Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux got married on August 5, 2015. This Saturday is their second wedding anniversary, although they got together – officially – in the spring of 2011, when there was overlap between Jennifer and Justin’s live-in girlfriend, Heidi Bivens. But to People Magazine readers, the important date is the wedding anniversary date. So People Magazine is celebrating! Did you know that JustJen still act like newlyweds?
Two years and counting! On the eve of their two-year wedding anniversary on Aug. 5, Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux “still very much act like newlyweds,” an Aniston source tells PEOPLE in this week’s issue.
At their L.A. home, which they share with their dogs, the two enjoy hosting dinner parties for their friends, working out and cooking together. “They love to laugh and share a wicked sense of humor,” adds an entertainment source. “It’s possible that this marriage would not have worked as well if they were in their 20s, but they aren’t. They are great friends and have total respect for each other.”
Despite their busy work schedules — Theroux, 45, was recently in Australia for several months shooting the final season of his hit HBO series, The Leftovers, and Aniston, 48, has signed on to star in a new TV series alongside Reese Witherspoon in a new TV series that is being shopped — the couple have found a rhythm to their life together since marrying in August 2015. “Jen realized that you can be happily married without being together 24/7,” says the Aniston source.
After time apart, “they have so much to catch up on and it makes their marriage more exciting,” the source adds. “Justin can still make Jen blush. She still talks about how she finds him very sexy. Not seeing each other every day makes them appreciate each other more.”
I do think that Justin and Jennifer have a different kind of arrangement than most of her fans are ready to admit. The fairytale her fans imagined for her is one of constant togetherness, a true partnership at every level. The reality is that Jen is the alpha and she’s helped Justin improve his career over the years and beyond that, she’s content to let him do whatever he wants. It’s not that Jennifer can’t pull herself away from work to follow Justin around – it’s that she doesn’t want to follow him around. She bought the big mansion in Bel Air, and she’s happy just being at home with the dogs. Justin travels a lot for work and then he comes home, and that’s their marriage. It’s like The Barefoot Contessa’s marriage, only I think Jennifer has a private chef.

Eh, that sounds a bit harsh. We can’t really know what goes on in anyone’s marriage but they do seem to have a genuine chemistry.
I’ll miss The Leftovers so much. He was so good in it. I hope he finds another project that’s as compelling to watch.
I think it’s easy to ‘act like newlyweds’ when you live on opposite sides of the country, and seem to only see each other when you’ve got an ‘event,’ you need a photo op for.
They’re strange.
Not that strange is bad.
Maybe my husband and I should try it. Bet it keeps things fresh or at least you can’t get on each others nerves.
I do agree i think her fans wanted the so called fairytale for her, and it still fuels resentment to this day. In their dreams she replaced you know who with Clooney, and that’s Jen instead of Amal having those twins. Lmao
Justin works a lot in Texas and New York and she prefers LA after not enjoying NYC (very little privacy from the paps). I don’t see that as strange; a lot of couples have interstate or intercontinental marriages because of work (including military and political marriages). They are wealthy and Jen has no problem flying private to see each other whenever they want and not just for a photo-op. They seem to have a normal, wealthy relationship which differs than a middle-class couple who go to work everyday and come home and rarely travel.
Exactly. Living in different towns in one thing:- these two live on the opposite sides of the country, many many hours away! They have a marriage in name only, I never bought it was real.
And I saw just over 2 an a half episodes of The Leftovers. Enough to see he lacks any acting talent. At all. Whatsoever. He is atrocious! Madonna is a better actor. Beiber would be a better actor. His cousin Louis is better on camera. Justin got into The Leftovers because of who he ‘married’. Not for any talent. It is no surprise to me, considering Justin is in it, that the show was canceled. He is like Eddie Cibrian, minus the looks.
Jessica that makes no sense. NYC are used to celebs, no one gives a damn. Indeed celebs escape TO nyc for privacy. LA is pap haven and for those who need to be seen and want to be seen. If Aniston wanted privacy. LA would be the very *last* place she would be. NYC is more conducive to privacy. Celebs know that.
