I feel like we’ve already discussed this “possibility” a million times before, but to be fair, we haven’t talked about it in months. Probably because it was touch-and-go there for a while as it looked like Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux were about to break off their engagement. But now they’re back together in NYC (or at least they were last week) so the engagement is still on and maybe they’re even getting down to wedding plans. And maybe Jennifer finally realized that Justin is not the kind of guy who wants to do some big, fussy wedding. He’s so hardcore, so hipster, so quirky. Perhaps they’ll just quietly elope?
It’s been nearly two years since Justin Theroux popped the question to Jennifer Aniston. So far there has been news that the 45-year-old LA-bred actress and her 42-year-old New York native fiancé would not only have a massive wedding, but also that the affair was called off completely.
Now UsWeekly has claimed the lovebirds – who met in 2011 on the set of Wanderlust – may want to tie the knot without all the fanfare. ‘Jen and Justin might be eloping!’ the publication reported on Wednesday.
The weekly added that the Friends star is looking to move fast. ‘She would love for the big day to be this spring,’ added the insider.
With spring officially ending on June 20, the blonde – who was spotted ‘being very affectionate’ with her fiancé in New York City on March 8 – doesn’t have a lot of time to get her planning in order, though elopement pretty much means just a trip to the court house. Jennifer has been married only once before, to Brad Pitt; this will be Justin’s first time getting hitched.
‘She already have the big fairytale wedding,’ a longtime Aniston friend told UsWeekly of her $1m Malibu nuptials to the Troy star in 2000. Now she’s ready for something ‘not too stuffy, something casual’ with her closest friends.
A destination wedding is a possibility. ‘Jen would fly people out, someplace warm. Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, is a possibility. She loves it there.’
With Justin filming The Leftovers for HBO in New York City, and the We’re The Millers star living in their $22m home in LA’s Bel Air, they still will be leading separate lives for a while, though they did squeeze in some time together on March 14 on the West Coast. But even if they do have distance between them, the couple is ‘solid,’ said the pal. ‘They’re busy but happy,’ added the insider.
The original source seems to be Us Weekly, and they get a lot of exclusives from Team Aniston. So does E! News, and E! had a similar story a few days ago too, with a source claiming that Aniston was doing a big diet/detox for her new film AND for her wedding. The source also said that Aniston “wants to have an island wedding” and that the wedding will happen “later this year… no sooner than late summer or early fall.” So… Us Weekly says a spring wedding, E! News says a late summer wedding. I have no idea. But if they do something low-key and/or elope, I will be stunned and very happy for them. I think Justin has major wedding jitters and I think Jennifer just wants to get this thing nailed down at this point.
The Enquirer also has a funny/stupid story about Jennifer reaching out to Katy Perry after Katy and John Mayer split. You might remember, Mayer and Aniston had an off-and-on thing for about a year and a half, circa 2008-09. Mayer once dumped Aniston and then held an impromptu press conference on the street. Good times. Anyway, a source tells the Enquirer that: “Jen says John should come with a ‘bad for your heart’ warning. John ripped her heart out when he dumped her. She really struggled getting over that, and she felt the need to reach out to Katy to give her a pat on the back and offer her a shoulder if she needed.” Allegedly, Aniston asked Chelsea Handler to reach out to Katy to offer Aniston’s condolences, because this is middle school and they’re all playing a big game of telephone. “Jennifer said to tell you ‘he sucks!’ like OMG.”

Something nice: In the header pic they look like a very cute couple.
“”Jennifer Aniston wants an ‘island wedding,’ they might elope in the spring or summer, and she might finally be pregnant!!”
There, fixed that headline for you, Kaiser.
;D
Lol! Nice.
Jen is now too old for bump watching so her new stay-in-the-tabloids strategy is wedding watching.
If Aniston and her power PR flack Stephen Huvane stay true to form, expect a final phoney press blitz ramp up to a ‘wedding,’ very close/simultaneously to Angelina’s Worldwide Maleficent premieres and release date.
Not that a wedding will occur, come on, lol…but ‘Huvaniston’ is like clockwork when it comes to religiously coattailing Brad or Angie’s big milestone events for maximum effect and association.
I had tagged Aniston & Theroux’s breakup for post-award season, as it pretty much was a given he’d reappear for the Oscar party schmooze weekend with her (no way were they going to let one of the stories be about Aniston being ‘dumped’ as Brad & Angelina hit the red carpets, and Brad won an Oscar) plus Theroux is still trying to make his middleaged late in the day mark – so I thought given the obvious lack of contact they’d hold on publicly until all that was over (do the party scene, take a few snaps pre/post Oscar, I was surprised at how few pics there were, if any, still Huvane got little items sans pics, in the press to make sure people knew they were still together, and that they hadn’t split) – but THEN…
I completely forgot about Maleficent (in May?)!! …again, Aniston can’t have sore loser/reject news circulating about her, while Angelina is everywhere, just ruling…as usual.
