These are the first photos of Justin Theroux and Jennifer Aniston together in months! I think the last time they were photographed together was…? December, in Cabo. Jennifer has been in LA this whole time and Justin has mostly been in NYC, although he did go back to LA last week, just in time to do some pre-Oscar partying with Jennifer at the CAA party. By that point, they hadn’t been in the same city in something like 10 or 11 weeks.
According to both People and Us Weekly, Jennifer and Justin were spotted out in NYC after having lunch with Jason Bateman at Fred’s (in Barney’s). Which is nice. I love Jason Bateman, and Jennifer’s friendship with Jason is a redeeming feature for her. I didn’t know Bateman and Theroux were tight, but I guess they’re close in age and they run in the same group of actors.
Shall we discuss whether or not Jennifer has a bump? I don’t think it’s a bump. I think she’s just wearing layers and that’s a bulky sweater-jacket underneath her coat, and the extra knit fabric is giving Aniston a bump illusion. But if you want to believe in a Bump, go ahead. There seems to be more “evidence” here than usual.
As for Jennifer’s grand return to NYC… it’s interesting to me. Most sources agree that Jennifer is pretty much over the New York lifestyle and she wants to live in Bel Air with Justin full-time. But sources say Justin still loves living in NYC and he wants to work out a bicoastal living arrangement with Jen. I think it’s a good sign for their relationship that Jennifer seems willing to travel for him. We’ll see.
PS… I kind of like her boots. Is that crazy? Her shoe game is usually so boring, so maybe I’m just happy to see her mix it up.

Oh my god, she’s 45! Stop this bump watching already.
yeah…I don’t think the bump is gonna be happening with JA.
and that’s certainly by design.
Agree, the BIG news is HE has new boots! Stop the presses people.
Lol. Yup!!!
The bump speculation has to stop. She’s not having a baby and never will. She must be even more sick of this nonsense than those of us who have to read about it are. She is dressing for the cold, not so speculation can be fueled about how lots of women have babies in their 40’s, blah, blah. It’s called a “sweater” underneath the coat.
Sorry, posted at the wrong place.
Yep, and I like his boots better.
There are a lot of 40+ moms in Hollywood and in real life so I don’t know why her age is still a factor. Laura Linney, 49, just had a baby. Monica Bellucci (44), Halle Berry, Uma (41), Madonna (41), Sandra (46?), Kelly Preston (48).
With Aniston it’s just the feeling that she might not be into babies and she pretty much admitted as such although she stays coy (no doubt so people keep on guessing).
But the possibility of her having a child (whether through adoption or biologically) is still very much there. The probability however…
I think those most of those pregnancies were not first time babies. I think the odds are different for first time Moms.
She was just seen in a pic posted here last week; Saturday or Friday with no bump. But that picture was not on many if any sites.
First-time moms: Salma Hayek: 41; Mariah Carey (42); Geena Davis: 45 & 47 (twins) and Halle.
I don’t think Aniston is pregnant btw, just saying we have enough examples of older moms so it would be possible. I’m not interested in seeing Aniston as a mom unlike ScarJo or people like Kristen Stewart because their personalities are polarising.
Artemis, I think that most if not all of those women probably went through fertility treatments and/or ivf with top notch specialists. Yes some women have healthy babies deep into their 40’s naturally, but that is not the norm. Once you turn 35 you get that “advanced maternal age” stamp on your obgyn file.
You have to really want a baby to endure the hardships of fertility treatments. I don’t think Jen falls into that camp. I think she was open to it when she was younger, but the need has faded as she has gotten older. Biologically it makes sense that your desire for children sometimes fades with your decreasing fertility.
Lastly it could also be that Justin doesn’t want kids. I always thought that the primary reason it didn’t work out with Heidi after 13 years was that they couldn’t agree on marriage or children. If someone wants marriage and kids and you don’t, it probably won’t work out. That is of course speculation on my part.
Plenty of older women can conceive naturally. We don’t know how these women conceived nor is it our business tbh.
Personally, I would never want to bear a child after 35 and I do have some thoughts about it. The fact still remains that Aniston has plenty of options. I’m talking possibility vs probability and you will not see me argue about her possibilities.
@JessMa, who wrote: “Lastly it could also be that Justin doesn’t want kids. I always thought that the primary reason it didn’t work out with Heidi after 13 years was that they couldn’t agree on marriage or children.”
Why would Heidi Bivens ‘have’ to want marriage and kids? Many women don’t, you know. It could be that Heidi and Justin lasted so long because they both wanted the same things out of life … which didn’t include marriage or kids.