Jessica you are the first person I have seen in 8 years on these boards say you can’t escape the paps in New York. Everyone agrees that NY is the place to be to avoid both paps and tourists.
Juneau
You are wrong. You can live in LA without paps very easily. They aren’t roaming the streets. Plenty of celebs live in LA without being seen or followed. I used to go to an exercise studio in West Hollywood and there were famous women in the class and guess what? No paps. Joans on 3rd a place I love to go full of celebs including but no paps. I have been going there since it opened and was a little place in 2000 and it has always been a favorite but still no paps. I am not talking minor celebs or reality stars. I mean that is just not true. In the canyons and hills it is easy to be private.
New York isn’t for everyone. Especially if a person loves space and mild sunny weather.
I guess you don’t like her. lol
For the first 5 years of my marriage, my husband worked on a different continent 6 weeks at a time before having 6 weeks off. When he was home, it was indeed like a honeymoon every time. I also grew up in an oil town where guys working away on rotation for weeks at a time was a fairly normal thing. It seemed to work very well for a lot of those people.
I agree. I get the impression that the writer isn’t a fan, but the bias sometimes is off-putting.
I have a friend who lives in Scotland and her husband works and commutes from London. It works for them. You can be with someone 24/7 and not really ‘be’ with someone.
‘Works and commutes’ – for weeks, months at a time is one thing. LIVING (in another country or on opposite sides), is another. The bias of 98% of the internet in the favor of this couple is very off-putting, so it is refreshing to see even ONE website that sees through them.
@Juneau you really need to release your death grip on your Aniston hate-boner. My maternal grandparents were married over 50 years, my paternal grandparents were married for 67. My parents are coming up on 40 years and I’ve been happily married to the dude for coming up on 8 years. At one point in time every one of us lived in different countries than our spouses for months at a time. It’s called the military. You don’t get a choice where you are sent. It’s something I was aware of and prepared for when I married an active duty marine. I’m sure actors are aware that they might have to live this way as well and are prepared for it. You don’t get to judge other peoples marriages
Everyone does marriage differently. I think they really love each other and are best friends. It is said they are on the phone with each other constantly and that she cheerleads his career. I have noticed she seems happier and more relaxed than she did before. They live an adult life without children so why not support each others careers as a team. This means not holding the other back from a project the other wants to do. Maybe this is her fairytale. It works for them.
Roflmao! Said by who? Huvane? I can’t believe people still buy her PR manipulations. They have a ‘marriage’ in name only and live on opposite sides of the continent.
No not Huvane. I know that some people hold on the past, but they have a lot of friends and are well liked. Sorry that doesn’t fit for you.
My parents traveled often growing up, There were times my father would be gone for a month or more. They worked around it but knew what they were getting into. We would visit him but not if he was in a place that wasn’t great for children. If a couple or family want to stay together in spite of this they can.
As far as PR manipulations they all do, but she’s moved on and you should too.
I keep reading this, how “well liked” Jennifer Aniston is, or her husband. Seems if they are as well liked as reported they would be no need to keep reassuring everyone how “well liked” they are.
Just a thought.
It’s easy to be youthful or act like newlyweds when you have no kids to raise. Children age you and you will always feel old with kids. They don’t have any so they can just be themselves and not “mom” or “dad”
We don’t know how they are. It’s all speculation.
Juneau – Why so determined to disparage anything positive in their lives? It seem like a lot of energy to waste.
Living on the opposite side of the country is not a big deal these days. It’s a 5 hour flight from LA to NY, take the red-eye and be there in time for breakfast. They certainly have the money to make as many trips as they want. It’s not like they only see each other a few times a year.
Aniston’s husband lives in NYC and she lives in LA. Maybe I’m strange, but I prefer my husband to live with me, otherwise why bother getting married.
It’s not as if Aniston has been working the last few years, and Theroux only worked for a while to finish up the cancelled HBO series. This seems like a marriage of convenience. But then again, whatever floats your boat, and everyone knows Aniston prefers the company of her “Goddess Circle” to the company of a man.
Why bother getting married? Because they live each other and wanted to get married? Is that really hard to believe?
