Jennifer Aniston Got Candid About Her 'Very Successful' Marriages

Jennifer Aniston is so over people passing judgment on her relationships. In a new profile for Elle, Aniston got candid about why her marriages were successful, despite both unions ending in divorce. 

"I don’t feel a void. I really don’t," Aniston said. “My marriages, they’ve been very successful, in [my] personal opinion. And when they came to an end, it was a choice that was made because we chose to be happy, and sometimes happiness doesn’t exist within that arrangement anymore."

The former Friends actress was married to Brad Pitt from 2000 to 2005. She married Justin Thureaux in 2015, however, they went on to split in February of 2018, though they remain close friends. 

"Sure, there were bumps, and not every moment felt fantastic, obviously, but at the end of it, this is our one life and I would not stay in a situation out of fear. Fear of being alone. Fear of not being able to survive. To stay in a marriage based on fear feels like you’re doing your one life a disservice," she continued. "When the work has been put in and it doesn’t seem that there’s an option of it working, that’s okay. That’s not a failure. We have these clichés around all of this that need to be reworked and retooled, you know? Because it’s very narrow-minded thinking."

Aniston also pointed out that having a big white wedding is a lifelong dream for some people, it wasn't ever that important to her. "I also was never a kid who sat around and dreamed about a wedding, you know? Those were never my fantasies. When I was first popped the question, it was so foreign to me," said, explaining that she was more focused on "finding a home that felt safe."

Happiness comes in all shapes and sizes. Just ask Jennifer Aniston.
