Jennifer Joanne Aniston

Aniston has previously dated musician Adam Duritz, and dated/lived with actor Tate Donovan.[9] Her high-profile relationship with actor Brad Pitt was frequently publicized in the press. She married Pitt on July 29, 2000, in a lavish Malibu wedding. For years their marriage was considered the rare Hollywood success, however rumors began circulating their relationship was on the rocks when Pitt showed up to his Ocean's 12 premiere without his wife. In early January 2005, the couple was seen vacationing in the Caribbean with her "Friends" co-star Courteney Cox and her husband, actor David Arquette [1], and photos on the beach showed them kissing and affectionate. They shocked their fans several days later when they announced their separation on January 7, 2005. Rumors that Pitt had fallen for actress Angelina Jolie began when they were filming the movie Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Jolie and Pitt both denied any claims of adultery, with Jolie declaring in an interview in 2005, "To be intimate with a married man, when my own father cheated on my mother, is not something I could forgive. I could not look at myself in the morning if I did that. I wouldn't be attracted to a man who would cheat on his wife."[2] Pitt and Aniston were seen together publicly after announcing their separation, even at a dinner party for her 36th birthday in February, and friends of the couple had declared they were reconciling. [3] [4] However, Aniston officially filed for divorce on March 25, 2005 which was finalized on October 2, 2005.[citation needed]

Media reports have speculated that the split was due to Aniston's refusal to have children; t-shirts were being sold right after their separation with the phrase "I'll Have Your Baby, Brad!" splashed across the front. [5] Even actress Eva Longoria was seen out shopping wearing an "I'll Have Your Baby, Brad!" t-shirt and later, upon learning that Aniston was hurt by this, sent a public apology [6][7]. Aniston vehemently denied this was the cause of their split later on in an August 2005 Vanity Fair interview, stating, "I've never in my life said I didn't want to have children... I've always wanted to have children, and I would never give up that experience for a career." Aniston also revealed that her divorce prompted her to reach out to her mother, from whom she was estranged for nearly a decade. They initially became estranged when Nancy talked about her daughter on a TV show and later wrote a book titled From Mother and Daughter to Friends: A Memoir (1999).[10][11]

She has also stated that she was devastated by the death of her longtime therapist, whose work helped to make the separation from Pitt easier.[12] Summing up her relationship with Pitt, Aniston has said that their relationship, which she does not regret, was "seven very intense years together" and that "it was a beautiful, complicated relationship."[13]

Since the couple's divorce, Aniston has been romantically linked with actor Vince Vaughn. In August 2006, Aniston denied rumors that the two were engaged or that Vaughn had proposed.[14] In October 2006, gossip magazine Us Weekly quoted sources from Vaughn that the couple had broken up.[15] In December 2006, representatives for both Aniston and Vaughn confirmed that they had indeed split up a few weeks before when Aniston visited Vaughn in London.[16]

She has had two septoplasties which she maintains were to thin her deviated septum — one incorrectly done in 1994 and one in early 2007. This is a simple medical procedure that helps cure a common condition that can lead to breathing difficulty and trouble sleeping. However, the press has speculated that these procedures were actually cosmetic.