Uh, Yeah, especially as it was rumored they had broken up and he was seeing different women in NYC. Then wham, bam, thank you ma’m, he flies into LA, they have a backyard “wedding” complete with muppet cake and paps set up to catch all the guests arriving.
Then it’s off for a romantic honeymoon for 20, complete with the eerie death of one of the group from drugs and alcohol. Next thing they are arriving back to their own homes, his in NYC, her’s in LA. THAT is strange by anyone’s interpretation. The original “Odd Couple”.
People say my husband and I are like newlyweds (five years of marriage here) because we laugh a lot, show some affection, and just basically aren’t assholes to each other.
The bar is pretty low for how married couples treat each other. In my experience it seems sadly common for married people to be cold and act like jerks to each other, or to barely even interact. It’s nice that these two seem to enjoy each other. Isn’t that what marriage is about?
Amen! Two years is nothing! Glad to see any people married enjoying each other’s company because yes – that’s what it is all about. To me, marriage was in part a way of saying to each other, “Oh goody, this doesn’t have to stop!”
Yes! thank you for your comment! the bar really is low nowadays. Some ppl even pride themselves in criticizing their spouses, as if it was some proof of “being adult” and “knowing what real life is about”. Well imho life can be shitty enough without being married to somebody you don’t enjoy laughing and being affectionate with!!
I agree, the bar is set low sometimes. I’ve been married 9.5 years and I still find my husband incredibly hot and make no bones about showing him on a daily basis with some form of affection. I assume he feels the same about me because I can hardly walk past him without getting my booty rubbed or stopped for a little smooch. Even just last night we laid down to go to bed and found ourselves laughing hysterically over something really ridiculous. We always put one another first and talk about virtually everything. We know more about one another than any one of our family members could ever know about us. It’s like, is that supposed to just vanish after the first couple years of marriage is over??
L84Tea, us too. 15 years. Meeting my husband was the best thing that ever happened to me and I think we both cherish that.(we’re also a bit older when that happened for us.) I find it sad how down on marriage people can be.
I always find it a bit suspicious when any couple needs a People mag article to declare how great they are as a couple. It usually indicates the opposite. She has a long-standing relationship with People, so it feels like a planted story.
They are such a boring couple to me.
They are in their late 40s. I’d be worried about their lack of maturity if they were anything but “boring” now.
As a 48-year-old I find that comment bizarre. I hope it was meant to be funny. But then hubby & I started snowboarding at 35 and tried surfing at 45 – so I guess we are immature…?
@Rdgrl what has snowboarding and surfing to do with wether a couple is boring or not?
@Lena – the poInt is you can try new things at any age -which in my view is the opposite of boring – and not be “immature.” I thought that point was fairly clear
I don’t want to belittle, but I’m not sure surfing and snowboarding turn you into any less of a boring couple. These kinds of activities may not make you more boring either, but not being boring in my mind equals original, possibly unique. I find people, who persevere on their chosen path no matter how strange it may seem, anything but boring and certainly Jennifer & Justin to some extent fit into this description. On my own part, give me a person – my partner thank God – whose mind works like no-one elses and life is never boring. An exciting couple would be two such persons.
To clarify I did not say that every couple that was over 40 is boring.
Would anyone ever describe the obamas as boring? And I personally wouldn’t describe the Clooneys or Sofia Vergara/Joe Mangiello
They’re boring because they always do the same thing and are over exposed. Pap shots and stories about Brangelina/how happy they are. Justin has practically been wearing the same skinny jeans outfit the entirety of their marriage/courtship (not going to lie I didn’t know who he was before they got together)
Personally I like the sound of their marriage. Getting to be alone to do your own thing while your partner does the same for himself, then you come together without feeling the obligation to constantly be together. Sounds perfect, brb telling my dude this is what we’re doing now …
Yeah sounds pretty healthy to me, and this is what my brother and sister-in-law seem to have. They spend a ton of time together but neither has a problem doing things separately. Sometimes she goes up to Maine for the weekend to visit her family and he stays back here in the city. Sometimes he’ll come home for a holiday and she’ll go up and see her parents separately and sometimes they even go for a short trip to visit friends without one another.
