Jennifer Aniston, an actress from Hollywood, has talked about how her parents’ troubled marriage and bitter split affected her own love life. She says it was “difficult and challenging.”

Aniston, who plays Rachel on Friends, has been married twice. She was first married to Brad Pitt from 2000 to 2005, and then she was married to Justin Theroux from 2015 to 2018. She has opened up about her hard life.

“It was always a little bit difficult for me in relationships, I think, because I really was kind of alone. I don’t know.” In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, Aniston said of her parents John Aniston and Nancy Dow, “My parents, watching my family’s relationship, didn’t make me kind of go, “Oh, I can’t wait to do that.””

When she talked about how their tumultuous divorce affected her own love life in the long run, the 54-year-old said it felt ‘easier’ to just be alone. “I didn’t like the idea of sacrificing who you were or what you needed, so I didn’t really know how to do that,’ she said, before adding: ‘So it was almost easier to just be kind of solo. So I didn’t have any real training in that give-and-take.”

“It’s just about not being afraid to say what you need and what you want. And it’s still a challenge for me in a relationship,” Jennifer said.

She went on, “I’m really good at every other job I have, and that’s sort of the one area that’s a little.”

She also said that she spends most of her time with her pet dog, who has helped her feel less lonely. She even made a joke about sleeping with her dog.

Jennifer Aniston’s words come just a few weeks after it was reported that she is getting support from her ex-husband Justin as she continues to mourn the death of her father.
