Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux declared their split in February 2018 after being married for less than three years. However, it was reported the former couple is interested to maintain an amicable relationship forever.

The 51-year-old actress and Theroux announced their breakup news in February 2018. They were married for only two and a half years then. A joint statement was released by the duo mentioning that they would like to remain good pals even after their break up. 

The former couple seems to stick to their words even now as it appears Jen and Theroux are in constant touch with one another. The actor told Entertainment Tonight that his ex-wife requested him to follow her on Instagram page. 

Justin Theroux further revealed to the publication that Aniston texted him and asked him why he was not following her on social media. When he told his former ladylove that he was following her, she said he did not. 

Fans would remember that the Friends alum created quite a stir over the Internet when she created her account on Instagram. Her first picture left her followers hysteric and broke the Internet. The picture featured her fellow castmates from the popular sitcom – David Schwimmer, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry, Lisa Kudrow, and Courteney Cox.  

It was an incredibly popular snap with over two million likes within the first three hours of posting. The charming actress made her debut on Instagram a few weeks after she and her other co-stars of Friends celebrated 25 years of the premiere of the popular TV sitcom. 

Incidentally, Justin Theroux was among the first followers who commented on the first post of The Morning Show actress. In an interview given to Access Hollywood, the actor had confessed that he felt the need to comment on his ex-wife’s initial Instagram post. 

Theroux sounded thrilled that Jen had started her journey on social media and denied he was aware that the Murder Mystery actress was joining Instagram. The actor further mentioned that the public will now get to see how hilarious Jennifer Aniston can be. 

Meanwhile, Jen had mentioned in an interview that she thinks her relationship with both her ex-husbands- Brad Pitt and Theroux were “successful” despite their breakups. She felt the decision to part was right as it made all of them happy. 

However, Jennifer Aniston did agree many challenges existed in both her previous romances. The actress also mentioned that she did not want to stick to marriage simply because of the fear of surviving or staying alone.
