Justin Theroux didn’t give his ex Heidi Bivens a heads up about the wedding

wenn2020555

While the old-school Jen Hens and Brangeloonies obsess about what Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux’s secret wedding means for the Uncool Bermuda Triangle of Doom, I’m sure many have forgotten that Jennifer actually “stole” Justin from another woman. I’ve always said this – if you truly believe that Angelina Jolie “stole” Brad from Jennifer, there’s just as much evidence to indicate that Jennifer “stole” Justin from his then-live-in girlfriend of 14 years, Heidi Bivens. If anything, Heidi was the most sympathetic person in the whole mess that was JustJen and Brangelina – not only did she get obviously dumped by Justin for another woman, but he made her move out of the NYC apartment they shared. Heidi isn’t an actress or movie star, she’s a stylist and she works to live, job to job.

There were even some stories that Jennifer felt so guilty about the whole situation that she met with Heidi privately (which I always took to mean that Jennifer paid off Heidi to keep her mouth shut). The meeting was somewhat confirmed by Heidi’s mom too. In any case, no one gave Heidi a heads up about the secret JustJen wedding.

Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux dated for more than four years before tying the knot Wednesday night in a surprise celebration. But before their big day, Theroux dated NYC stylist Heidi Bivens for a whopping 14 years — only to dump her for Aniston. And the wedding news blindsided her yet again.

Reached by RadarOnline.com about her ex’s wedding on Thursday morning, a stunned Bivens said she was “surprised” and declined to offer her congratulations before hanging up the phone.

Bivens was reportedly dumped by Theroux in March 2011, several months after he began filming Wanderlust with Aniston. The new couple were spotted out together beginning in May, and Bivens moved out of the apartment she had shared with Theroux in June.

By fall, Aniston reportedly held a secret meeting with Bivens in a suite at The Mercer hotel to clear the air about what actually happened between the three of them and get Bivens’ blessing. At the time, her mom Marilyn Bivens told Star, “It’s a very complicated time for all of us.”

When reached by Radar about the wedding, she declined to comment.

I love how even Radar plays around with the timeline of when Justin and Jennifer really started. They worked together in 2010 on Wanderlust, and he was still very much with Heidi, although he reportedly began spending a lot of time in Jennifer’s trailer during the filming of that movie. Then there were sightings of Justin and Jennifer together starting in March 2011, months after Wanderlust wrapped. There were even some conspiracy theories that they were out in public together in February 2011 (especially since it seems like Terry Richardson was photographing them at the time). Then, yes, Heidi didn’t move out of the shared apartment until June 2011. Just sayin’. If Angelina is a homewrecker, so is Jennifer. And Justin should have given Heidi a heads up.

    I didn’t give my ex a heads up when I married either.

    • Freddy Spaghetti says:

      I’m guilty of that too.

    • GoodNamesAllTaken says:

      Me neither. And if I had, after four years, I think he would have thought it was presumptuous of me to assume he “needed” a heads up. The only thing is, she might have to deal with reporters, so maybe it would be nice to know beforehand.

      • OrigialTessa says:

        Embarrassing doesn’t even begin to describe this potential conversation. I’d rather give my grandpa a play by play of the honeymoon than call up my ex after 4 years just to tell him something he doesn’t give a rats ass about and has long since moved on from.

      • GoodNamesAllTaken says:

        Lol, yeah, my ex remarried before I did, so I’m sure he would have been confused by the call.

      • Zwella Ingrid says:

        Heads up is probably not necessary, although if kids are involved I think it should be done, but since they are public figures, and the press might look to interview the ex, (exactly-what happened) it would have been the decent thing to do.

      • Sabrine says:

        Why should he give Bivens a heads up? There’s no need for that. It was over long ago. If he was with Bivens for 14 years and nothing came of it, obviously it was more of a habit type relationship and pretty much dead in the water anyway. You move on. There is absolutely no reason to give any ex a heads up.

      • Amelie says:

        Sabrine sorry but that is ridiculous. ‘nothing came of it’. Does there have to be? Remind me, we are in 2015, right? Is this the 1950s ‘put a ring on it or he doesn’t love you’ era? Seriously, is that a defense? Would you say that to Kurt Russell and Goldie? You don’t buy a home with someone and live with them out of habit, that is just silly. Obviously Justin loved Heidi enough to share 14 years of his life with, so it clearly was not dead in the water. You move on, you don’t cheat. Paper or no paper. 14 years qualifies as common law defacto marriage.

      • joan says:

        Why should you give your ex a heads up?

        Especially if you’re trying to avoid publicity about the wedding? How motivated is an ex to help you out?

        That’s separate from whether he cheated on his ex or she stole him from her.

      • crtb says:

        sorry Amelie but I agree with Sabrine. Nothing came of it!
        He wasn’t committed to her. Had he been he would have put a ring on it. Had he been committed to her he could not have been as easily taken. She was a girlfriend of convenience… someone you date until the right girl comes along. Her name wasn’t even on his lease. People call Princess Kate, “Katy Waity” because she hung in there for so long waiting for the prince would marry her. How is this different. 14 years is a long time. He just wasn’t into her.

    • Esmom says:

      Ditto. Wouldn’t even have occurred to me. We had both moved on after three-plus years.

      • Sabrine says:

        Yes, 14 years would have constituted a common law marriage but the fact is that Bivens was dumped quickly with little fanfare once Aniston came on the scene. This is why I think “nothing came of it.” Kurt and Goldie obviously have a much more solid relationship with staying power through decades. Theroux and Bivens did not have that or they’d still be together now.

      • Amelie says:

        The fact Heidi was dumped like any other celeb who gets with co-stars has no bearing on anything. It just means Justin is a cheater and Jennifer a homewrecker. That is all it means and that is the bottom line.

      • lola says:

        If only everyone moved on, wouldn’t it be a better world. Some people just cannot get over the fact it’s 2015, almost 2016, and not 2005.

        If I were Heidi Bevins, I wouldn’t want to hear from him, she probably wouldn’t recognize him if she saw him walking down the street, he’s had so much cosmetic surgery. I didn’t realize how much, till I saw the pictures of him and Heidi. Not a good looking guy, sort of “odd” looking. Oh well, if Jennifer loves him, who am I to criticize his looks, I don’t have to look at him, thank goodness. Hope they’re happy.

    • ojulia123 says:

      RIght?! They broke up years ago.

      • Jenni says:

        Exactly. BTW “If Angelina is a homewrecker, so is Jennifer. ” Disagree. Jennifer and Brad were married. Justin and Heidi were dating. Big difference.

      • Chloeee says:

        @jenni ‘dating’ for 14 years though. At that point you’re a little past dating. That’s might as well be a marriage

      • Tarsha says:

        Jenni, please, that is so pathetic and lame, don’t even TRY that one, ok? This is 2015, that moral gymnastics of married or not, is completely passé. Sorry, that excuse won’t work. There is NO difference. Brad and Jennifer had a married life of 2.5 years (according to them). Heidi and Justin were together for 14 years. If anything, 14 trumps 2.5 year ‘marriage’. Heidi and Justin had a home and relationship together for fourteen years. You don’t ‘date’ someone you LIVE with. They were in a defacto marriage. I suppose you think Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn are merely ‘dating’, too? 14 years trumps 4.5 years (2 years separated according to both Brad and Jen, so really their ‘marriage’ was only 2.5 years) in ANYONE’S language. Brad and Aniston were barely married and barely even had a relationship. Justin and Heidi were together for 14 years. That is around 3 times longer than the legal ‘marriage’ of Brad and Aniston, and around SEVEN TIMES LONGER than Brad and Aniston were actually together as a married couple. So don’t even try that lame flailing desperate card. It will not work. Sorry, this is 2015. 14 years trumps 2.5. Paper or no paper. And the term is ‘home’ wrecker, not marriage wrecker. Aniston most certainly is a ‘home’ wrecker.

