner IS aware that they should end but does not want to.
Soemtimes one partner is aware that they should end and is waiting for the right time, as if there is such a thing.
Sometimes the partner that is left behind remains in perpetual jealousy that the ex-partner found happiness- and it does not include them.
On occasion. couples reach the same conclucsion to separate at the same time.
I think people need to stop saying that just because Jen said there was no cheating doesn’t mean there was no cheating. Have you ever considered she was trying to save face? Deflect in the face of intense scrutiny? Again, no one can possibly know the actual truth except the people directly involved.

But the “intense scrutiny” didn’t occur until ‘after’ Jennifer had filed for divorce. She wasn’t in any way blindsided and may I remind everyone once again that Jennifer began a relationship with Vince Vaughn three months after the ‘intense scrutiny.’ I think all the women projecting onto Rachel Green were more ‘humiliated’ than Jennifer Aniston was … she only ‘played’ the victim for PR reasons, and by golly it worked!

Well Jen BFF Courteney Cox said their was no cheating and Jen said it again in 2014 or 2015 when she was happily engaged to Justien. So was she trying to save face 8 or 9 years later when she had been playing the pity party for years????
@ Salsgal
My grandparents on my fathers side were together for over 25 years to the day my grandfather died and were never married. Not everyone wants to get married or needs a piece of paper.
At the end of the day he made a 14 year commitment to her and how does she sound like a real clinger/codependent? Is it because her mother says she can’t move on ? If so then Jen is not a good match for him because that was her PR narrative for years.
“He never married her–always a huge sign.”
Excuse me?! Aren’t we in 2016? Not the 1940s? What does marriage have to do with anything?? These days, it IS possible to be a couple for 14 years without needing a piece of paper to prove anything. Look at Kirk Russell and Goldie Hawn! Wow. 2016 and people are still saying ‘it doesn’t count’ if he ‘didn’t put a ring on it’. Ok, what the??? I can’t believe we’re having this conversation. :[
“Finally, she seems like a real clinger/codependent to me”
Um, what? Where on earth did you get THAT from?!??? She spoke once about her split from Justin 5 years ago, 5 years ago. Not one peep before, nor after Never said a peep since, got on with her life, so where on earth did you get that from??? Seems like more victim-blaming, to me. Actually it is Jennifer that has long had the reputation for being all clingy and needy. Even on the red carpet with Justin, she is all over him like a rash. Hugging him around the neck, all desperate and clingy and needy.
This. Thank you Domestos for the voice of Sanity.
Now, is her publicist going to deny these claims like he did with the baby food diet?
We are not going to hear a single peep about this from her publicist. Not a sound.
It really irks me that Aniston is able to get away with everything short of roasting a baby in public. There is no doubt by the photos and time frames that Theroux on Bivens with Aniston. There is no doubt about that.
I worked with a guy who had two children with a woman he never married. As soon as those kids were out of the house so was he. I asked him why they never got married and he told me he never wanted to. A year later he’s with someone else.
So your friend is a selish, self-absorbed, absentee housemate (or squatter) who, by accident became a father and dodged the financial responsiblities of being a parent throughout the toughest years, the raising of a child into adulthood. He probably contributed VERY little financially to the household or his children’s development.
In other words, HE was the third child. Upon realizing that the mother would no longer be as distracted by raising her children as they are now young adults and somewhat self-sufficient, your sad co-worker got out of dodge before he could be held accountable to a normal, functioning relationship. That, and he was free and clear of having to pay child support. There are actual mentally-challenged individuals that think THIS is an awesome strategy for getting ahead.
Man, what a catch! You better hurry up and MARRY that gem…
Actually he was a pretty good dad. Not such a great partner. He ran the show. The kids were adults and self supporting and he blew the pop stand. His common law wife wanted to retire and he didn’t want to support her. He was never committed in my opinion. She should have told him he’s either in or out years ago.
How can you charcterize a man as a “Pretty good Dad” , living with the mother of his children and his chidlren as a family in a single household, yet disrespecting the mother as his partner? Do you not think the kids will notice? Any disrespect going on between the parents will affect the family unit and the peace of mind and confidence the children should have. In the back of their minds they will start to worry if and when their family will break up. Chidlren want to feel secure about their family. Really hard for the kids to feel happy about their family if they know Daddy really does not like Mommy.
What I am saying is that part of being a good parent (Dad or Mom ) is also deomonstrating respect and love for the other parent. Without that piece intact, his greatness as a Dad is limited.
