Jennifer Aniston dating timeline
Adam Duritz – 1995
This is one of Aniston’s first relationships to garner media attention. During a period when her career had started to gain momentum thanks to Friends, Jenny was seen a few times with the dreadlocked Adam Duritz, the singer of the rock band Counting Crows. The relationship seemed to end right after it started.
Tate Donovan 1995-1998
Aniston’s relationship with Tate Donovan was widely considered her first real relationship (no hard feelings for Mr. Duritz). Donovan had broken off his engagement to Sandra Bullock, so the world thought Aniston would go straight into her life and fix whatever was broken. It looked good until it didn’t. They made a few red carpet appearances together and soon got engaged. However, like Donovan’s immediate past relationship, the engagement was only short-lived as they quickly broke things off. It was 1998. Donovan guest starred on Friends as the character of Aniston, Green’s love interest. Anyway, Donovan moved past the engagement phase in 2005 when Corinne Kingsbury walked into the went with him. Unfortunately, they didn’t last more than three years.
Jennifer Aniston and ex-husband Brad Pitt (1998-2005)
Trying to get over what she thought was forever, Aniston met a guy named Paul Rudd, but all he did was prepare her for Mr. Right’s arrival (at least we all thought he was). was at the time). Aniston and Pitt were paired up by their agents. It was a blind date, according to some sources, and from the turn of events, they must have been grateful to their matchmakers (we could lose a few bucks for a name).
Brad and Jen tried to stay low but couldn’t escape the prying eyes of the media for a moment. They made their red carpet debut as a couple at the September 1999 Emmy Awards. Two months after that surprise appearance, Jenny was seen rocking a rock solid at a Sting concert. And then the big July 2000 wedding that made several lists of the most expensive celebrity weddings.
After the wedding, their flame continued to burn and Brad even made an appearance on Friends – what more could a power couple ask for? They announced their plans to start having babies in February 2004, but before they could get in, Lady Jolie showed up on the set of Mr. & Mrs. Smith portraying one half of the titular character and Pitt the other. The flame between Jen and Pitt starts to fade from there. Pitt has since denied all allegations of cheating.
The New Year 2005 began with the sad news of Brad and Jen’s split, ending their 7-year relationship and with a second wife in the picture, the world didn’t take it lightly – well part of the world. Team Aniston and Team Jolie have surfaced…remember those t-shirts? Of course, Brad was going to date Angelina Jolie. Fans of the film loved it and we can’t deny how Brangelina looked so perfect together. Too bad it’s at the emotional expense of another beloved. As we all know, Brangelina called it quits in September 2016, after two years of official marriage.
Justin Theroux (2011-2018)
Justin Theroux was the next big thing that happened to Jennifer Aniston. But before Theroux arrived, she had tired Vince Vaughn (2005-2006) who was her co-star on The Breakup and singer John Mayer in 2008. Jennifer and Justin met on the set of the 2011 film Spirit of adventure for the second time after their first meeting on the set in 2007. She started things with the actor and screenwriter almost immediately after their second meeting.
After a whirlwind 15-month romance, they got engaged in 2012 and married in August 2015. Sadly, they separated in February 2018. Rumors surfaced that while Jen was married to Justin, she kept love notes from her days with Brad. This sparked rumors that Jennifer and Brad might be reuniting. Well, if that happens, it will be a bigger shock than their respective divorces combined.