      • belacqua says:

        Jenni seriously? you don’t date for 14 years, I am with my fiancée going on 8 years and the only difference is that we don’t have a paper to confirm it just our love oh and a baby on the way but I suppose that isn’t important either.

      • itzblissy says:

        marriage and living together is very different. Sure it might feel the same but its not.

        How long does it take two people living together to break up and never have to see each other again? as long as it takes to move all your stuff out (max 1 week)

        How long does it take to get a divorce? (months to years)

    • mimif says:

      Yeah but like the article states, RO called her up and was all yo the dude that left you for The Sexiest Woman alive just married her in a surprise wedding! Might have been courtesy to give her a head’s up so she had time to prepare for a media onslaught.

      • Kiddo says:

        How do they have her number? Why did she pick up? Does the Radar Online phone number look familiar? I ask because I get so many freaking robo-calls, if the number isn’t known, I let it go to voicemail. Who picks up blindly on a private cell or phoneline these days?

        ETA: Maybe she was wondering how she could save on her electric bill, or cut down on credit card debt, or even send western union money to the ‘IRS’ in Russia.

      • mimif says:

        God no wonder I can never get through to you.

      • Kiddo says:

        I did receive the drone package from Amazon that you sent, with the highball glasses, tho, so thanks. I meant to call you.

      • minime says:

        I had to laugh at your comment Kiddo (in a good way)…I had this discussion with my boyfriend countless times ’cause I really don’t see a reason to pick up the phone unless I know the number (plus there’s voicemail). He finds that really annoying…so yes, there are ppl who still just answer the phone without checking the number.

        About Justin…well, I also don’t see why should he tell his ex-girlfriend about it…and if I would be his ex-girlfriend I would also find it to be awkward. Why should she have something to say to the Media anyway…I would guess she doesn’t really care anymore.

      • Rachel says:

        If she’s a stylist, she probably uses her private cell number as a business number, also, so she has to view any strange number as a potential client.

        When I saw the headline, I was all WTF why should he have to give his ex a heads up?? He & Jen have been together for *years*. However, as mimif points out, she did find out from a tab calling her to get a reaction, so his publicist calling her to say hey you might get asked about this might not have been a bad idea.

      • Lena says:

        @Kiddo: as a stylist she probably can’t ignore any calls because they might be a new client or a client calling from another phone or something else related to her job.

      • ladyg says:

        It’s so weird to think about what technology has done to us. Does anybody else remember the time before caller ID? You just picked up the damn phone! And busy signals…..ahh, those were the days. Cause like, there was NO BETTER feeling than finally getting through to someone, you really wanted to talk to, after being rejected a few times by the Beep-beep-beep busy signal.

      • minime says:

        @ladyg
        lol I really admire anyone who has the patience to answer every single call.
        If I’m at work of course I’ll do that but not on my personal phone, no way.
        I told most of my friends that if it’s not urgent it’s better to send me an email/sms…more probable that they will get a faster answer anyway. It’s not to be impolite but I really dislike to talk on the phone and most of the times I don’t hear it, have it with me or can’t stop what I’m doing…It’s nice to chat with a friend on the phone but I really prefer to use to quickly schedule a face to face conversation…I love technology 😉

      • bellebottomblues says:

        my thought too…would I have called my ex?
        No….but I wouldnt have the press descending on me for a sound bite either.
        Just wouldve been respectful to do.

      • bellebottomblues says:

        ditto Clair! Would I have called my ex?
        No….but I wouldnt have the press descending on me for a sound bite either.
        Just would’ve been respectful to do.

    • Shambles says:

      When I read the headline, I thought, does he really owe her a heads up?
      *Head Scratch*
      But I’ve never really been in super serious, long term relationships until recently, let alone been married. So I’m not quite sure what the etiquette is. To me though, it just seems like it would be weird. Like me calling the guy I used to be head-over-heels for out of the blue one day to say, “Hey, just a heads up, I might get with someone else tonight.”

      • Kiddo says:

        Yeah, they probably didn’t end on the best of terms, and maybe she doesn’t want to hear from him, anyway. Apparently, they were trying to keep the wedding a secret, so reaching out to someone from 4 years past kind of defeats the purpose.

      • GoodNamesAllTaken says:

        If my ex had called me to tell me he was remarrying, I would have been nice, congratulations, but I would have secretly thought “get over yourself.”

      • Little Darling says:

        I think it’s just weird. It’s been such a long time. I can definitely see if they were co parenting together, then of course the lines of comms are still open. But to call your ex of over 4 years and say they’re marrying the person who maybe tainted the relationship, I think that’s classless and very rude. I mean, *maybe* just to warn her that paps might be around because of it. But no, JT didn’t really owe that to her.

        What he owed her was a breakup filled with integrity, a clear timeline and accountability on his behalf. Four years ago.

      • Shambles says:

        Kiddo, you make a great point about the secret wedding. If it was supposed to be all hush-hush, why would they have called anyone to give them a heads up, exes or no exes? Looking at it from that perspective, that kind of makes this a non-story.

        GNAT, I know right? It would have an air of, “in case you need time to prepare the shrine of me that you’re inevitably going to cry in front of, I’m getting married tonight.”

        Little Darling, absolutely. The time for faux-niceties has passed. If he wanted to make sure she was okay, he should have done it while he still had the chance. If I were her, at this point, I couldn’t give a sh!t less.

      • FLORC says:

        IF i had an overlap with my 14 year relationship.
        IF it was high profile and the stuff of tabloids.
        IF my painful breakup was made worse by the judgement off strangers at a news stand while my ex’s relationship joyy was plastered on every other news stand.
        IF there were all these factors in play I might give just a heads up to my ex.
        Even if they didn’t need it I wouldn’t know that and know on some level they might not want to be blindsided by reporters asking for comments.

        Any of us likely wouldn’t give a heads up in that situation, but you can’t compare the 2. I would want at least a text or email. And I would give notice as a just so you know type of way.

    • Wren says:

      It’s been 4 years, not 4 months. I don’t think he owed her anything. Especially if they didn’t communicate in those four years. Their relationship, no matter how it ended, is long over. The tabloid was the rude one here calling her up to get the “jilted ex-lover” angle.

      I mean, it’s gotta sting for Heidi, but come on. Why in the world would he call her??

      • Astrid says:

        Never occurred to me either for Heidi or my ex. There weren’t children involved and the relationship was over years ago

      • carol says:

        I agree. I think that would be weird. I wouldn’t give my ex a heads up and wouldn’t expect him to give me one either

      • claire says:

        But these aren’t regular people. These are celebrities with a non-celebrity in their history. Personally, I think giving a heads-up to a non-celebrity that they are likely to get bombarded by the press is a nice thing to do.

        Anyway, he looks so much more ‘right’ with Heidi. The relationship with Jen looks fake and awkward.

      • lola says:

        There were some that thought Brad Pitt should have called Jennifer Aniston and told her he was getting married. Can you imagine that call, “Uh, Jen, just thought I’d call you after we haven’t talked in over 9 years to tell you I’m marrying the Mother of my 6 children.” That would have been so silly.

      • WillowS says:

        Yeah I don’t see the need for him to give her a heads-up, either. She knew that they were engaged-isn’t that a big heads-up? When people who are engaged get married it’s not a total shock.