Did you say that about Jennifer Aniston who was still going on about it ten years later (she dragged up her divorce in her Oscar campaign last year)? Just wondering. Yeah, it’s been 5 years. But Heidi was with Justin for FOURTEEN YEARS. Aniston was only married to Brad for 4.5 years. So…..what I am thinking is that Heidi has at least another 20 years to go on about it, in comparison to time spent with him.
I think they all need to shut up about it.
Jen’s whole MO is pretty pathetic, I think most will admit that she milked that breakup to further her post Friends career.
I was thinking about this as well. Jennifer made a living out of Brad and Angelina, yet Heidi has to be the mature one about Jennifer and Justin’s relationship?
No brad and jen dated for 6 years before they got married.
They were married for 4.
Amanda if you check all biographies, they say Brad and Jennifer met in 1998, and married July 29, 2000. That is 2 years, not 6.
Yeah I’m sure it was rough on everyone but this interview is just odd to me, comes off forced. “my sweet Heidi” and the woe is me cancer treatments, come on, this was over 5 years ago, move on and stop looking for sympathy or a paycheck.
Mama bear is speaking out because Justin did her daughter wrong. What mother in her right mind would praise Justin??
I think she is just blasting Justin and calling out who he is based on her experience with him. If he had treated her daughter with more respect and dignity, I am not sure this interview would not exist.
I can see the mama bear thing, but this isn’t the first time she’s done this. It just seems forced and random to come out 5 years later, I don’t know, I found it odd.
It is awful. They were together for 14 years, but people forget they were NOT married. Perhaps there was a reason for that? The gossip in Hollywood was that they had a relatively open relationship. I was shocked when JA was reportedly with him because I couldn’t imagine her wanting to get involved with a guy like that. Because of the rumors of JT and HB open relationship I wasn’t shocked when they split. I was more shocked when JA took up with him.
I JUST *KNEW* someone would bring up the “but they were not married!” bs line. Remind me, this IS 2016…..am I right? Would you say that to Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell? This is NOT the 1940’s. Married or not, sharing a HOME and a life together for 14 years, FOURTEEN YEARS!!!! to me, means far, Far *FAR* more than a piece of paper. Cheating is Cheating…..is CHEATING!!!! Piece of paper or not! So lets cut that moral gymnastics. And no, they did not have an open relationship. That is something fans of Jennifer Aniston started to make it look ok. But Justin (early on) and Heidi, AND her mother, all DENIED years ago.
It’s not BS. It is fact. I am glad that you do not need a piece of paper. Kudos. But maybe it would be smart to protect your investments and everything else with another piece of paper like a contract for domestic partnership and the like (esp. after 14 years). I am willing to bet Goldie and Kurt have legal docs to do just that.
I am not saying he did or did not cheat. (So I do not know who that comment (or comments are directed too)). I did say, however, there was always talk about them having an open relationship. That is why I questioned why they never married. I actually am not a fan of JA. I find her to be very average. No idea where the rumors originated from, but they were first whispered long before JA. Maybe it was because he cheated on Heidi before that (I have no idea).
Lol out loud don’t give yourself a stroke girl/
.someone is a little too over invested..lol
I was with my other half 16 years, bought a home together, built a life together the whole nine yards, just found out a few weeks ago that he has been cheating for the last four months with a coworker and according to some here I deserve this heartache and to have my life torn apart. More fool me for loving someone with all my heart, being faithful and trying my best for him the last 16 years.
Oh, ZB, I am so sorry. Hugs.
No one is saying it wasn’t painful for Heidi (or you, sorry). Not sure you can blame anyone. People always do exactly what they want. There are no guarantees.
That sucks ZB. I’m really sorry.
That is truly awful.
Oh Zapp. Crap. I’m so sorry your have to go though this.
ZB no you don’t deserve that. Wishing you better days.
I understand the suspiciion behind a couple living together for many years and not being married. It leaves room for discusssion about level of commitment. What is not disputable is the TIME SPENT in that relationship. In this case 14 years is a LONG time. Someone earlier said they were on and off. Still, it was 14 years of TIME SPENT on each other.
Justin made himself available to Jennifer, and advanced the new relationship while still having a roommate that was his girlfriend. That is low. She was asked to get her belongings and leave the aprtment they shared because the union between Justin and Ansiton was already public. He treated her like old furniture- he had a new delivery coming in and she had to go.
Josephina, some people just do not want or feel the need to get married, for real.