But they also travel together, live together (obviously) and have a lot of QT just the two of them. I just like the idea of not pressuring the other person to do something that they can’t or don’t want to do and giving each other just the right amount of space.
Yep, quality time, but the freedom to see your friends or be alone – sounds good! (Although I wouldn’t want to be part for weeks at a time – but if they like that, good for them and who a, into judge?)
I think it is healthy too and my ideal. I don’t believe marriage should make a person feel as if they have to change who they are for the other person. If they like scuba diving and you prefer museums why not sometimes do it separately. Why stop them from enjoying something. Both people value the other person’s happiness.
This is one of the reasons I am separated though time apart and counseling seems to have maybe changed things for the better we will see. One of the reasons is we have become friends. I think they are friends and that is everything really. It is easier to share with a friend and talk about silly things only a friend would care about. It gives balance and heightens intimacy.
My husband and I have lived like this for parts of our 35 year marriage, even in separate cities at times. It’s raised a lot of eyebrows over the years but we’re a team and we’ve done what worked for us. A little independence and better quality time together has been lovely.
It does sound great, and now that our child is moving up and out, I’m looking forward to my husband and I exploring our own separate interests a little more as well as enjoying more couple time. Minus the home in Bel-Air and the private chef.
why would you minus the personal chef??? ;p lol.
seriously though, i hear you. i am starting to form vague plans for the next few years as we start heading into the final phases of ours being home.
i worry though, that we will be too tired and be burn outs. i guess we have to make it happen.
have fun, w.a.t.p.
Agree. A little separateness is good for couples. Togetherness all the time is a bit much.
Also, I’d still behave like a newlywed if I woke up to him on the regular.
I agree. The last few months before retiring my husband switched his work days from Monday-Friday to Wednesday thru Sunday to make extra money. This gave us each a couple of days to ourselves and it was actually kind of nice. Did not mean we didn’t love each other.
Sounds healthy to me. I think it shows that they’re both secure in themselves and their marriage to have this type of relationship. Pap photos are only a few seconds of their lives, we have no idea how much time they actually spend together, it’s all speculation.
Me too. It sounds like a very healthy marriage where each person has their own goals and interests but they are supported by their spouse. Sounds like the perfect respectful, adult relationship to me.
And???
Eh, I don’t know. Well it’s working for them, that’s what matters the most.
Everything always seems manufactured with her. Like there’s nothing there… nothing. No talent. No work. No thoughts. No interests. Kind of like me. Lol. Nothing to see here folks, move along.
I think they’re cute together *shrugs*
Same here.
And to me that set up sounds fine.
I’m very much a person who needs my space, so does my bf, and that works great for us in every way when we meet up. It’s just who we are.
Charlton Heston said he and his wife’s marriage survived all those years because they had separate bathrooms and I get that completely.
Then they are those couples who being together all the time, is what works for them.
*shrugs* Diff strokes for diff folks.
I’d agree – she always seems happy enough to me.
I do, too. They seem comfortable and happy; more power to them.
As for separate bathrooms, the 2.5 years we had a double vanity were 2.5 most domestically luxurious of my life.
It’s the little things.
Me too. I have an aunt and uncle like that. My cousin is an adult and has his own life so it is the two of them. They travel to exotic places and have a serious bucket list that is sometimes insane but they do it.
27 years of marriage and they are still devoted.
They seem happy together so good for them. No shade.
Celebrity marriages should be calculated in dog years.
Her hair is lovely when it isn’t flat-ironed.
I was thinking that as well. She has beautiful curly hair, but always seems to straighten it. She looks lovely with a more natural look and a bit younger if she cares. I’ve always liked this lady.
I like them together, so, whatever works good for them. Private wedding, no pictures released, it’s impressive she’s pushing 50 now and works all the time in a business that is harsh on older actresses – I have to acknowledge she’s getting it right.
+1 It’s nice that she succeeded in keeping her wedding private. Looking forward to hearing more about the tv project with Reese Witherspoon that’s currently in development. Seems a very good move for an actress likely to find film roles in her wheelhouse, comedy, harder to come by as she ages (see Goldie Hawn). The pivot to prestige tv/drama/dramedy is smart.