Also, usually when one party wants something the other party doesn’t, when the relationship is over, that party quickly finds someone who gives them what they want. Don’t stone me, but I am SO using Brad Pitt as an example. Likewise, if Justin was the party who wanted kids, he would SO have them now with Jen … either biological or adopted. On the other hand, It’s been nearly three years now and Heidi Bivens hasn’t gotten married or had a kid.
Artemis
This subject is valid, but has almost nothing to do with Aniston.
She and her PR start the bump rumors only to shoot them down later. There is an amazingly long history of this with her.
Regardless of her age she is very likely to never have a child, naturally or otherwise because she doesn’t seem to want one. And that’s fine. It’s just 1 of the 3 main ways she stays in the tab news.
1. BF/Marriage/Break-up
2. Pregnancy/Adoption Rumors.
3. Her Ex Brad and his SO Angelina.
And 3 is really more of using a combo of 1 and 2 so the spot light is somewhat stolen if Brad or Angie are expanding their family or releasing a film.
This is as we all know happening without fail.
@Florc
The fact that she constantly denies pregnancy rumors, makes me think that her pr has a hand in it–the lady doth protest too much, so to speak. From what I have heard from older posters, Jennifer has had pregnancy rumors since the 90s—they said that she said in ’96 or ’97 that she told PEOPLE that she wanted to be a young mother, and that was shortly before she got with Brad. When she got with Brad, there were rumors left and right about her—she went on SNL making fun of them. So she’s had pregnancy rumors for at least 15 or so years—she’s 45 years old–why doesn’t she just ignore them? And she’s not a little girl–she knows that a denial creates another story. So, beyond pr reasons, I can’t imagine why her pr denies crap like that all the time–and I’m not talking about your pr denying crap to gossip cop–but going after specific stories and releasing a statement.
If I was Jennifer, and I liked to get my drink on like her, you wouldn’t NOT see me without a margarita glass–if I wanted to deny the rumors. Or hold a cigarette when I see paps….otherwise, I would just ignore it.
I get that the rumors might be hurtful to her if she really does want a baby (and who knows? I’m speculating from the outside–I don’t truly know her)–but there’s a way to handle that sort of thing. Constantly denying rumors isn’t. In fact, if she really wanted them to stop, all she would have to do is say (during #12345556432 of saying that she wants a baby) is that she’s having issues conceiving. DONE.
Emma I don’t mean to suggest all women want marriage and kids. There are men and women that want those things, and men and women who do not. Maybe Justin wanted to get married and Heidi didn’t. Who knows? I just meant that if Justin doesn’t want kids and Jen is unsure, I doubt she is going to put herself through fertility treatments. Again this is just harmless speculation. For all I know they have 100 embryos on ice.
Also I am not going to throw rocks at you for mentioning Brad. I am not one of those people that feels personally invested in Brangeloonie vs Jenloonie saga.
I’m sure this will play well into her 60’s.
That thought gives me the shivers.
I don’t think it’s a bump and I think that “bump watch” for Jennifer Aniston should cease and desist. IMO, she doesn’t want kids, which is completely fine.
Wow, that’s the bumpiest bump the paps have ever papped on Aniston.
Maybe she’s just hiding her doggie bag from lunch.
JA (to JT): Do all these layers make me look lumpy?
JT: A little in the tummy.
JA: Perfect.
Haha- yep.
+10,000
🙂
Doubt it considering she has signed on for at least 2 movies to film soon. Would you risk filming at 45?
And there was a pic of her in a tight dress last weekend, no bump. Bumps do not grow that quick!
I think they call that a coat. It’s what people wear when it’s a little chilly outside.
I know, right? Looks like she is trying to stay warm to me.
I’m getting really worried about what people might be saying about me. (Side-eyes coat on the rack.)
LOL!
I occasionally manage to button my purse inside my coat. People probably assume I’m the next Octomom.
Look, I know JA doesn’t shy away from using the press, but the idea that EVERY single thing she does and wears is all some big attention getting conspiracy is a bit nutty, IMO.
Yep…people just make up things as they go — anything to knock her down.
Celcilia, just like you make up things to knock down a certain, much more interesting, A-list actress?
much more interesting A-List actress?? meh…that’s just a matter of opinion.
Ok, so what is so interesting about Jen??? Her hair? Her body? Her Mexican vacations? Her hair again? Her tan? Her hair again……That sums her up basically, that is all she seems to be.
Yep…people just make up things as they go — anything to knock her down.
