In the wake of her father's passing, Jennifer Aniston has found an unexpected source of comfort in her ex-husband, Justin Theroux. The former couple, who ended their two-and-a-half-year marriage in late 2017, have remained on amicable terms, with Theroux reportedly reaching out to Aniston almost daily since her father's death in November 2022.
John Aniston, a well-known figure in the entertainment industry, passed away at the age of 89. His daughter, the "Friends" alum, has been hosting gatherings at her home where her father's friends reminisce about the "good old days with John." However, it's her conversations with Theroux that have provided the most solace during this difficult time.
Aniston, 54, paid a heartfelt tribute to her father on Instagram, describing him as "one of the most beautiful humans I ever knew." She expressed gratitude for his peaceful passing and noted the significance of the date, 11/11, which she said will forever hold a greater meaning for her.
Despite the public interest in their relationship, Theroux, 51, has maintained a level of privacy. In an interview with Esquire earlier this year, he stated, "I want all of my relationships to exist within the four walls of whatever room we’re in. And I’m not trying to be evasive, but I talk to Jen — I don’t talk about Jen."
The "Leftovers" star also acknowledged the challenges of being in a public relationship, stating that it's "much more fun not being in a public relationship." He emphasized the importance of finding a balance and refraining from turning any comment, even a loving one, into a public spectacle.
The former couple's shared circle of friends has facilitated their continued interaction over the years. Since their split, Aniston has not been romantically linked to anyone publicly, though she has admitted to dating around. Amidst the grief and the hustle of Hollywood, it seems that Aniston and Theroux's unique bond continues to endure.