        I feel for her though-break-ups are rough enough for people who aren’t in the public eye but it’s got to be especially hard when you have to deal with seeing pics of your ex and his girlfriend (now wife) all the time.

        Whatever the case, can we get rid of the word homewrecker? Ultimately the people who “home wreck” are the ones of cheat on their significant others. I’m not saying that those who hook up with people who are married or are in relationships are blameless but ultimately they aren’t the ones who wreck the relationship. Also, please no more references to Angelina/Brad/Jennifer-it’s long over and everyone involved seems to have moved on at this point.

    • Amy Tennant says:

      Right? Is that a thing now? I had no idea. I can’t imagine tracking down my previous partners and telling them I was getting married (my first boyfriend knew, because he was the best man! But he and I had only dated a couple of months in high school). I didn’t even have contact information for any of them at the time. Anyway, oops if I was supposed to tell them, but it’s not like they told me when they were getting married either.

      Maybe if you’re hoping the ex is going to show up at the church and rescue you Graduate-style.

      ETA: ok. now that I think of it, if we were celebs and it would be a very public news item that I was getting married, I do think it would have been thoughtful to pass along a hint, especially if you’re thinking the tabloids are going to call the ex for a reaction. But for “regular” people, I think it’s still weird, and even for famous people, it’s not Required.

      • Green Girl says:

        Yes to the above.

        I think it would have been nice for someone from his publicity team to contact her even minutes before the wedding started to give her a heads up. In this situation, that makes sense.

        But for average Joe and Jane? I don’t think you need to tell your ex unless you have kids together.

      • notasugarhere says:

        I think the rules are different when you’re famous. Or your ex-partner and his new partner are THIS level of famous.

        A quick call from one of his reps to her, to give her enough warning to get out of town if she wanted to. But he didn’t treat her well during the stepping out with Aniston, so why would he treat her better now?

      • missy says:

        THat means JA called Brad and Angie? I mean hey they were spouses for a long time… smh. NOT. After four yrs that ship has sailed.. And it seems as the right folks are together.. Brad and Saintly have 6 kids. JA has been engaged for 3 YEARS~!!!!! Obviously these are the meant to be couples. Goodluck to all of them.

      • lola says:

        I sincerely doubt she cared what he did. She was probably just happy she didn’t have to pay his bills anymore.

    • paranormalgirl says:

      I didn’t give my ex a heads up either.

    • Gea says:

      I didn’t give my ex heads up before I got engaged to my forever fiancé. Why? Becouse, we were separated at the time and we had mutual understanding of ending. It was hard on both us but we both payed atention not to hurt each after all. Just saying…

    • layla says:

      I once had a boyfriend give me the “heads up” that he was dating someone else shortly after he broke up with me (there were some pretty sketchy time lines going on in the whole mess).

      Even thou I was absolutely heart broken, all I could think was how g*d damn pompous of you!! (and let me heal and move on you arrogant a**!)

    • blue marie says:

      Right? They’re your ex, you don’t need to keep them up to date on what’s going on in your life..

    • Sandy says:

      I assume your marriage also wasn’t splashed all over People, Us, In Touch, the internet and every print outlet in the world. And dating for 14 years, living together — that’s like being married. He’s a douche and Jennifer certainly has lost her “nice girl” image.

      • notasguarhere says:

        Sandy there are those who continue to insist that it “doesn’t count” and “wasn’t cheating” since they weren’t married.

      • Lady D says:

        nota; I read sadly not Sandy at the beginning of your comment. I was going to agree with you.

      • Nikki says:

        Yes, but not only have Justin and Jennifer been together for years, they’ve also been engaged for YEARS; it was hardly a rushed, shocking event! On many levels, I just wouldn’t expect him to let her know. In terms of people’s outrage at the marriage versus dating versus living together, I’m almost 60 years old, and I DID make a distinction between married or just living together. People get super defensive and angry, but the difference is in a marriage, partners have made a public, legal commitment to try for a lifetime together. Living together, you haven’t. Marriages fail every day, but I would wonder why someone wouldn’t make that commitment in 14 years, and personally I’d never accept that. So I don’t agree that Heidi and Justin’s 14 years together “counted for more” or showed more commitment than a shorter marriage. Why in heavens name do young women even want a partner who won’t commit to you publicly and legally? Give it 3 years, and then if you want marriage and he or she doesn’t, dump his or her sorry ass and get a partner who is willing to put you first.

      • goofpuff says:

        what year are we? since when does a 2.5 year marriage trump a 14 year relationship? dumbass people get married for idiotic reasons. a ring on your finger does not real commitment make.

        maybe justin and Heidi weren’t interested in going the traditional route because they are hipster? marriage doesn’t seem to be justin’s style but definitely Jen’s public persona of the good girl. and she is more famous and keeps his name out there. to appease his cash cow he must get married.

        it’ll be more believable to me if Jen and Justin just lived together like Russell and Goldie – marriage doesn’t fit for anything other than publicity and appeasing Jen’s fan base.

    • Pandy says:

      I don’t see why he would give her a heads up. Several years have passed, they don’t have children together …. I wouldn’t want to hear from him about it.

      • Original T.C. says:

        Not to bring in the unholy triangle but Brad gave Jen a heads up before either the wedding or engagement because they are NOT regular people. They are the source of income for tabloid employees and any major thing with one of them, the press descends on the other members. Heidi doesn’t have the money or staff to deal with the media onslaughter. I’m sure she gives no F’s about the cheaters but he could have at still had his PA (if he wasn’t man enough) called and given her a heads up about the wedding right after it was done so she will screen her calls or hide out from cameras. It’s call decency. But no worries Karma has Heidi’s back.

      • Amelie says:

        Well said Original T.C! Let Aniston the cheating home wrecking ho have Heidi’s sloppy seconds. Aniston has to deal with having a cheater and she will forever worry and karma will get her. Heidi is far too good for Justin, let Homewrecker Whoriston have him.

      • lola says:

        No, I don’t think Brad gave Jennifer a call, there was no reason for it, not for the engagement, not for the wedding. So much time had passed since their divorce, I’m sure Brad knew Jennifer didn’t care any more about who he was getting engaged or married to than he would care about who she was marrying. The ONLY reason anyone should give their ex a call would be if there were children involved, and you’d hope the parties would have been communicating regularly about their children.

      • Nikki says:

        Goofpuff sounds really down on marriage, but just because some people go into it the wrong way doesn’t mean marriage isn’t a commitment. I’m not saying 14 years was not a big part of their lives, but he never married Heidi, but he did marry Jennifer. You are trying to say marriage isn’t necessary, which it’s not. But you are also saying it’s as important a commitment as marriage, and I disagree with that. A marriage involves vows of commitment that living together doesn’t. And I hope we can disagree without people insisting I don’t know it’s 2015.

    • Miran says:

      Pretty sure my ex husband doesn’t know I’m remarried with a kid either, unless a mutual friend told him. I don’t get why this is a problem?

    • OTHER RENEE says:

      I made sure to tell my ex husband personally that I was getting remarried. I think my daughter had already told him. But I am pretty sure he appreciated me telling him myself.

      How do we know for sure Justin didn’t call her? There is absolutely no way to confirm this.

    • LA Juice says:

      Why would you! Seems spiteful, even if you are cordial.

      • lola says:

        That’s what I think, almost like rubbing it in their face. No, no reason to ever call an ex, even if you are famous. And I would think the last voice Heidi Bevins would want to hear on the other end of the phone, would be her ex.