I call summer breakup. But like with Vaughn and Mayer before him it must be hard for such an unconventional hipster poseur type like Theroux, who viewed everyone from George Clooney to TV sitcoms as ‘sell outs,’ (eyeroll) to hypocritically immerse himself in such blatant obvious silly Aniston & Huvane type fame whring. Maybe that’s why much like others before him, he goes for loooong stretches not even being in Aniston’s vicinity.
But he also knows the benefits of being her much needed +1, I don’t think he’d have a CAA contract and be pop-locking on Ellen without it.
@blackjack – completely agree with you. I was actually thinking they would announce the break up around her birthday/Valentine’s Day, but I forgot all about awards season. IMO, they’re already done as a couple. I think they still have enough regard for each other to make appearances in public together, should the need arise.
In other news, Lindsay Lohan did something crack-related, Gwyneth has started a Pinterest slash blog for rich people, the Kartrashians cannot be stopped, haters allegedly keep on hating, and spring is here. *examines manicure, breathes onto nails, buffs on shirt*
This!!! This sh-t right here!!
My thoughts exactly. The preggers rumours to ensure, then the break up rumours… Also, it will rain sometime this year. Gravity will continue on planet earth. Lindsay will “turn a new leaf”, Goop will fat-shame, and Kim will post a selfie!!
*yawns, fixes hair, begins applying mascara with open mouth*
Ryan Seacrest, your future news anchors are here. It’s like we know the groundbreaking news before it happens: this just in! *insert mocktress name here* is releasing a parenting book* and Jennifer Aniston is pregnant for the 100th time! For real, y’all! *looks at Cheesecake*
LOL, you two, your comments are amazing 😀 I came here to say just that: haven’t we seen these news like a hundred times before?
LOL @ “haters allegedly keep on hating”!
Middle school indeed. She is SO middle school all the time.
Of course this engagement is being dragged out as much as possible, she needs her name in the press to feel validated.
Of course she will get married in Cabo, she only goes to places she’s 100% comfortable and familiar with.
Can you imagine having all the money in the world and yet never going anywhere new? I’m so bored with her.
No disrespect to people who enjoy Cabo, but there are so many other truly awesome places to visit in Mexico. Perhaps it’s the short flight she likes? Personally, I find Cabo totally depressing.
I would honestly say that she goes so that people can see her at Cabo. Why, I have no clue. I saw this INTERVIEW that she did in the 2010 era…it was just after she did that movie with Gerard Butler…complaining about the paparazzi. Her friends were holding up mirrors, to sun block the paps…which sure, fine. You want to go to the same place every year, where you know they’ll photograph you, fine. Your right. But don’t hold an interview, talking about how much you hate it–when there are easily other places you can go. If it really bothered you that much. And I mean honestly–who cares if the paparazzi are there? They’re on the water, not disrupting your day. It’s not like they’re so in her face, that she can’t go swimming or anything like that. They’re far away.

I’m sorry but even if they make it down the wedding aisle, there’s no way their marriage will last. If they do get married, it’ll last five years max.
I mean the very fact that Theroux never proposed to Bivens for 14 years and yet proposed to Aniston after 1 year seems to suggests he doesn’t care much for marriage. Also, let’s just say they’re both secure in their relationship and don’t mind being apart for 50 days….but if one of their friends had died (PSH) and there was also Valentine’s day and her birthday that they spent apart….what…?
I mean she wasn’t working and could have taken the simple 6 hour first class plane ride to see him but she chose not too….instead doing that BS feminism convention with Chelsea Handler and Steinem.
For a 2 year long relationship….the fact they are okay with not seeing each other for long periods of time is troubling. I could understand if they’d been together for like 5-10 years already but come on Jen….make a bigger effort when your relationship is still young.
I see this trip to NY as another PR move because of the reasons you mentioned. This is an image damage control trip to see Justin just like his quickie trip to LA around Oscar time and long time friend is her agent.
Image is everything if you are Jen.
Bingo. +1
Also, these interviews she’s giving for no reason? They’re for the same effect – though she doesn’t speak of wedding or engagement plans, she drops ‘my fiancé blah blah blah,’ and that’s enough for her old ‘Team Aniston’ enablers to breathe a sigh of relief, and for the celebrity press to back off the ‘breakup’ headlines that are probably accurate…she and her PR flack know this.