In JT’s case I suspect that Aniston has the upper hand in the relationship (err… money? PR?, business relations?), whereas with Heidi she was younger and probably he did what he wanted, the situation was reversed.
Easy to say that he was artsy, that they did not need a paper, and she was convinced. ( I had a boyfriend who wanted the same, no marriage, but I’d have to live in a different state and leave my job, so I did not feel as “protected” as I would have been with a marriage contract, so I broke the relationship).
I agree. 14 years is a long time. I’m not disputing that. I am also not disputing that it would be awful to be treated callously by someone you love, esp. if it went down the way it did.
Wrong space 🙂
Lol…..there were no rumors that Justin and Heidi were in an on/off relationship. There were no rumors about them at all, because neither of them were *big* enough for that. What happened was right after they made that movie together, Justin was seen in LA with Jennifer–at industry events, going out to dinner, etc. When the tabloids first cropped up that Jennifer had a new boyfriend, Heidi’s mom acted as the mouthpiece/PR person, and told Us Weekly (or whoever) that Justin told Heidi that he and Jennifer were working on a project together, and that they were just friends. Fastforward a few months later, and Heidi tells a tabloid that they were together for fourteen years and that she’s moving out of their apartment today, and won’t say anything unless they talk about her.
The “they were on and off” thing came from an unnamed soure on Justin’s side–he did not come out and say via his PR that he and Heidi were on/off, he had someone else do it. Which is total bs.
There truly were industry rumors. The first time I heard them were around the time of Inland Empire. Again. Rumors. Take them for what they are worth.
Her mom should shut up already; I’d be mortified.
And wow, Heidi is just stunning.
@Carmen
All Hannah is doing, is showing us that she never left behind the junior high mentality.
I wonder how many of these comments came from proxy IP addresses. Things that make you go hmmm…..
So true I’ve never seen some of these people here before, that are post the same thing over again.
I like Heidi better with dark hair.
I think people are just peeved because of J Aniston’s hypocrisy. She was more than happy to have a woman villfied in the court of public opinion with her marriage but then she does the same & cricket sounds! Really unfair or should I say uncool. It’s always shady when you need the most powerful publicist in the industry. Either they are there to build you up or hide who you really are or both.
Yes, that is the point. It’s the principle of the thing. The injustice of all it all. Not so much the affair itself.
Religious wing nut mom is not doing her daughter any favours with this embarrassing interview!
@Mysons, who wrote: “Religious wing nut mom is not doing her daughter any favours with this embarrassing interview!”
How do you know this woman is a religious wing nut?
I’m not the most religious person. But why is it that people that are faith base and use scripture called Religious Wing Nuts.. There are many people of faith that are not nuts because they are people of faith. They live that faith and there is nothing wrong with that.
One thing I notice is people are screaming that Heidi’s mom is crazy.. but I don’t see many comments calling her a liar. She may be overly religious.. but that doesn’t mean what she is saying is not true. She is someone that actually KNOWS Theroux. Has known him for years. Has known him longer than Aniston has. She and her daughter talk. So she actually has information that we posters here don’t
call her crazy.. but she could still be telling some truths.
Oh my Lord, this thread. Plainly, it’s not just Heidi’s money-hungry, bible thumping mother who can’t leave the past where it belongs.
Poor Heidi, having to deal with this publicly, particularly that she’s “praying for a Godly man to come and find her…”
I don’t get how you can say her mother is money hungry she hasn’t spent the last 5 years running to the media with a new story.
(Poor Heidi, having to deal with this publicly, particularly that she’s “praying for a Godly man to come and find her…”)
^ isn’t this a the same narrative Jen PR guy had used for the last 9/10 years…….
Personally I think her mother should have said nothing regardless of whether or not Heidi is over it her mother should have never let him know and to always walk with her head up high.
I refer you to my earlier “it’s not just Heidi’s money-hungry, bible thumping mother who can’t leave the past where it belongs.”
Once again I just don’t know how you can label her mother “money-hungry” if she was money-hungry she would have expected this for years.
“Being an actor and the parts that you choose to play, you become those characters,” noted Marilyn. “You have to enter into everything they are to actually become.”
It always cracks me up to read this method crap regarding actors who are basically one-note. He does comedy jerk or drama jerk, with a side of eyebrows. Like one of his characters in SATC, this method patter is just something that allows middlingly talented narcissists to “behave like an utter ass hole and people would find it amusing.”