    • Brodie says:

      Exactly. An in this case, no actual marriage was ruined either.

      • Amelie says:

        That is rubbish. A 14 year defacto marriage with a partnership and a home was ruined. 14 years, fourteen years trumps a 2.5 year ‘marriage’ any way you put it. What Aniston did was far worse. At least Brad and Angelina waited until after he and Jennifer made the announcement they had formally split. Aniston didn’t wait, she just went and ruined a marriage.

      • lola says:

        To be totally honest, there was no “actual” marriage, as in living as man and wife, ruined when Jennifer was left. Only her A-List standing was hurt.

    • Keaton says:

      Same. I don’t see the big deal tbh.
      Also it’s not like Aniston and Theroux JUST started dating. They’ve been engaged forever right? She has no reason to really be shocked IMO.
      This feels alot like reaching to me.

    • Emily C. says:

      Seriously. I didn’t e-mail any of my exes that I’d be getting married. I think Justin treated Heidi terribly, but why on earth should he “warn” her he was getting married? It’s been years, and whether or not she’s moved on (bet she has), it’s not her business. I’d be insulted if an ex felt I was still so hung up on them that I had to be warned they were getting married.

      This site goes a bit too far on the Aniston bashing. Did Jennifer tell Donovan Tate?! What a b***!

      • lola says:

        She never bothered to tell Tate’s fiancée she was dating Tate, overlap is a habit with jen-jen.

    • Palar says:

      urgh, I would never give my ex husband a heads up I was getting married again.

    • AntiSocialButterfly says:

      Yes- the concern about a “heads-up” is odd given how their desire was to keep the media unaware until the deed was done.

      This whole triangle bs is soooo old. Jeebus, its expiration date was a month or two after it broke whenever the he11 that was ( I don’t even remember). It’s unfortunate that people were hurt and/or disrespected- maybe things for both couples could have been handled differently, but I think sometimes the pull to someone is so strong as to be inescapable.

    • MCraw says:

      I mean…. They weren’t married. He’s just an asshole ex boyfriend. I didn’t know a boyfriend has husband expectations.

      False equivalence to the Bermuda Triangle

  2. mimif says:

    Putting out fire with gasoline, Kaiser.

  3. Jayna says:

    They’ve been broken up for four years and not in each other’s lives at all. Why would he call her and give her a heads up? I totally disagree. An ex it appears they aren’t on the greatest terms calls you up out of the blue. I would get a sick feeling in my stomach if the only reason an ex-boyfriend/sometime live-in is calling is to tell me they are getting married to their true love, when he wouldn’t marry me after 14 years, and just wanted to give me a heads up because he’s so famous now and wants to warn me of their happy nuptials so I can hear it from him first. Yuck.

    Go away. That phone call would be way worse than just hearing it randomly.

    • Neonscream says:

      ^ this! Who the hell wants a call from an ex who dumped you four years after the fact?

    • gatinhaXoXO says:

      ITA and dont think’s she deserved/needed/wanted a “heads up” whatsoever.

      • Lucy2 says:

        Agreed. Plus he was engaged to Jen for several years, it’s not like the marriage was a big surprise.
        Expecting him to call an ex years after their breakup is silly.

      • @Lucy2
        That’s what I was thinking. It’s not like they JUST got engaged, and then got married like two seconds later. They’ve been engaged since 2012.

    • Pinky says:

      She wouldn’t have picked up anyway. Or probably blocked his number. But then, yeah, why pick up when an Unknown Caller from Radar reaches out?…

      • Green Girl says:

        When you freelance, you pick up the phone, even if it’s a number that’s unavailable or unfamiliar to you. There’s a chance someone is calling for a new job. You wouldn’t believe how many people hate leaving a voicemail, so you really do need to pick up!

      • Lucky Charm says:

        I truly HATE leaving voicemail messages! I’d rather just keep calling until they answer. If I do leave a message, it’s usually just “Hi, this is _______, please call me back at xxx-xxxx.

    • Alex says:

      The only reason I would think she would get a heads up is if they had kids and they were in the wedding or something
      But yea 4 years later and she deserves a phone call? I don’t care if the wedding wasn’t a secret they owe her nothing

  4. kri says:

    Awww.I picture the invitation having an embossed Emoting Eyebrow on it. too bad she missed out.

  5. Tracy says:

    Oh for God’s sake, Justin and Heidi had been broken up for YEARS. He didn’t owe her a heads up or anything else.

  6. CariBean says:

    I don’t know. I don’t think I’d want to hear from an ex after 4 years. You’re getting married? Good for you. No need to rub my face in it. Have a great life.

    • Tash says:

      +1. It would only piss me off.

    • BengalCat2000 says:

      Same here. I don’t keep up with my ex for a reason. I like to believe that he’s miserable and I was the best thing that ever happened to him. Why ruin that fantasy?

    • Jayna says:

      Exactly. Who would want that call? If I got a call like that, in Heidi’s shoes, I would love to say back, “And after four years you are calling me why? Because you are getting married to the woman you left me for? And I shoud care why? Do you want congrats or something? Oh, a heads up? Uh, okay. Excuse me, I was in the middle of sex with my hot French lover, not home pining over you four years later. But, hey, thanks for the heads up of your marriage to what’s her name, but really not necessary. I really need to get back to more important things now, like Luc.” Click.

  7. Maya says:

    Heidi is stunning and as I promised in another thread – I ain’t gonna comment anything negative about Jennifer.

    Better leave before my fan club members arrive.

    • Jen43 says:

      She is beautiful. No further comments from me, either.

    • Lauren says:

      I was going to say, she’s way prettier than Jen.

    • Tarsha says:

      Lol, yes, Heidi is a stunner. Absolutely gorgeous! Some of these pictures don’t do her justice, I’ve seen others.

    • Emma - The JP Lover says:

      I was going to mention something above about the whiff of hypocrisy here today in light of the fact that Brad Pitt was raked over the coals here for ‘not’ considering Jen’s feelings after daring to talk about how he felt about ‘his’ life while married to Jennifer Aniston in his 2011 “Parade” interview, which was 6-years after their divorce … but why bother.

      Having said that, I don’t know why anyone would expect Justin to give Heidi a courtesy heads up when he hooked up with Jen while he was still dating Heidi without any regard whatsoever about her feelings.

      @Kaiser … I call B.S. on the Heidi-Justin breakup timeline of March 2011 as well. Everybody knows that Justin and Heidi were out as a couple at the end of April 2011 at the “House of Blue Leaves” Broadway debut.

      Heidi truly is a beautiful woman. 🙂

      • Tarsha says:

        Agreed. Aniston is never called out for her lack of sensitivity chip. It’s one thing to have an affair with a partnered man as Justin was, but to introduce him as her new boyfriend while he was still living with Heidi and telling the paps that he and Jennifer were ‘just good friends’? And the Terry Richardson photoshoot, a few days after Heidi left the apartment she and Justin shared, rubbing it in Heidi’s face and flaunting it? Evil is what some would call that. And Heidi and Justin were not actually just dating, they were living together in a defacto relationship.

      • notasguarhere says:

        Committed relationship and defacto marriage is what you meant, right?

  8. sisco says:

    He didn’t get the chance as it was a surprise wedding for him too.

  9. Ohreallynow says:

    Why would you need to tell your ex that you are marrying? It’s been awhile so I don’t get it?

    • Emma - The JP Lover says:

      It is considered a courtesy to extend a ‘heads up’ phone call to an ex when you’re getting married or married again to someone else, especially when you were in a long-term relationship. 14-years is a long time to be with someone, married or not.