Cecilia is a case of a pot calling kettle black. Ditto
yep…I should be over on the Jolie post bashing away. What was I thinking??
When there is one, you will be as you always are.
I love that it’s obviously really cold-but she’s not wearing gloves so we can see she’s wearing her engagement ring.
Maybe she just doesn’t wear gloves, ever.
I don’t.
My relatives keep buying me gloves as a present, but I don’t like gloves and have never worn them – not even at -20 Celsius.
Good. Glad they’re still together. This is a perfect union based on a firm foundation of vanity and attention-seeking.
I’m more interested in Jason Bateman than hearing about these two. Snooze.
That was my first thought too!! I’m so tired of the JA bump watch. I especially think she uses the “bump watch” articles to keep her name in the press. Almost every article I recall about JA in the past 5 years has been about a bump that is never really there, but sometimes she dresses up to fuel speculation. Even with an engagement, the bump stories seem to get her the most press….and she appears to know it.
My thoughts exactly!
I saw a comment from one of her fans on a site saying she and Justin were the most High Profile Couple in Hollywood.
I had no idea that was the case. It was nice to know.
Her fans can be quite delusional most of the time. Most people have zero clue who Justin is.
Yes, more JB please
There she goes again. Pregnancy purse. check. Clothes that give her an illusion bump? check. Badly fitted satin dress part deux (is that bloat, a burrito, a Justine Jr?? Oh my GAH!! Scream the cat ladies everywhere!!) Always make sure the ‘talk’ is about a bump and the sad pathetic hopes and dreams your also aging minivan majority still wish for you, rather than your obviously disintegrating/dunzo phoney baloney relationship. LOL The bumpy clothes are a way to keep the obvious truth from taking over. Deflect relationship woes, with fake preggo talk. She’s like an atomic watch, she’s so predictable.
By the way — I called April as their official split, a long time ago. They’re waiting until after award season is well and truly over. These pics will probably constitute their last ‘appearance,’ together – think back her flying to London to pow wow with an already departed Vaughn, to make it seem like a mutual split they’d conferred upon. Same thing here.
Good god!
Thank you Cleo!!
She likes to play the media. She can’t say she didn’t know coming out like this would fuel rumors of pregnancy. From the sites I have visited many people are calling her out for it. Everyone is tired of her games people can see through it and it has gotten old. Its a shame to be known only for her hair, relationship troubles, “supposed” nice body which is just average.
You have hit the Nail on the head. This is big business and must be played like a fine violin.
I think that, at the latest, they’ll be done after Justin’s show his tv—this summer. After that, I don’t think Justin will care anymore.
Also–you mean April this year?
We shall see–I’ll take you up on that bet–I’m waiting until his tv show premieres…but maybe that doesn’t matter. Fans of Justin probably don’t give a flying f-ck if he’s with Jennifer or not–so there’s that.
Love her boots!

It wasn’t 10 or 11 weeks. More like
3 or 4. He was in LA through most of January.
@Fannie, who wrote: “It wasn’t 10 or 11 weeks. More like
3 or 4. He was in LA through most of January.”
It’s now the middle of March.
so it was 5 or 6 weeks. either way you look at it — 10 or 11 weeks is an exaggeration.
So, she finally joined him in NYC. Yes, they had lunch together, but remember there were photos of Jen and Brad frolicking on the beach 24 hours before they announced their separation. I don’t think a lunch date at Barney’s is significant.
I’m 17 weeks along and I’m not even showing yet. I’ve had larger taco bumps than that.
Congratulations :0)
She’s wearing a coat and a sweater. Presumably because it’s cold. That’s newsworthy?
OMG, she’s intentionally padding out front again to get attention. We know it’s not a baby, like she wants to get started. It’s more likely a beer belly. Just when is that little beer belly going to be born?
It’s actually due to the style of the sweater she is wearing.
yep…she’s not padding anything. She has that flowy cardigan on under the coat.
I just can’t with those skinny jeans on him.
I like JT’s boots. No one can make me hate his skinny jeans. Damn he is friggin sexy, and Jen has amazing style too.
I agree
I like her boots. That’s about all I’ve got.
Don’t like her boots and she has zero game.
Is he wearing a cape? Why is there always something covering his behind? He didn’t even hold the door for her. Their body language says “forced”. Hope they stay together and work it out.
I think it’s the ends of his scarf coming out the bottom of his jacket.
Ok, but if not the scarf, there is always a sweater rapped around him. Who wears a coat and a sweater on his waist, he like Kanye got the same outfit on everyday….what happened to edginess? Her hair looks good.