Where is Laurence Olivier when you need him, ha!
Her mother sounds like a religious nutcase with some of the stuff she is spouting off. And after more than five years, I would be horrified that my mother is painting me as a sad, longing victim, unable to move on all this time, and now praying for a Godly man. Her daughter was terribly hurt, and I’m sure it took time to get over. But when a guy can leave you so easily, after never having married you after being off and on for fourteen years, at some point you need to go find a man who truly does love you and live a great life, not pining away the rest of your good years for a man who, frankly, doesn’t deserve it or her.
She was 35 when they broke up and she is very pretty and accomplished. Wonderful women or men go through painful breakups of committed relationships all the time, and it’s not easy for anyone. But having Christian zealot momma still selling a story to Radaronline all this time later, five years later, is the biggest embarrassment to Heidi.
Agree in every respect, Jayna.
I do feel a real pang for Heidi that she now has to bear the public brunt of the rantings of her religious nutcase, money-hungry Mother.
They were not off and on. They were a couple for 14 years.
If you are going to believe an anonymous “source”nor the on-off thing, the you should believe her mother who is facing the press saying they were a couple all along.
It wasn’t one anonymous “source.” Some amateur sleuths went through Theroux’s interviews in that 14 year period and found some where he was described as single, at different times. Pretty sure that’s where the on and off came from. Since she’s not talking, we’ll probably never really know what happened. I feel for her, because she looked gaga over him in photos, but hopefully she’ll meet a fabulous man and be happy.
People grow out of a relationship. No guarantee. It’s a risk one takes. So should he have stayed when he no longer wanted to? The respectful thing to do is let her be the first to know he’s interested in another and wants to split.
Exactly.
Wow. I wouldn’t say that “her crazy mom needs to stfu” but I would definitely be po’d if my mom gave an interview like that about me over a break-up. I mean, sure, she’d be mad about how I was treated, but I think she’d keep it private especially five years after the fact. It makes Heidi look kinda pathetic, which she is not at all, she’s beautiful and far better off. Parents do have a way of embarrassing you, though, even as an adult. I’m really glad I’m not famous or attached to any famous people lol, cuz I wouldn’t totally put this past my mom LOL
This is like Jennifer Westfeldt stuff here (Jon Hamm’s ex). JW has given interviews that she would love to be married and have kids but Hamm is dead set against both. They had been together for ages, most if not all of her child-bearing years. Finally they broke up probably because of his cheating or whatever. And where does that leave her? She wasted too many years on him. He probably will get married and have kids with some young woman at some point — I’d bet money on it. Heidi… I hope for her sake that marriage and children were not important to her and that she is not as distraught as her natty old mother is making her sound.
This assumes that the only damn goal in a relationship is to make babies? There are a few other things in life-
I said this in an earlier thread….but seriously…do we know the status of Heidi and her mother’s relationship? They could be estranged. This could simply be a confused older woman who is making things up in her mind and responded to the attention of a tabloid reporter.
I think it is great that Heidi’s mother is speaking out. What does she or Heidi have to lose by letting the world know the kind of dirt bags, Jennifer and her paid for husband are? What Justin did to Heidi hurt more than her mother’s words. The world needs to know how Jennifer and Justin treat other women.
She’s never said a word in public or sought attention, she should be left alone. She’s beautiful and would easily find a better man.
It’s obvious that Justin went for the money and career progression opportunities that come with Jennifer.
She basically stated she would never speak about what really happened unless they went public with a pack of lies about the timeline.
Thus far it is Aniston’s fanbase still going on with lies about “on and off relationship” and claiming that living together for 14 years doesn’t matter. Not public statements from Aniston and T with a faked timeline. As long as they stick to a vague script, they’re safe from Bivens speaking the facts.
Wow, she sounds totally effing batsh*t nuts!! I almost feel more sorry for Heidi for her embarrassing mother than for her philandering ex. Still whining after all these years? Mama needs to get some help!
I don’t see a problem with her mother calling Justin a jerk for hurting her daughter. He is a jerk for cheating and lying to her, stringing her along when he knew he wasn’t in to her anymore. At least, Jen’s husband gave her a heads up and left when his feelings changed for her. Heidi was hurt, deeply, which is why Jen deserves to be called out for being a hypocrite and uncool.
I don’t see the problem either, since Mom went to the press to ‘defend’ Justin when he was being linked to Aniston. Mom found out she was wrong and likely, she didn’t get any head’s up from Justin, or at least, an apology for allowing her defense of him to serve as a character reference for the hens on blogs, boards and entertainment shows.