Do you think he owns any other pants than skinny jeans?
I think a lot of celebrity relationships are like this so I don’t see the big deal.
It would be something I would struggle with since my husband and I spend almost all our free time together, but I’m not a celebrity so…
That’s because 2 years of marriage is still newly married?
Yes! Two years means they basically ARE newlyweds, seriously. I would hope they’d still be nice to each other at this point – even with a hollywood marriage.
I think it’s hilarious that the author is bringing up Justin’s ex in a shady way like Angelina didn’t torpedo Jennifer’s last marriage (who this site seems very fond of). Justin and Heidi dated on-and-off for a long time but he obviously wasn’t that interested in marrying her from the sounds of it. It seemed like he was with her so long out of guilt.
Nothing wrong with her marriage; sounds like she has the best of both worlds. And why should she follow her husband around like a puppy dog it’s not like it worked for Angelina.
Wrong. Angelina and Brad got together after Aniston and Vince Vaughn did, Jolie didn’t ‘torpedo’ anything. Brad was the one who chased her “half way across the world”. I also find the lies, the exaggerations and the brushing off of all Teflon Aniston’s misdeeds irritating and HYPOCRITICAL. Because, for your information, Heidi Bivens and Justin Theroux were NOT ‘on and off’, AT ALL! That was a tabloid lie that Aniston and Huvane put out, and ably disputed and disproven by Heidi Bivens and her mother! They were a solid couple for 14 years!!! They were NOT ‘off and on’, that is a lie, but the moral gymnastics Aniston apologists do, even resorting to outright LIES like that, is not surprising or new. Oh, and I wonder if Kurt is with Goldie Hawn for so long ‘out of guilt’. Your moral gymnastics and fanbot desperation is pathetic. THis is 2017. Not the 1940s. Many people live together sometimes for DECADES, without getting married! I think it is hilarious that you think a 4.5 year marriage (6 months in by Aniston’s own admission in therapy and the last year also by Aniston’s testimony was apart) trumps a FOURTEEN YEAR relationship. JUST because there was no ‘ring on it’. 4.5 (3.5) years vs 14 years.
Lastly, news to me that Angelina followed Brad everywhere. I thought the argument du jour was that Jolie and Pitt spent so much time apart? That Jolie travelled everywhere without Pitt? Seriously, you want to know why people are exasperated with Aniston and her gullible apologist fans? Look at your own post. It is rather pathetic.
Check the calendar, Juneau. It’s 2017….
Time to move on. She has why can’t you?
This article is about Jennifer and Justin two years of marriage, not AJ.
“Justin and Heidi dated on-and-off for a long time but he obviously wasn’t that interested in marrying her from the sounds of it. It seemed like he was with her so long out of guilt.”
I always find these statements hilarious. Justin was with Heidi out of guilt? How could anyone possibly guess that? And they lived together, which suggests something more than “off-and-on” dating. Don’t know and don’t care if there was cheating, but there is no need to disparage Justin and Heidi’s relationship.
+1
Make his relationship seem bad with his GF, so when he cheats the cheaters won’t look bad. He cheated and she chose to cheat with him.
I watch this show on YouTube and a couple is divorcing. When he announced the split I thought back to how at the beginning of their relationship the husband cheated and left his girlfriend to get with the soon to be ex wife. It makes sense why it didn’t last.
Yep, he was featured in People magazine twice during the years he was supposedly dating Heidi, as one of the best single/bachelor/most eligible men in Hollywood.
If he doesn’t cheat, that’s my ideal setting
nm
Well pot, tequila and no kids help.
They aren’t any different from any other working celebrity couple. Mark Ruffalo can be gone so much that he went to kiss his daughter goodbye one morning and she said something like, so I will see you at the end of the summer? He realized he was being gone far too much. But he and his wife seem so in love and tight.
Most couples admit they try to make sure to keep to the two-week rule,but that doesn’t always happen.
Natasha Richardson adored Liam Neeson, but she said being in this business and because of the nature of being away at work can cause ups and downs in a marriage sometimes, but that they just keep on truckin’.