A sweater or flannel tied around the hips was pretty common in the 80s and 90s.
“Is he wearing a cape? Why is there always something covering his behind?”
…may be someone missed a few yoga sessions?
*
YES! I was specifically looking to see if anyone noticed his cape, ROFL. He has been sporting that look in that last few pap shots of him (that I see here, anyway). His bum is ALWAYS covered by the sweater wrapped around his waist. Cause he’s KEWL like that, you know? Plus, maybe he is getting that frog butt that afflicts men as they age? (You know, they look like a frog standing on its hind legs…)
Just about to say that—douche move. My dad, whenever we’re at a restaurant or something, always goes in front of us to open the door. But it’s not as bad as those umbrella pictures….
I HATE guys in skinny jeans…ugh, plus he wears those big boots. He looks ridiculous. He’s forty. Wear some ‘normal’ pants—that would improve his look by 100%.
@HY……only her fans are delusional?!?!?
Who are all of these sources that know what she thinks where she goes, who she sees and the details of her life with Justin?
Apparently she’s been in NYC for a week or so. Maybe NYC is not the papparazzi fishbowl she thought.
Or maybe nobody in NYC is interested in her and that’s why she hates it there.
They always look the same. This picture could of been taken two years ago and no one would of been able to tell the difference!
LOL. True that. Man, is his hair ever artfully arranged there. You see the Monk like foward combed sides that swirl about the bald crown and receding hairline — that do’ has to take some industrial strength hair fixative spray to stay that way in the icy cold NYC wind — wtf is it, Gorilla Glue??
I guess balding brings out a particular creativity in people. What would you do?
I say he should go for hair extensions and a haircare line of his own.
Shave off all the hair and grow a goatee. I think that is the best look for balding men unless they have a weird shaped head.
If ever a couple could benefit from being bi-coastal, it’s this one.
And not even living together on each coast — they should live apart some of the time.
Meh on the ‘baby’ bump—she’s wearing one of those thick, comfy sweaters….
I think that this summer will be THE END. That’s when Justin’s show comes on. If it’s a hit, he’s out of there. I think he’s bored with tanning, margaritas, and Cabo.
Well I have met her, liked her and friends who work with her love her. She is very self-deprecating, aware and embarrassed by the fact she is over-rated and jokes about how ridiculous. Always being super sweet to everyone else, very nurturing and warm, generous to a fault. (Heather Locklear is same way BTW very funny too (even when she was at height of her fame joking about her looks etc- again self-deprecating, as is Sandra Bullock.) Plus Jen has been through wretched times, actually worked and still works her bum off… so hey she is the total Anti-Gwyneth! One person I know said she has only seen her even the slightest bit not 100% nice – just so-so – not rude, was when she was exhausted, insecure or going through hell. At that is like 1 in every 500 times she has worked with her. She is a sweetheart and has truly been trying to get pregnant for a decade, had at least one miscarriage… so the constant bump rumors aren’t for attention – they actually upset her terribly, as do the Brad stories as he did break her heart to the core (like Angie too though know nothing of her other than her charity work which is good enough for me!) but was bad enough when all the divorce drama happened and to have it relived is another painful reminder to Jen that takes a toll.) So from me and my friends that know her very well – again, nice and normal – and again total opposite of Gwyenth who thinks she is uterribly nderatated 🙂 lol but she really does. Heard varying opinions on Justin….hmmmm?
Interesting post! Would love to hear more details. Unlike many people who post here, I have a soft spot for Jen. I don’t think she’s the greatest actress but she seems nice and pleasant enough. I have never read about her being a diva or causing problems on sets.
In terms of the perpetual bump watch, I’m sure she was wearing a winter coat and a sweater for the same reason most of us do-to keep warm! I highly, highly doubt that she was wearing them to instigate bump rumors.
