Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux have announced their separation after two and a half years of marriage.
The couple, who became engaged in 2012 and married in a surprise ceremony attended by close friends and family in August 2015, released a statement through their publicist to the Associated Press, saying in part the decision to separate “was mutual and lovingly made at the end of last year” and that they are “two best friends who have decided to part ways as a couple, but look forward to continuing our cherished friendship.”
“Normally we would do this privately, but given that the gossip industry cannot resist an opportunity to speculate and invent, we wanted to convey the truth directly,” publicist Stephen Huvane told the Associated Press. “Whatever else is printed about us that is not directly from us, is someone else’s fictional narrative. Above all, we are determined to maintain the deep respect and love that we have for one another.”
Aniston and Theroux have no children together.