I don’t see any difference with Justin and Jennifer, except they don’t have children to worry about and schedule projects around. I agree that they are mature enough to handle two careers in the business and that it takes you away. I do think when you are younger and in the thick of it, at the height of your career, is when so many marriages fail.
I think Justin and Jennifer seem to be a solid couple and very happy. I will check back in ten years, though. LOL
I loved the interview with Ted Danson recently, who after 22 years with his wife Mary Steenburgen, said, “I’m madly in love with Mary Steenburgen. She’s a remarkable human being so I’m just incredibly blessed. It feels like heaven on Earth. If I were to die, I can say, I know what it’s like to be loved and to love.” Aw…………
I think relationship could be “tricky” sometimes. What doesn’t works for some, might works for others. Heck, what works in the beginning of relationship might not works later on after a couple of months/years. Honestly, I think you should do whatever it works for your relationship BUT it has to be something that decided by both sides AND both sides must take an effort to nurture the relationship.
As for Justin and JA, I think they are a good match in what kind of lifestyle they are looking in a relationship. So good for them.
Yeah okay. They’ll probably be the next couple to divorce.
I bet whenever Justin is around, he gives it to her good. Mmmm hmmm. No doubt in my mind! Meanwhile, have you heard about this new trend of married couples choosing to live separately? It’s called LAT (Living Apart Together) and, evidently, works for many. Personally, I need a lot of space and totally can relate. Not that I’m married. But if I were… 😉
Lol living separately like living in 2 different towns, not ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE COUNTRY!!! Their ‘marriage’ is for show, it is not real. I doubt they have had sex in a long long long time.
Ugh. Don’t tell me Aniston is being her typical master media manipulator and releasing things like this because of the Pitt/Jolie interviews.! I doubt very much they are still lovey dovey they don’t even live on the same side of the country! She is such a transparent manipulative btch! When will people see through her?!??? ?
😶 Err, I think this piece has more to do with their upcoming anniversary, which is done for several celeb couples than any other secret machinations. Geez.
Lol, sure. rme facepalm 0.o Edited to add that I have never, Never EVER seen ANY couple have a ‘second’ anniversary article. First, yes. 5th even. I’ve even seen 10th anniversary articles. But not second.
Hmmmm. Yeah, now after seeing your other posts up here, it’s coming clear. Best not for me to continue this conversation.👀👇
Ditto.
FYI, Brangelina had a second anniversary article in People magazine.
“Why Angelina Jolie Pitt and Brad Pitt Are ‘Happy as Ever’ on Their Second Wedding Anniversary”
The article was posted on People magazine’s website on August 22, 2016, just a few weeks before it was announced they were divorcing.
+1 he uses her to raise his profile in Hollywood and she needs arm candy. They have probably spent 1 week per month together while married. I have no problem doing your own thing but they r newly married. There was s no reason not to travel together: Justin has nothing going on on imdb. Let’s see what happens.
He’s shooting a movie called the Spy Who Dumped Me. It’s filming in Budapest. It’s on his IMDB. I follow him on Instagram and he posts little videos of their dogs at home in LA, and at Courteney’s house very frequently. He’s also papped coming and going from the gym in LA, and they are occasionally papped at dinner. I think they spend far more than 1 week a month together unless they’re working. He goes to New York once and awhile but she’s with him many of those times. I don’t understand why this notion that they spend no time together is constantly thrown about?
he appears to spend more time in New York then LA. I heard Jennifer does not like to fly (although she is spokesperson for airline). I think they have spent more days apart then together during their marriage.
I thought the Jolie/Pitt split would end the Anniston hate. Clearly I was very wrong. Somehow the hate has gotten stronger.
It certainly didn’t end the Jolie hate. That’s for certain.
*tells self* Must not engage.
Yes lets keep pretending up is down and the reality is alternate. Heaven forbid someone set the record straight. What was I thinking? sigh *I shouldn’t have bothered*
And if they were together all the time, certain people would be complaining that she’s clingy. She can’t win here.
Probably because Aniston is the one who looks the best out of the three.