Well let’s see. Know some don’t like Mandy Ingber’s Yogalosophy and that’s fine, to each her own, BUT in real life, sweet too, funny and really caring, some people just don;t get her humor. Jen just felt had to speak up because so many of people that work with Jen (PR and other more personal areas), also work with GOOP, the attention hog. And Jen has not minded at all that they are working basically full time on Gwyneth’s “career” as in fulltime PR sham and neurotic egomaniac 🙂 and instead of resenting it – Jen is actually relieved to get light off herself, even though she is still having to pay for work they are not doing. She does NOT like being asked to socialize at LA parties etc for PR and was livid Gwyneth crashed her party visa vie mutual PR. (She loves early Coldplay – was only reason she finally allowed it – and true to form, to her shock Chris is sweet and Gwynie acted sweet til she bitched him out in anther room as they all stood hearing – sad. Perfect example that not all actors/actresses alike, not fair to generalize! If it were other way around, desperate attention starved bully Paltrow would be livid! Literally everyone I know that knows them says total night and day – Jen wants you to feel better and is warm, Gwyneth lives to hurt other women and is the b word. Mystery is their men – deal with Justin (?) and more so Chris (for oh so many reasons) and yes Chris is nice and yes it is an arrangement, not marriage that has made him miserable and kids too. Will say Jen wants kids, Brad who I admire did spin that somewhat with Angie who I also admire – but that was a planned PR tactic as pre-emptive strike that hurt Jen deeply and frankly lousy to do to her… and man, Jen or Angie as wouldnever embarrass them the way Goopers has hers with all the TMI and physically! Jen just doesn’t ever treat people so cruelly or act so ruthlessly – not in her at all, like most of us! So hate when she gets called out and just wanted to put my 2 cents worth in. Keep you posted, unless the horrible mean posters come on and ruin it for me and rest of it, my friends just laugh but it bothers me……take care Becky1!
So, what about the stories that Jen discouraged HW from using Heidi Bivens as a stylist?
How does she feel about Chelsea slagging Angelina. A lot of people think Jen approves of it.
If she doesn’t like the baby bump/poor Jen narrative, why doesn’t she do something to change the story? narrative
The bump stories bother her so she decides to put a bump in her Smartwater ad .Makes perfect sense
GMAB
Sweet Jen, eh?
Apparently the only drama in that divorce was from her not letting go (when he obviously did) and her inability to refrain from media commentary which led to the fake love triangle . Now the joke is on her. The other half moved on, created a large family and moved into his destiny. He is now flying with the eagles and soaring in life.
The other one, “sweet” Jen, as you say… has been quacking and flapping along like a duck the last 10 years . She gets in her own way. There NEVER was a triangle or a difficult divorce because the announcement of the separation and the finalization of the divorce took place within 8 months.
What was difficult, obviously, was Jen moving on with her life post-divorce. There are, at this point, a library collection of articles and interviews post-divorce where her neurosis shines through for the world to see.
Also, while legally separated she entered into a serious relationship with Vince Vaughn. It still amazes me how the JenHens always forget to mention the men in her life over the last 10 years outside of Brad.
Eh. She likes to play this baby bump guessing game to get attention then denies it and pretends how she hates the baby watch pressure. Just like her engagement. She loves giving all the information about her upcoming wedding – how she picked the dress and the venue then complains how people are so pressed on her for not tying the knot yet.
They look like they just had The Talk, and from the looks of it, it didn’t go very well……
Ooooo… yeah… I can see that… re: people talking about how he didn’t open the door for her. How can we tell from these pictures? She’s walking in front; the pics could’ve just been snapped post “hold.”
Um, that’s sorta the point (about her walking out in front)….my dad specifically goes in front of us (kids and mom) to open the door for us. If we (me and him) go out to lunch or dinner, he opens the car door and the restaurant door for us. It wouldn’t be a HUGE deal, at least not for me, if I hadn’t seen those pictures of them in NY—it was raining, they were walking side by side–he was holding an umbrella over HIM, while she was getting wet. Douche move.
@ VC, regarding Umbrella-gate, I’m pretty sure she was wearing a hat, and probably said don’t worry about it, as it was barely drizzling. Also I think Tara means that we don’t know if he opened the door for her, because either she opened it and exited first, or he opened it, and allowed her to exit first. We only see that she exited ahead of him.
@lucy-
VC is right. Whether she had a hat on or NOT, his concern should be about her. Her welfare should be above his. When my husband puts the umbrella over my head, he just does it for safety and protection measures. There is no discussion. Same goes for opening the door for me, whether it’s the car door or any door. And I really appreciate his thoughtfulness.
It’s obviously the bulging sweater she has underneath.
Looks like her left hand is in her coat pocket.
Whatever with the bump. I look pregnant all the time 🙂 Her boots are gross, I would wear his.
Nice one joy uhley
I think she was cold.
Bottom line here is–Justin is a New Yorker who loves the city and thrives here. Jen sadly is an LA girl-sunny and yoga filled and it’s soo boring. Hard tho to overlook the zillion dollar mansion -so what’s a guy to do? Can’t see Jen living here for the museums and culture etc.-she doesn’t get it. Baby-no baby-that’s not the issue. He’s bored and unhappy in LA and that’s that.