John Aniston can take snipes about Brad’s ‘immaturity’, Aniston cronies, pre and post-breakup, can offer critiques about the character of the ‘next’, without being within 100 yards of the ‘next’ and yet, there’s a problem with a woman offering her perspective on someone she actually met, socialized with and possibly actually loved for 14 years in the wake of the person she thought she knew behaving in a way that doesn’t mesh with what she once knew? Interesting.
And for what it’s worth, I see that there’s two types of HW women- women who see every woman, regardless of age, race, weight, economic status, etc. as a peer and the other who only see women who are of the same race, marital status, financial status, etc. as the only peer that matters. Aniston and Laura Dern are of the latter ilk, who whined and cried about Angelina’s ‘betrayal’, mainly because, in theory, they were of the same tribe (White, rich actresses). Fast forward, and both Aniston and Dern turned around and did the same thing, only they did this to women who were not actresses or high-profile in the business. Mind you, Dern likely did this to Petra, BBT’s wife, which was pre-Angelina, and she most certainly did this to Ben Harper’s wife, resulting in Dern’s firstborn being a mere few months younger that his/her step-sibling.
If any of these women, at any point, had adopted the hands off approach to an interesting/intriguing attached man, regardless of what his S.O. is (in the business or not), then the sanctimony may be more tolerable.
Heidi Biven is of the 15, 20% of the pop that can pull off any hair colour. Her mum sounds like an intense born-again type. 14 years is virtually a marriage and a lifetime, but this doesn’t really help.
There is no excuse for this. But they don’t want their ja like this but she is like this and hypocrites are the worst. Let it all move on now. Marragie or not when he doesn’t want to be with you then he doesn’t then. Ja pissed me because she used it for keeping her float. That is that and the difference is no body came or can come from her side to fully claim she was faulted unlike this.
I think it’s fine for Heidi’s mom to call Justin a jerk and trash him. That was her experience with the man. But she’s also painting Heidi in a very pathetic way. That’s the part I object to.
I know there are alot of people itching to expose Aniston as a fraud so they are gleeful about this interview and passionately defending the mom but I think it’s been done at Heidi’s expense. Let the woman move on and have some dignity. Screw Aniston and Theroux. The best revenge is showing how little they matter. If Aniston is as awful as people say she is she’ll be exposed. The days of celebs being protected are largely over: Johnny Depp, Tom Cruise, Bill Cosby, Woody Allen, Paula Deen, etc. If she’s as bad as people say it’ll be revealed eventually.
My heart goes out to Heidi and her family. He was a jerk. If she had gotten married it wouldn’t have been as hard on her. She could have held her head high and she would have had sympathy and dignity when it ended, and assets to divide. It makes her look vulnerable and naïve that she stayed in a long-term relationship without the benefit of marriage and was walked out on. It may sound old-fashioned, but guard your heart, your mental health, your finances, and make the man do the right thing.
To put it in perspective, if Jennifer Anniston would have not married Brad Pittt and Brad dumped her for Angelina, which he did, of course, there would not have been a story there. Because they were married it made all the difference,
She would have reacted the same way whether she was married to him or not. Imagine if Jolie had married Brad right away the way he wanted back in 2006.
The truth is there is not much to talk about when a couple splits, and it is a clean break. Both Aniston and Pitt were in relationships with other people in 2005 before their divorce was final. Aniston was with Vince Vaughn and Pitt was with Jolie. And this is why I gave Aniston the side eye about being heart broken about Brad. Specifically, Aniston made the split a big deal because it was a big deal to her. Even though she was daing someone else (Vaughn), she was crying her eyes out in Vanity Fair in 2005 for public sympathy. She also lost complete control upon the news that Angelina was pregnant with Brad’s first biological child, Shiloh Jolie Pitt.
The problem and the solution for Aniston is that she IS Brad’s ex. And so she made sure that she was introduced and REMEMBERED as his ex. Just about every print media with Aniston’s name on it had a mention that she was Brad’s ex. Many actors have exes but no one used it as a heavy hand PR marketing campaign to stay relevant as Aniston has.
On the other hand, neither Jolie nor Brad allowed the media to display them as ex’s to a previous spouse’s name or career. They made sure that they stood on their name alone.