      • Emily C. says:

        If you have kids, sure, but then you’ve been talking to each other enough that they would know anyway. If you don’t have children together and haven’t been part of this person’s life for years? No way. I would find it strange and insulting. Actually I’d probably assume my ex was still pining after me if he felt the need to inform me of his new relationship status.

  10. celine says:

    They’re exes, he doesn’t need to give notice of anything.

  11. EEV says:

    Why should she have had a heads up? That just makes it even weirder, no? She knew they were together and engaged, and that presumably a wedding would happen at some point.

  12. SamiHami says:

    They broke up years ago. Why would he give her a heads up?

  13. LAK says:

    Meh!!

    Heidi is living her life as far as we know. Justin doesn’t owe her anything.

    I hope this wedding puts the triangle of doom to rest. Whatever happened is in the past, all participants are settled (with a ring on it) with others.

    The end

    (please triangle of doom fans whichever side you are on, stop it. Please let this be the end)

    • L says:

      Alas, I’ve already seen comments on other sites and tumblr about ‘when is she going to have a baby like Angelina?’ and ‘the couples will compete at award shows now’. The triangle makes money, the triangle will NEVER EVER END. Cut off one head, and 3 more grow in its place.

      Hail triangle. 😀

    • Aren says:

      I thought the same, but after reading yesterday’s comments on certain other gossips sites, people are not willing to let this go.
      Some posts were embarrassing: “Justin c0ck’s is bigger than Brads, Jen finally dumped Brad because he’s ugly now, she’s aging better than Angelina”.
      People are very, very crazy. I bet they’re going to compare their homes, cars, relationship, etc. because these two (Justin and Jennifer) are d-list without it.

    • WillowS says:

      Omg yes, please let it go!

  14. Tash says:

    This is becoming tiring. *yawn

  15. Lara K says:

    Yeah, if an ex called me specifically to tell me he’s getting married, I’d be totally weirded out. We are exes for a reason.

  16. Manjit says:

    Why would he tell her? I don’t understand?

  17. Meatball says:

    Was he supposed to? They have been together for 4ish years and were engaged. It either was going to happen or not. I think she has probably moved on by now, that she wouldn’t care.

  18. grabbyhands says:

    I would disagree. He dumped her four years ago-why does he have to give her a heads up that he is getting married?

    Why would she even care? If I got treated the way she did (and then had the tabloid evidence shoved in my face every time I passed a newsstand), I wouldn’t want to hear anything about his life. And really, if he HAD given her a heads up, it seems like it would have felt like a slap in the face, like-“Hey, remember when I dumped you like the world’s biggest jackass and the whole world was witness to it? Guess what, I’m getting married!!!”. My response would have been a resounding “F**k of f and die, srsly”.

  19. NewWester says:

    Unless you share custody of children, why tell an ex you are getting married? Both parties have moved on with their lives. Life is too short to dwell on the past. Plus if you are so concerned about your ex’s feelings regarding dating or re marrying, maybe you are not ready to start a new relationship?

  20. caty1313 says:

    One cannot be ‘stolen’ unless one is more than willing to be, so to always put the blame that way is beyond ridiculous and really just stupid and lopsided. And why on earth would you give an ex a heads up…doesn’t matter how they broke up, they are done, finito, kaput, nul and void etc. Unless one is on friendly terms and still speaks with an ex, that expectation is completely unrealistic and naive.

  21. vauvert says:

    I am with all the other commenters. WHY would anyone call an ex to let them know they are getting married? I divorced and then remarried a few years later. Once the divorce papers were signed we did not keep in touch, and I most certainly would not have cared to hear from him – and vice-versa is true too. It’s different when ether are children, obviously, because you still have to co-parent, but in this case??

  22. Anon says:

    After five years was a heads up needed? I sure don’t think so.

  23. Kate says:

    Surely no one gives an ex a ‘heads up’ about an impending wedding unless they’re still friends or they have kids together?

    I’d be really weirded out if my ex from 4 years ago randomly contacted me to tell me he was getting married.

    In any case, they’ve been engaged for a while so I’m not sure why she would be shocked by this information, it’s been a long time coming.

    • Liberty says:

      ….happened to a friend of mine. She is sweet and gracious, hard time saying no, & the ex and his family were able to pressure her into coming to his wedding as they were friends, right? (she was in their country for her company as it happened and he’d found out). In short, she ended up: having to decorate the chapel when the designer missed his flight and everyone else was arguing. She ended up having to keep the sobbing reluctant pregnant bride from fleeing (her father and the groom’s owned big companies together and bride said felt “trapped” into it, she just wanted to have fun and sail her boats around). She had to persuade the Oma matriarch not to skip the ceremony (Oma disliked her hat, and wanted candy, andno one would allow her any!). She had to spend the reception preventing drunk best man from punching the groom for being rude to his own date. She fled at 4 a.m. I got about 30 WTH!!! texts; she learned to say “NO.” For this reason, I don’t think Heidi should mind missing a call about this PR festival either.

      I’ll see myself out, thank you.

      • Olive says:

        holy s*t that sounds awful!
        Till 4 a.m.? Your friend is way too nice for her ex and his family.

    • Ennie says:

      OMG. How lame.

    • Tarsha says:

      Oh please! That moral gymnastics won’t work. This is 2015. Not the 1940s. If you think you can excuse Aniston’s actions (and its not the first time she has been involved with a taken man) then you are delusional. That truly is pathetic. It really is. Desperate, sad and pathetic. 14 years trumps 4.5 years (2 years separated according to both Brad and Jen, so really their ‘marriage’ was only 2.5 years) in ANYONE’S language. Brad and Aniston were barely married and barely even had a relationship. Justin and Heidi were together for 14 years. That is around 3 times longer than the legal ‘marriage’ of Brad and Aniston, and around SEVEN TIMES LONGER than Brad and Aniston were actually together as a married couple. So don’t even try that lame flailing desperate card. It will not work.

      • DTX says:

        OMG, dude. No need to get all mathmatical to vilify JA and raise up AJ. Fact of the matter is that THEY ARE ALL JERKS.

        Jen & Justin were both jerks to screw around behind his ex’s back while pretending to be just friends in her face. That’s awful on both of them but especially him because HE was the one in a committed relationship and most likely jumped ship just to up his fame. Jen did what a lot of bitter cheated on women do, used that as excuse to go after a “taken” man because, “hey someone did it to her!” which is lame and cowardly.

        But let’s not try to whitewash AJ, because she is a documented repeat offender in the world of cheating, both as a mistress (at least twice) and a cheater herself (her relationship with Jenny S, overlapped several of her relationships with others), but then claims she’d “never sleep with a married man” because of what happened to her mom, like we all don’t realize that she’s being quite technical by saying that (Billy Bob was engaged) or just straight up lying (She was already shacking up with Brad when he was technically still married). And Brad Pitt? Also a cheater who “fell in love” with a hotter, younger piece while still married to and living with his wife….and let’s not forget his pedo-relationship with Juliette Lewis when he was a grown ass man and she was a young teen.

        So yeah…they all are jerks who care only about themselves and no one owes anyone a call about weddings when they were publicly engaged prior to for a long period of time.

        Two selfish jerks divorce and go on to marry two other selfish jerks and they all live smugly ever after. THE END!