She used to bug me but she doesn’t anymore. I even look forward to her show after Big Little Lies. Reese proves she is good at what she does. TV has been very good in the last several years.
I used to be irked by some of her “poor Jen” photo ops myself, but her marriage seems to have put that to rest. I think TV is a great medium for actors approaching a certain age. Maybe she’ll find another gear in her acting?
It’s time to mellow on this one.
I’m glad they’re happy! Do you, JustJen!
“Normal” is subjective. For a long time “normal” was a marriage between a man and a woman. There are places where having more than one wife is “normal”. Living apart from your spouse for months on end is very normal to me. If you think it’s strange, military marriages will make your head explode.
It seems that people assume that in at least Jennifer anniston’s case that all she ever wanted was a movie star husband and kids which to her fans was what angelina supposedly stole from her. But we don’t know what she really wanted or wants now years later and what she has now could be it…a Cali lifestyle with freedom that money and wisdom with age can give you and a friend and lover to share it with their own way. I am neutral when it comes to her but a tad jealous too.
My ex and I had a hot, sexy romance for 10 years, lived 30 miles apart and would typically only reunite on the weekends. We were the envy of friends because we were sooo into each other .
Then we f’ed it up and got married. Had we been like J/J and had the capital to live coastal i’m certain we’d still be together. Breathing room works for some couples….
I have a long-term, long-distance marriage that has lasted more than 25 years. We have been together for 32 years and have been in the same place for only a fraction of that time. It’s amusing to read all the pearl-clutching that goes on about needing to share a space all the time. That is not the reality for many people. I know of many long-term transcontinental marriages. I am American but get discouraged by Americans’ frequently rigid and limited idea of what a marriage is. If you are independent people yet still have a strong bond, there are many options.
When I met my friend, her husband was working for the railroad and they saw each other on long weekends, and 2 weeks at Christmas. They’ve been together 27 years.
Maddox Jolie-Pitt’s birthday August 5-ummm
And? What does his birthday have to do with their anniversary?
You know what it means, if not, you wouldn’t have comment. Since you don’t know, I let you figure it out.
I’m assuming you mean that you believe they intentionally married on that child’s birthday? OK.
I think most Hollywood couples spend a great deal of time apart, it’s just with this one, we know about it. They don’t have kids, so there’s nothing obligating either one of them to a home base. They just do their thing, and I respect that. My husband and I are together almost every day, but when we spend a bit of time apart, we really have a new spark for each other when we do finally see each other. I’d miss him terribly if it became a regular thing, but I get the appeal.
His unbelievable talent is really why his star is rising. Just unreal on The Leftovers. Unreal. And a very talented writer too. Not to mention that he’s HOT AF.
My dream guy. There’s a benefit to not having kids as well and this suits them. They make an amazing couple.
Just thought I’d add this here, as I mentioned in a reply above, Justin has been declared single twice in People magazine during those 14? years he was supposedly involved in a serious relationship with Heidi. I searched People magazine archive and found the following:
June 26, 2006

Quote from Justin: “I go through long relationships and then long dry spells of NOT dating and wanting to be alone” says Theroux who’s NOT seeing anyone at the moment.
It doesn’t appear that he was with Heidi Bivens for 14 years when you do the math. Justin and JA got together in May of 2011 according to People Magazine. 1997 to 2011 is 14 years. 2004 and 2006 Justin reported himself as single to People Magazine.
It was probably just a spiel he did to help his sex symbol status. A lot of guys get declared ‘bachelors’ when they have a GF. Up until marriage I think that kind of PR stuff is fair game to a lot of celebrities.
I would be very unhappy with him being identified as single if I were his girlfriend (Heidi). Especially with the way he elaborated. He also said in another interview that many people thought he was gay and his “girlfriend” was upset with it and told him to set the record straight (no pun intended). If that girlfriend was Heidi, I can’t help but think she wouldn’t appreciate him pretending to be single either.
They are very well suited professionally and personally, they look amazing together, have a laugh and share an extraordinary life of wealth and privilege – would could be better! Respect, and a tad bit of envy.
Nobody knows what their relationship is. Nobody can know. All we know is what they portray when they’re out in public together.