What ever what ever what about her big belly in the beach? That was not a food baby
I’d like to think that Heidi got an early morning phone call informing her of this interview – and she just yawned stretched and rolled over. But only after telling whoever called something like “Aww; poor mom is at it again. Let me know when she starts telling the paps I’m pregnant by Brad Pitt”
Heidi: “Mom, you did NOT talk to the press AGAIN. Tell me you didn’t get into your religious stuff.”
HMom: “But Justin dumped you and you’ve never been able to move on!”
Heidi: “Oh FFS, Justin who? I HAVE moved on. Stop acting like Barry doesn’t exist just because he’s not a Christian. JUST SAY NO COMMENT NEXT TIME MOM.”
@Cirque28, who wrote: “Heidi: “Oh FFS, Justin who? I HAVE moved on. Stop acting like Barry doesn’t exist just because he’s not a Christian. JUST SAY NO COMMENT NEXT TIME MOM.”
Which ‘Barry’ are you referring too?
@Emma: I was just making a joke! I have no idea if Heidi has moved on with a new partner, but I bet she has.
Oh for goodness sake – get over it. If he were that in love with her he would have stayed with her. Life’s too short to stay with a person that you’re not 100% happy with and nor should you have to!
the mom is a loon
I’m neither Team Angie nor Jen, but it seems that it’s the men, Brad and Justin who are really getting a pass in all this. Hoping Heidi has or will move on, though, Justin comes off as an ass.
I mean…Mom’s are always going to proect their babies, and Justin definitely treated Heidi terribly, but this is beyond awkward. I don’t know enough about Heidi to know if she condones this but if she doesn’t it must be the most embarassing thing ever. I would die! It’s been five years, not five months. It sounds like the mom felt just as betrayed, that’s what can be as hard sometimes when a relationship ends and the families have become intertwined. I had a bad/sad breakup once and I think a lot of it was because I missed the person’s family as much as the relationship itself, I really loved this guy’s family like my own and it made a youthful breakup feel like more of a divorce. It’s obv. hard for Heidi’s mom to let go of what to her must have felt like her daughter’s life partner, but she has to for her daughter’s sake, it’ not healthy. Plus she is seriously gorgeous, she can do soooo much better than old hipster Eddie Munster!
It sounds to me like Mom needs to get over this breakup. Heidi is probably sad, but undoubtedly moving on.
She is beautiful and better off without him. I had the same thing happen to me after 11 years and looking back it was a relief. My ex is saddled with supporting 5 kids and a frumpy wife. I met a great guy and am so much better off financially and emotionally.
I certainly hope Heidi is not still heartbroken or devestated because after six years, it’s time to have learned some good lessons the hard way and see him for what he was all along – and be damn glad you got away from him even if he was a jerk about it. I can see having trust issues after that, but not still pining for that oddly dressed bizarro dude. She can thank her lucky stars she did not marry him and have him leave her in the lurch with children involved.
Jennifer was never a beauty. She was cute and quirky and that has long passed. She hasn’t aged well regardless of the heavy intake of her water and using Aveno ad nauseum. She doesnt’ have the body she used to. She isn’t an intellectually stimulating person. So, what’s left – she’s got loads of money and she’s funny sometimes? So, that’s Justin’s just deserves – tropical vacations and some jokey moments. They are shallow, uninteresting, vapid people. They probably do make a better couple than they would have if either stayed with their previous partners. Heidi, though, has the opportunity to find a truly good person with more on their mind than being photographed in jorts on yet another beach get-away….boring.
P.S. That Kewpie doll hair do he’s sporting in the one photo is killing me!
Poor woman…
This is interesting to me because I grew up with Heidi (she was in my Brownie troop). I have no recollection of her mom being so religious. Possibly that happened during her cancer battle. I think any 40 year old woman in any major city has trouble finding a good man, much less a “Godly” man. Heidi has a great career, has risen above all of this crap by never talking about it, and as I remember, is just an all-around cool and funny person. I am sure her mom is wanting grandkids and probably blaming Justin for that, but to me this article says nothing about Heidi and is just some jackass calling up a mom and taking advantage of her to report some statements. It doesn’t reflect on Heidi other than I feel sorry that this is getting brought up again (but my mom would likely do the exact same!).
The man is best friends with Terry Richardson, no one needs that! Momma needs to accept what’s happened and help her daughter get over it finally rather than continue to indulge in the suffering. It sucks but it happens to regular people every day. It’s not about darkness, it’s the opposite. The lure of the new and the exciting. The one thing a long term committed relationship can never have. That it’s innate cruelness.
