Full statement from Aniston and  Theroux on separation 

'In an effort to reduce any further speculation, we have decided to announce our separation. This decision was mutual and lovingly made at the end of last year. We 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. 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. '

According to TMZ, the former Friends star was last seen at her estranged husband's apartment in New York City's Greenwich Village in October, with sources telling the website that she'd stopped regular visits as far back as August. 

According to The Sun, the paparazzi is another reason for the split, after they took up residency in a park opposite their home, which infuriated the neighbours.

It's said that because of this, said neighbours covered Justin's beloved motorcycle with bits of Bologna sausage one day in an act of protest.

Justin apparently blamed Jennifer for this, as the paparazzi were pestering the couple more so for pictures of her, rather than him.

Meanwhile Jennifer celebrated her 49th birthday just days ago as Justin was noticeably absent in the photos shared on social media from the festivities in Malibu, California. 

The Friends star was joined by gal pals Courteney Cox, Andrea Bendewald, Leigh Kilton-Smith and Kristin Hahn on Sunday.

The previous night Jennifer was spotted sharing friendly hugs and kisses with Pharrell Williams outside of Ellen DeGeneres' star-studded 60th birthday party in LA.

Justin had admitted being married to Jennifer has had a calming effect on him.

He explained: 'Obviously, I'm married. I think marriage taught me to settle a little bit. It does have a calming effect. I think it's at what age you make that commitment. When you hear about people in the '50s getting married at 20, you're like, What were they thinking? My grandparents were together for over 50 years. My grandfather used to write one sentence every day in his journal: "I love Anne more than ever today." I think that was his meditation - keeping him in his marriage, and also his appreciation for it. It was very touching.'

'She bought the mansion and it underwent extensive renovations. That is what Jen does: Buys houses, renovates and then sells for a huge profit.'

'The mansion is going to be a pocket listing, and if it doesn’t sell that way, it will be listed on the open market,' the source said, adding the actress has already been looking for her next project for some time.

It all comes just a week after Jennifer showcased the same home for Architectural Digest's March 2018 issue.

A look back at Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux's romance...

Where it all began: Jennifer and Justin first worked together on Wanderlust

Where it all began: Jennifer and Justin first worked together on Wanderlust

2007 

Jennifer first met Justin through Ben Stiller, who co-wrote Tropic Thunder with him. She said of Justin at the time: 'At first you think he could be like a serial killer, but he is actually the nicest person in the world.'

2010

They worked together on a movie called Wanderlust. Justin was in a 14-year relationship with stylist Heidi Bivens at the time but there's no suggestion that anything happened between him and Jennifer while they were still together.

2011 

The rumour mill went wild when Jennifer and Justin both appeared at the MTV Movie Awards afterparty in LA. They moved in together soon after.

2012 

Justin proposed to Jennifer on his 41st birthday. His rep told People magazine at the time: 'Justin Theroux had an amazing birthday on Friday, receiving an extraordinary gift when his girlfriend, Jennifer Aniston, accepted his proposal of marriage.' Jennifer later said: 'Yes, I'm very happy. I'm extremely lucky, and I'm extremely happy.'

2015 

The couple got married and said their vows in front of a small group of family and friends at a tent on their Bel Air property. An insider told Life & Style at the time that the wedding 'wasn’t as big and traditional as Jen originally hoped for... it was unique and heartfelt, just like Jen and Justin.' Justin later said: 'It's so much more special when it's just your closest friends and family and it's lovely. We wanted it to be a peaceful environment, you don't want it to be hectic.' The honeymooned in Bora Bora with a handful of close pals. 

2016

Jennifer told Glamour magazine she was sick of hearing pregnancy rumours about herself all the time. She said: 'If your body is in a normal moment of having had a bite or two, or you’re having a moment of bloat, then there’s arrows circled around your stomach, telling you that you’re pregnant. Having a child, as we know, is no one’s business except the couple or individual that’s going through it. We're seeing women through that very narrow lens so that if we don't have a baby or a white picket fence, then we're useless. That we're not living up to our purpose, sadly... It's shocking to me that we are not changing the conversation. Women need to support each other. We've come so far.'

2017

At the end of last year, Jennifer and Justin split but kept it a secret. She also did a shoot showing off the inside of her home, suggesting they could be planning to sell the home, using the magazine spread as a way to show it off before it goes on the market. Justin was not present.

2018

The couple were last pictured together in January, on holiday in Cabo, Mexico, after having already split, as they remain determined to stay the 'best of friends.' They announced the split publicly just two months later. They told ET: 'In an effort to reduce any further speculation, we have decided to announce our separation. This decision was mutual and lovingly made at the end of last year. We 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. Whatever else is printed about us that is not directly from us, is someone else’s fictional narrative.