      • Tarsha says:

        Lets get the facts straight, and not tabloid bs. This is also my reply to your reply to be at 51.
        1. No woman who was ever cheated on, especially those who act the way Aniston did after Pitt, would ever inflict that same pain on another woman. Proof in itself, Aniston wasn’t cheated on.
        2. There is no history at all of Angelina cheating, in fact, that is baloney. Where is your evidence? There is not one iota of proof. In fact, on the contrary. Where are you getting this Jenny S, ‘overlapped’ with ‘several’ others? Tabloids? That is absolutely ridiculous and even I, who have heard so many tabloid lies, have never heard that one before.
        3. BBT and Dern were not even engaged, so I’m not sure where this engaged story came from, but in one tabloid, it grew legs and took off and no one checked it. It was confirmed by Dern herself, they were not even engaged. Also, Dern’s own publicist’s press release detailing Dern and BBT’s split, was a month before Dern ‘went away to make a movie’, showing her as a liar. She has since been outed as a stage 1 clinger who accuses every man of leaving her, as ‘cheating’ on her. Even though she got with Harper around this time, and got pregnant while at the same time his own wife was pregnant. ie consider the source.
        4. Brad is no cheater, it has been shown there was no affair, in fact, while Aniston herself wanted Brad to have a fling with Angelina and ‘get it out of his system’ and ‘come back to me’ as she stated in Vanity Fair, Brad was too honourable to do that, so he broke it off with Aniston completely, then a month later chased Angelina half-way around the world. Yet before Brad and Angelina got together, Aniston was already with Vince Vaughn (while technically still married) so who cheated? Aniston moved on, sooner than Brad did. A cheater is not someone who does the decent thing, admits to his wife he has feelings for another woman, and chooses to end his marriage, rather than cheat. Brad’s actions showed he had honor.
        5. Juliette Lewis I don’t know much about that situation, but a ‘pedo’ is legally classified as someone who is interested in pre-teen children. So unless Juliette was pre-teen, then it was not a ‘pedo relationship’.
        Bottom line is so many people regurgitate tabloid lies, even though they were debunked years ago. If people don’t like a celebrity because of their acting or political stances or whatever, that’s fine. But you really should think twice before presenting tabloid lies as fact.

      • Emily C. says:

        “Fact of the matter is that THEY ARE ALL JERKS.”

        This should be engraved on the Hollywood sign.

      • KatyD says:

        @DTX. Preach!

        They’re all jerks indeed. It boggles the mind that Aniston fans think cheating is okay as long as there’s no ring. Talk about no morals. When you lie to someone you’ve spent many years living with, whether or not there’s a ring, it’s still lying. It’s obvious there was an overlap there. You can’t spend years yelling the Brad and Angie are cheaters while conveniently excusing that Aniston did the same thing with Justin. They’re all jerks.

  25. The Original G says:

    That’s a bit surprising. As much as Justin has been covered in the press, there have been mentions that he has kept in touch with her.

    It would have been a courtesy to tell her, when she encounters paps at her garbage can, asking for her reaction.

    • Ennie says:

      +1. He could have sent word with his agent or a family member.

      • Palapa says:

        He could have. But he’s not required to, nor should he be, especially if it’s a secret wedding. I wouldn’t want my ex to call me nor would I think it appropriate if my fiancé felt the need to do so after so many years.

      • The Original G says:

        Sigh. I guess it only matters when the paps invade Jen’s privacy?

        Heidi getting a blindside call from paps to comment on her former cheating live-in is her own problem.

      • Palapa says:

        Um no, G. You know I didn’t say that. But they’ve been split for 4 years now, for how long do you think he has to call her up & inform her of every life change that has nothing to do with her? It’s silly, and I’d be offended if I were her that people would assume I’d even want that. She’s not some pathetic spinster with no life. She’s quite beautiful & I’m certain has no shortage of men pursuing her.

  26. Bee says:

    Why would he do that? And why would she care? JA and JT have been engaged for ages. She knew it was coming.

  27. Bobafelty says:

    They were not married and have no kids together. He doesn’t owe her a phone call.

  28. Beatrice says:

    I had forgotten how pretty Heidi is–she looks so fresh and natural.

  29. bella says:

    he screwed her over after being in a very long-term relationship.
    why would he be considerate of her feelings now?
    that is if she even cares after being royaly dumped.
    besides, as other posters have said, they’ve been apart for 4 years.
    it’s not like he’s obligated to tell her anything.

  30. EmmyGrant says:

    The most he should’ve done is contact a mutual friend to give a heads up on the media frenzy. But she shouldn’t be answering calls from RO.

  31. Wren33 says:

    While I didn’t give any of my exes a heads up, I also didn’t date anyone for 14 years. I don’t think he had to, but because of the fact it would be in the news, I think the courteous thing would be to have a mutual friend break the news. Even with the secrecy thing maybe they could have done it the day of. I’ll have to ask Miss Manners….

  32. meme says:

    Why should he? I’m sure Jennifer didn’t call Brad and give him a “heads up”

    • chaine says:

      The only reason I could see that he should have given her a heads-up is to be considerate so that she’s not ambushed with the news by tabloids and paparazzi trying to get a good quote or shot.

    • Ennie says:

      Brad is very inaccesible, he is a big A-listed actor, he will get questions sent to his manager or something, while Heidi will have to deal directly with the paps. I bet Brad warned JA of his upcoming marriage.

  33. CooCooCatchoo says:

    That jacket is tragic.

  34. funcakes says:

    Slow news day for Radar.
    I would have never called her for two reasons:
    I would never want to hurt her by bringing up the past.
    2. I would never assume that I was important to her after so many years. That would be such an egotistical move.
    She’s probably moved on and already have a significant relationship. .

  35. Birdix says:

    This piece feels like my kid getting called out for something and immediately responding with “well, she’s done it too” pointing at her sister. Except they are under 10. Jolie has done enough good work to change her image, and doesn’t need to be compared to Aniston, who has made her own mistakes that have nothing to do with Jolie. Time outs are now over for everyone, time to move on!

  36. MrsBPitt says:

    Do you think Jennifer called Brad to give him a heads up? In my mind, it probably went something like this…Brad: Hello
    JA: Hi, Brad, it’s Jen!
    Brad: Who?
    JA: Jen, your ex-wife!!!!
    Brad: Oh, right, what’s up?
    JA: I just wanted to give you a heads up, that I am getting married tomorrow.
    Brad: On a Wednesday?
    JA: Yes, and it has nothing to do with the fact that, that is when the trailer for you
    and Angelina’s movie is coming out. A lot of people get married on
    Wenesdays!
    Brad: Whatever….well, good luck to you and Justin Beiber!
    JA: His name is Justin Theroux!
    Brad: Oh right! So does this mean, you won’t be playing the victim in all your
    interviews, anymore.
    JA: Well, I can’t stop that…that is my career, you know!
    Brad: Thanks for letting me know and be sure to tell Justin Timberlake Congrats!
    JA: AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

  37. Penelope says:

    Wow, Heidi is beautiful. And fourteen years, holy crap that’s a long time, especially for someone as young as she looks. No wonder she was blindsided. Wonder why they never married.

  38. lisa2 says:

    OH my she is soooo pretty… just naturally beautiful.
    She looks a bit like Naomi Watts in that last shot.

    I would bet she doesn’t give a fig about his wedding.

  39. Olive says:

    i hope paparazzi and Co. leave her alone

  40. sassy says:

    Maybe now Heidi will throw out a revenge interview – the Real story of the timeline and what went down……or she’ll stay classy and never give the happy couple another thought.

  41. M.A.F. says:

    Why would any ex need a heads up? Unless you have a kid together, I don’t see the need.

