Let’s talk about Jennifer Aniston, shall we? You know her—Rachel Green from Friends, one of the most iconic characters in TV history. But behind the scenes, Jen has had her fair share of ups and downs when it comes to love. Two high-profile divorces later, she’s ready to set the record straight. She’s tired of people feeling sorry for her and labeling her as "sad-in-love Jen." And honestly, who can blame her?
In a candid conversation with The Sun, the 50-year-old star opened up about the outdated narrative surrounding breakups in Hollywood. “When a couple breaks up in this town, it’s always the woman who gets the short end of the stick,” she said. “She’s the one who’s left heartbroken, lonely, and somehow labeled a failure. Screw that,” she added with uncharacteristic bluntness. “Some people are just wired to be wives and start families. For me? I don’t know if that comes naturally. And you know what? That’s perfectly okay.”
Her High-Profile Relationships: A Look Back
Jennifer’s romantic history is well-documented, but let’s break it down. She was married to Brad Pitt from 2000 to 2005, a union that captured the world’s attention and became synonymous with Hollywood royalty. Then came her second marriage to Justin Theroux, which lasted from 2015 to 2017. Neither relationship resulted in children, and while some might see that as a void in her life, Jennifer sees it differently.

This isn’t the first time the actress has shared her thoughts on love and marriage. In a previous interview with Elle, she described her marriages as “very successful, in [her] personal opinion.” She went on to explain, “When they came to an end, it was a choice we both made because we wanted to be happy. Sometimes, happiness just doesn’t exist within that particular arrangement anymore.” It’s a refreshingly honest perspective in an industry that often thrives on drama and speculation.
Marriage Isn't Everyone's Dream
Jennifer continued to reflect on her views about marriage, sharing that it wasn’t something she ever fantasized about as a child. “I wasn’t the type of kid who dreamed about my wedding day,” she confessed. “That wasn’t my thing. When someone first proposed to me, it felt so foreign. My focus wasn’t on finding a partner, getting married, or picking out a wedding dress. Instead, I was busy building houses out of shoeboxes and toilet paper rolls. It was all about creating a sense of safety and belonging.”
“And honestly,” she added, “growing up in a divorced household probably shaped my perspective too. It made me realize that marriage isn’t this magical, perfect institution. So no, I never approached it with the same enthusiasm others might have.”
Is Love Still on the Horizon?
As for whether love is still on the horizon for Jennifer, she admits she’s too busy to think much about it right now. “Am I on OkCupid? No way. I barely have time to breathe,” she joked to Harper’s Bazaar in an interview published on May 6.
