It is considered an absolute man’s dream …
… but apparently it’s not easy on the side of Hollywood star Jennifer Aniston (54). The actress now chatted for the first time about why she is not so easy with love.
Although she dated some of the most desirable men in the world. But love never lasted long. Jen married heartthrob Brad Pitt (59) and screenwriter Justin Theroux (52), she shared the bed with actor Vince Vaughn (53) and US singer John Mayer (45). But none of the relationships lasted.
That could be because of Jen, as she now hinted…
In an interview with the “ Wall Street Journal MagazineThe Hollywood star suspects that her parents’ strained marriage is to blame. Their unstable relationship shaped their childhood and is still their idea of love today.
“Witnessing my parents’ relationship didn’t exactly make me go, ‘Oh, I can’t wait to have this,'” she revealed.
In partnerships, she was often lonely. “I think it’s always been a bit difficult for me in relationships because I felt kind of alone,” Aniston said in the very intimate interview.
“I never liked the idea of giving up on yourself or what you need, and I didn’t really know how to do it any other way,” she explains. For her, it is “almost easier to just be alone. I just didn’t have a good education in this give and take before,” the Hollywood star honestly said.
Today the “ friendStar: Relationships are about “not being afraid to say what you need and what you want.” It’s still a challenge for me,” Aniston said in the interview.
Otherwise, she considers herself quite competent. She concludes, ironically, “I’m really good at every other job I have, and that’s the one area, so to speak, that’s a bit…”
Aniston’s parents divorced when Jen was little. Father John Aniston († 89) left the family – the father-daughter relationship cracked. The relationship with mother Nancy Dow († 79) suffered after she published a book about her Jennifer in 1999. It wasn’t until 2005, as Aniston once put it, that they “did closer again in baby steps.”
Not exactly an easy family constellation.
Who does she love today? She also reveals that in the interview. “My dog. I also share my bed with him.” But she doesn’t give up hope for a happy ending. When asked if she would marry again, she told Allure in 2022:
“Never say never, just don’t say it. I would love a relationship. Who knows …”
