Justin Theroux and Jennifer Aniston announced their divorce in 2018, two and a half years after getting married. Despite rumors suggesting a dramatic split, the couple released a joint statement saying their separation was "mutual and lovingly made" and that they were "two best friends who have decided to part ways as a couple but look forward to continuing our cherished friendship." They have been spotted dining together with mutual friends since then and have remained on good terms. Theroux said he cherishes their friendship and it would be a personal loss if they weren't in contact.