  42. Deb says:

    Silly conversation. I wouldn’t care or expect my ex husband to tell me if he remarried…maybe he has married the woman he lives with, who knows? Nor would I feel the necessity to let him know if I remarried. And we have two (now adult, but when he first got together with her, much younger) children together. Meh.

  43. Ally.M says:

    If Heidi took hush money I have no sympathy for her, that’s if all the speculation is true of course.

  44. shannon says:

    I’m sure this has been mentioned, but they were ENGAGED. Engaged suggests that a wedding will be happening in the future, so, if you ask me, she definitely had a heads up!

  45. Jayna says:

    Did Brad call Jennifer to tell her his wedding day was happening to give her a heads up?

  46. Cinderella says:

    Head’s up that her boyfriend was spending time in his co-worker’s trailer, yes. Head’s up that he’s marrying said woman years later… nah.

  47. Crystal says:

    There’s no story here! Why WOULD he call his ex from years ago to give her a heads up? That’s ridiculous!

  48. Claire says:

    I got married last year and I didn’t call my ex(s) . I wouldn’t care either if they got married too.

  49. noway says:

    Did they also call Brad? Did Brad call her when he got married? Wow imagine all the phone calls that would have to be made if you were married a ton of times like Elizabeth Taylor or Mickey Rooney in their hey days, or if we are talking significant others what about Clooney or Warren Beatty. It would take them weeks to get all the phone calls done. This is kind of stupid, four years later I don’t want a heads up from my ex. I would be get over yourself.

    Also, I bet she wasn’t that shocked. They have been engaged forever. She probably was like WTF are you calling me about this now. That was where the shock is from. She probably was too polite to be that rude, but I wouldn’t blame her if she did.

  50. Herrr says:

    Giving her a heads up is truly unnecessary. Radaronline should have left Heidi alone. Their wedding/marriage has nothing to do with her

  51. Salamander says:

    Why should he? It was seven years ago. They met when they were young, had a long relationship and things changed. This is standard now. Few relationships formed when both parties were young last because the people evolve and grow up and, often, away from each other. Slooow news day.

    • Tarsha says:

      Salamander it was only 4 years ago, and they had been a couple for 14 years, young or old is irrelevant. It sounds like you are trying to excuse the cheating. Cheating is cheating is cheating. And historically until recently, many people got married young, like 19, at stayed married for life. Studies also suggest that those who marry later in life have less successful marriages than those who married when you and grew through challenges, life, family etc grew old together and have a closer bond. And regardless of all that, they were a couple for almost a decade and a half. That is a long time, and a lot of history, including shared assets such as apartment. Which makes it worse. The long length makes it all so much more worse. So don’t try to excuse what Theroux and Aniston did to Heidi.

        Do you apply that “cheating is cheating” rule to AJ and BP too? Because AJ did it more than once herself. I bet you don’t.

        “Studies also suggest that those who marry later in life have less successful marriages than those who married when you and grew through challenges, life, family etc grew old together”

        You have it completely backwards. Studies have shown that when people marry before age 25, they are FAR more likely to divorce than if they marry after.

        Further, most women didn’t marry until they were around 25 and most men didn’t marry until they were around 30. (If they married at all; marriage rates skyrocketed in the 20th century, particularly in the 1950s.) Only the rich could afford to marry earlier, and their marriages were based on economic and political alliances more than any kind of affection.

        Cheating is cheating, but it’s been years now. Heidi Bivens is a successful businesswoman with her own life and I don’t think she needs a pity party, nor do I think she’d appreciate it.

  52. Aren says:

    There was no reason for that, if he had called her we would all be saying he’s a rat for rubbing it on her face.
    What a gorgeous woman btw, she should’ve become an actress, she has an “it” factor.

  53. NeoCleo says:

    They haven’t been together for over 4 years. Why would he need to give his old girlfriend a heads up? Not getting it.

  54. MAC says:

    I am actually not interested in any of the Jen or Angie posts. I think that what he did to Heidi was wrong. I do not know what Jen did if they did meet but I do not think it should be implied that she took a pay off.

    As for Radar that seems a bit low to call an ex. Frankly when my cheater ex boyfriend got married I never knew when I found out 10 years later I laughed my ass off. Than I stopped and hoped he changed because they had a child.

  56. Mixtape says:

    Pretty sure their extremely public three-year engagement was enough of a heads-up.

  57. JRenee says:

    Brad is with Angelina.
    Jennifer is with Justin.
    All other parties should not be included in plans to move on & along. Sometimes life changes hurt, but no one should be giving a heads up to an ex after years of being apart…
    Don’t keep the triangle going snd don’t make it into 7 parts (whatever that is,lol).

  58. claire says:

    Um, y’all aren’t celebrities? Why are all the commenters here relaying their own personal etiquette about ex-es? I don’t think the press are splashing your image all over and calling your house for comments. Your personal etiquette is totally irrelevant. This is about a celebrity giving a non-celebrity a heads-up that they’re going to be bombarded.

    • The Original G says:

      +1

    • DTX says:

      They ended FOUR YEARS AGO. He has been publicly ENGAGED for over 2 years plus. He doesn’t control who the nosey media people are going to call for a reaction about any of this movements. I’m sure they attempted to contact her when he moved in with her, anytime he said anything significant about his love life and when he got engaged, too. She’s a big girl who knows how to hang up the phone when some jerk calls her to talk about her douchey-ex who she probably shouldn’t have wasted 14 years on hoping to get married. She was too good for him and should behave as such by not allowing this into her life anymore, FOUR YEARS LATER.

  59. When I got married, my ex was the farthest thing from my mind. But maybe Jenns dog told Heidi’s dog.

  60. Merritt says:

    So? The only reason to let an ex know that you are getting married, is if you had kids with the ex. Justin did not have kids with Heidi.

  61. The Original Mia says:

    Heidi probably doesn’t care. It’s been 4 years and he did her dirty. She’s probably sipping champagne and celebrating the fact she doesn’t have to worry about his jorts anymore.

  62. Brandi says:

    My husband was engaged to someone else before he married me. She is now also married. There were no heads up given either way. No kids involved so no reason to.

  63. Hannah says:

    Wtf? I’d be offended if an ex gave me a heads up!

  64. Jess says:

    I got lost in the rabbit hole of archives, had no idea Jen possibly had a sit down with Heidi because she felt guilty. There’s a few scenarios that could’ve happened….Jen and Justin had an affair, Justin lied to Jen about being in a relationship, or Justin and Heidi were broken up but she hadn’t moved out yet and Jen and Justin did nothing wrong. Maybe I just believe the “poor Jen” stuff, but I think she’s genuinely a nice person and was truly shocked by the Brad and Angie affair, so maybe she did feel guilty and wanted to clear the air with Heidi, who knows, but she couldn’t have stolen Justin unless he wanted to leave, perhaps there’s a reason they were together for 14 years and never married? Anyhow, Justin had no reason to give Heidi a heads up, I’ve never heard of anyone doing that.

    • Tarsha says:

      There was no Brad and Angie affair, and if she were genuinely nice, why wage a vendetta against Angelina for 10 years and make continual passive-aggressive remarks? Look at her interviews, she is anything but nice, it is all phony image, Also Justin and Heidi were definitely together, and not broken up. Justin even tried to deny the Jennifer thing by saying they were ‘only friends’ and the week after that, Justin and Heidi were posing intimately out on a date. Heidi and her mother also confirmed they were still together, and that Heidi was devastated and blindsided when it was announced. Sorry but you seem to be looking to give Aniston free passes. Theroux and Bivens were well-known in Hollywood, Bivens a set designer, so Aniston knew who she was. And what is this’perhaps there’s a reason they were together for 14 years and never married?’ I just can’t…. do you think that excuses anything? Maybe they were both secure and felt no need for marriage. This is not the 1940s. Many people live together 14+ years, and raise children, and don’t marry. Do you think they are less deserving of loyalty? Do you think ‘there’s a reason’ Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn aren’t married, other than they simply see no reason for it? It is frustrating that people do moral gymnastics to excuse Aniston’s actions. Aniston and Theroux had an affair and poor Heidi was shocked and blindsided. Why don’t you have sympathy for her?

