Alright, folks, let’s talk about something a little juicy. While we’re not here to judge, sources close to the situation tell us that Justin Theroux is absolutely glowing now that his marriage to Jennifer Aniston is officially over. Can you believe it? According to insiders, Justin felt like he was stuck in a gilded cage during their two-year marriage. But now, the 46-year-old star of The Leftovers has his freedom back, and he’s making the most of it. “He’s finally back to being himself,” one source revealed. And honestly, who can blame him?
Since the split, Justin has been spotted out and about, enjoying life to the fullest. He attended a birthday party for Jimmy Kimmel’s son, hung out with friends, and—get this—has been seen smiling. If you recall, smiles weren’t exactly his go-to expression when he was by Jennifer’s side. As one insider put it, “He was never cut out for married life.” And it seems like the breakup has given Justin a fresh lease on life. “He’s happier now than he’s been in years,” the source added.
Why the Breakup Makes Sense
Now, let’s dive a little deeper into why this breakup might have been the best thing for both Justin and Jennifer. While they did share a love at one point, their lifestyles couldn’t have been more different. Justin’s a city guy through and through—he loves the energy, the freedom, and the spontaneity of New York City. On the other hand, Jennifer is all about LA—a place where she thrives in her own way. These contrasting lifestyles created a rift between them from the start. It’s not that they didn’t care for each other—it’s just that their worlds didn’t align as neatly as they hoped.

Since the split, Justin has embraced his free-spirited nature. He’s been seen biking around the city, soaking up the sunshine, and simply enjoying life without needing to check in with anyone. Jennifer, on the other hand, tends to prefer staying in unless she’s promoting something. “He’s living life on his own terms now,” one insider told Life & Style. “Jen only left the house when she had to for work. Justin, on the other hand, is a New Yorker who loves being out and about every single night.”
How They Broke the News
The couple officially announced their split on February 15, 2018, through a statement from Jennifer’s rep, Stephen Huvane. In true Hollywood fashion, they wanted to take control of the narrative before the gossip mills went into overdrive. The statement read, “Normally we would handle this privately, but given the gossip industry’s inability to resist speculation and fabrication, we wanted to share the truth directly.”
They went on to say, “Above all, we are determined to maintain the deep respect and love that we have for one another.” It’s a classy way to end things, don’t you think? They also mentioned, “We have decided to part ways as a couple, but look forward to continuing our cherished friendship.” But here’s the thing: with Justin clearly thriving as a single man, it’s hard to tell just how close their friendship remains these days.
