Growing up, Jennifer Aniston<\/strong><\/a> didn\u2019t have any positive marriage role models. Her parents, model Nancy Dow and soap star John Aniston, divorced when she was just 9 years old. \u201cWatching my family\u2019s relationship didn\u2019t make me kind of go, \u2018Oh, I can\u2019t wait to do that,\u2019\u201d the actress, 54, tells WSJ Magazine<\/em>. \u201cI didn\u2019t like the idea of sacrificing who you were or what you needed, so I didn\u2019t really know how to do that. So it was almost easier to just be kind of solo.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Since splitting from Justin Theroux<\/strong><\/a> in 2018, Jen, who was previously married to Brad Pitt<\/strong><\/a> from 2000 to 2005, hasn\u2019t been linked with anyone seriously. \u201cIt\u2019s just about not being afraid to say what you need and what you want,\u201d the Morning Show<\/em> star explains. \u201cAnd it\u2019s still a challenge for me. I\u2019m really good at every other job I have, and that\u2019s sort of the one area that\u2019s a little\u2026\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Though Jen\u2019s the first to admit that she finds romantic relationships \u201ca little bit difficult,\u201d that doesn\u2019t mean that the Friends<\/em> alum has given up on finding someone to grow old with. \u201cJen still believes in happily ever after, but she\u2019s not going to wait around for it,\u201d a source tells Life & Style<\/em>. \u201cHer heart is wide open, and she\u2019s open to whoever wants to take a crack at it. But Jen doesn\u2019t need a man in her life to feel fulfilled. Not anymore.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