    • Jayna says:

      Something happened between them onset. Then the movie was over. Jen went after Justin after the movie wrapped. Not that he wasn’t interested and it was going to happen. But she lived in a different state. But the woman had just finished renovating her dream home, bragging about in Architectural Digest, etc., and ups and puts it on the market and moves to NYC, a place sun worshipper Jen had never talked about wanting to move to since she had just raved about her dream home she spent two years renovating. She said she was restless and wanted a change. I thought it was bizarre. It made sense down the road after finding out Justin was a New Yorker. She was now in close proximity to keep the budding relationship/flirtation building and becoming the cool NYC type girl he liked. They are seen out together. May he kicks h is girlfriend out and rather quickly they have his buddy, Terry Richardson, take a cozy photo of them for release to the papers announcing them as a couple.

      There is no getting around what happened here. She wanted Justin. He wanted her. She got him. Then after playing NYC chick for a while, she didn’t have to fake it since she now had Justin. She was a southern California girl through and though now and she dragged him back to Cali, and he willingly went with his new fake tan and Hollywood lifestyle he was enjoying.

      The end.

  65. siri says:

    Why would he have to tell her anything? It’s ridiculous. He can’t make up for what happened many years ago that way- so why?

  66. Miran says:

    You lost me here. Why should he have told her? They haven’t been together in over 4 years, I’m sure she’s moved on.

  67. lizzie says:

    no one knows who heidi bivens is – couldn’t pick her out of a lineup. i’m sure there wasn’t a media onslaught on his ex from three years ago. sure – they were together for 14 years and he mostly likely cheated on her – but that was over 3 years ago. i’m sure she’s over it plus – its none of her business anymore. if an ex from 3 years ago gave me a head’s up that they were getting married – i wonder why they were telling me at all! also – jennifer aniston is wrong to help a man cheat on his girlfriend – that is low – but lets not forget he’s the cheater.

  68. LadyL says:

    They broke up years ago. I think she’s moved on. Give the woman some credit. I don’t think she was about to slit her wrists when he left. She’s more than who she sleeps with.

  69. Pamela says:

    Justin didn’t give her a head’s up because HE didn’t know he was getting married. It was supposed to be a birthday party and she surprised him with a wedding. By the time he knew, the wedding march was already playing. And then he didn’t have a chance to call her after because Jenn called the paps, who called Heidi before he had a moment to do so.

    HA! That is it, right?

  70. frances egan says:

    just noticing how much hotter justin got as he aged . he looks sexier than brad pitt

    • Amelie says:

      Nope, Heidi had him when he was hot. Now he looks like a greasy orange oompa loompa troll. Aniston has Heidi’s sloppy seconds. Even when Justin was ok looking and not repulsive now, he still doesn’t even come up to Brad’s ankles as far as sexiness and hotness. Brad’s reign is not threatened by someone who looks like that, that’s for sure lol

    • Carmen says:

      If you like them tangerine-colored wearing a ton of black mascara, I suppose he could have a certain charm, but he just doesn’t do it for me.

      • Aubrey says:

        It is his uniform. Probably from the days when he was just starting out and I can dig it. Because he always wears black he looks like the male Angelina.

  71. iheartgossip says:

    He should have gave her a heads up when he was cheating on her. Married? Meh.

  72. KelT says:

    Who cares? It’s been long enough for her to have moved on.

    I was so relieved when I saw in the headlines that it was about their marriage, and not a breakup like so many celebrities recently. So happy for them.

  73. Godhateswolverine says:

    OU BOY I SEE MY BABY HEATH LEDGER IN THAT CASANOVA MOVIE POSTER!

    That’s all I felt the need to say.
    I made myself sad. <3

  74. I don’t know if their is etiquette on this but I haven’t had a chance to dust off my Emily Post. Perhaps it’s impolite to speculate how long this wedded bliss will last?

  75. loca says:

    This is stupid who would give their ex a heads up. Justin didn’t have any kids with her and was never married to Heidi. Show the photos of the hookups if this.

  76. YeahYeahYeah says:

    So. It’s none of her business.

  77. Mimi says:

    A real man would have given his ex the NY apartment or paid her something instead of allowing Jen to handle his business. Maybe Jen didn’t trust him to go meet Heidi – why should she? – when Jen knows his duplicitous character. Then again, a real man wouldn’t waste a woman’s time for 14 years and lie like a dog. This guy went on vacation with Heidi that December and the pics were online. Supposedly, he told Heidi that Jen and he were only friends, doing movie promotion with a media friendly relationship. Plus, he was helping her direct her short movie. Mom spilled those details. Slimy dude! He has problems with honesty. I wonder what the prenup looks like because Jen should throw him out of Bel Air place in a month some day just like he did to his long-time relationship.

    • kanyekardashian says:

      Don’t you feel a little silly saying these stupid things? You’ve never met any of these people and you’re acting like you were a fly on the wall for their entire relationships. You sound ridiculous and judgmental of people you don’t even know.

  78. Brittany says:

    When I got married the last thing I thought of was my ex. And I’m sure my ex would have been completely weirded out if I gave her a call to inform her of my marriage (which was a sudden marriage when Missouri-home home state-legalized gay marriage). Can we put this whole triangle BS to rest already? Justin and Heidi broke up 4 years ago. Brad and Jennifer divorced ages ago. Brad and Angelina seem happy. Jennifer and Justin seem happy. This comments are tiring even more me!

  79. kanyekardashian says:

    Even Courtney Cox said that Jennifer and Justin had been friends for many years before Wanderlust. No woman or man can “steal” anyone from their spouse or lover. That’s stupid. If someone has the capacity to be “stolen” they were never yours to begin with and you’re better off without that person. Period.

  80. Marianne says:

    Why does he have to? If she’s no longer a part of his life, then why keep her updated…

  81. Vampi says:

    Wow. I’ve never seen Heidi Bivens until now. She is absolutely stunning. Just gorgeous!!

  82. SlimJim says:

    The reason JT should have given Heidi B the heads up is so that she could avoid the concern trolling/baiting tactics of sleazy pap machines like TMZ/Radar online. This woman has always taken the high road; you don’t see her ever going to media with what she experienced, like seeing her man who just jilted her in the worst way being elevated to the rarified breathing space of the super wealthy (and after she supported that guy for years, thank you very much), and loved up with Jen in every rag following the bust up, including the coverage of the Hawaiian vacation SHE was supposed to be taking that summer with JT, and for years afterward.

    Automatically Radar goes to her for a statement, even though it’s been four or so years, like pouring lemon juice on a wound: ‘Hey, don’t you want to congratulate the couple who ruined your life on their continued success-and-smugness tour?’

    Wow.

    Anyway, kudos to Heidi Bivens for trying to get on with her life on the down low. It can’t be easy. I wish her all the happiness, and she is well and good to be rid of that orange soda colored skin tannin’, emotin’ eyebrows gaming, jorts wearin’, Uncle Terry hangin’, punk wannabe playa.

    They are ex’s for a reason…WHY would he tell her anything?