Her latest interview consisted of, what else, hair, skin, diet – and a ‘what do you love about Justin?’ question. It was odd that someone refers to an SO as a “fiancé,” in a mag/blog piece and doesn’t get asked the inevitable wedding/wedding dress/wedding plans questions, isn’t it? Particularly since her PR guy hijacked people mag last year at this time, and got a cover story all about her impending plans post Oscar weekend.
I bet those kinds of question were off limits for obvious reasons. LOL
Aniston mentions 2 or 3 words about Theroux – that he’s kind, and has “unconditional love.” I had to laugh – this is a theme with Aniston, one that proves she’s still not ‘over IT,’ because she’s said this EXACT thing about every guy that flies like a bat away from her, going all the way back to Brad. (He was kind and had unconditional love, Vaughn was so extremely “loyal” and we all know about John “He’ll never do that again” Mayer) It’s this passive aggressive b.s. – letting them (and the public know) I consider you too honorable to leave me, or too honorable to diss me by words or actions, when you do inevitably leave me. It’s a way for her to say, ‘you better be loyal to me,’ whatever that means to her.
She gets proven wrong again and again.
This is probably just wishful thinking but I bet she’s waiting for The Brange to make the first wedding move so she knows how to counteract. Both sides are so orchestrated that it seems like they’re at a wedding stalemate.
Or I’m just an old crotchety cynical brat.
Agree with you about Jennifer Aniston but not the JPs. They don’t have to compete with Jennifer Aniston as they are two of the most important and influential people of the planet. They have hardly said anything about their wedding planes but it seems that every month somebody associated with Aniston is running to a tabloid to talk about this supposed wedding.
Why the hell don’t these two just get married. No magazines, official announcements, just go ahead and do it.
All together now! Let’s all take up a collection to ensure the marriage actually takes place and, if there is a God, we will never have to hear of her wedding plans again. As she said on People magazine last year after stealing the cover from the Oscar winners, she had the dress, she had the place, and she had the time. So why didn’t they do it?
Someone should take several seats. You really think Angelina has been orchestrating against Jennifer Aniston and Theroux’s non-wedding plans, in between raising 6 kids, having double mastectomys, directing her 2nd feature film and flying into world hotspots as a UN Special Envoy?
Or are you saying it’s Brad that wants to beat Jen to the altar?
If this is of such vital importance to Brangelina, why wouldn’t they have completely waxed Aniston and held a big wedding at any point in the last decade?
How about some common sense? Brad and Angelina have often stated they don’t need the paper, they are in it for the long-term regardless – but that they would do so, if their kids wanted it and/or it became legal for everyone. That means, at any point they could have have had a wedding. But Brad and Angelina got engaged in 2011, and soon afterwards after having been unceremoniously dumped in 2009 by John Mayer on a world stage, (surprise) Aniston gets engaged to someone. Common sense tells you, just by timeframe alone, that the only one playing follow the leader (as usual) is Aniston.
Good imagination you have blackjack.
Seriously, if I was JA, I wouldn’t get married…I would do the Goldie Hawn/Kurt Russell thing…they both have their own money and career, and I’m pretty sure there won’t be any kids.. and with JA loving LA and JT being a NY guy…I don’t see it working for the long haul…
THIS.
been with the bf 20+ years and never saw the need for a piece of paper to tell us that we’re committed to each other. if you WANT to stay together, you will, regardless of whether or not you have a legal contract to do so.
I’m NOT anti-marriage – if that’s what you want to do, go for it, but I, personally, never saw the need. (kids, of course, change that, I understand…)
YES. In total agreement MrsBPitt. Unless JA wants the big wedding pics? I don’t see children happening between these two, so why marry? Just enjoy the relationship as long as it works.
I agree with you.
and the sky is blue…and water is wet and I’m so sick of all this hoopla about Jen’s imaginary wedding.
If it’s true, I’m glad for them. Having said that. I’m over this “are they, aren’t they?” game!!
Are they gonna get married, are they preggers, are they splitting up?? These three questions pop up at least 30 times per year!!! Also… Jen loves giving wronged women pats on their backs (including Theroux’s ex girlfriend… allegedly)!! Is she still flying that flag for women who have had their hearts broken in Hollywood??
Who announces an elopement?
I scratched my head at that also. Aren’t you suppose to elope first and tell everybody about if afterwards.
Technically, I think Justin needs to go over to Jenn’s house with a ladder for it to be considered an actual elopement.
These tabloids seem confused about the very definition of ‘elopement.’ Eloping means you and your intended just go off and do it. Yet in the tabloid piece they’re clearly describing a destination wedding. lol
Unfortunately a lot of people have a really hard time understanding that an elopement is not an elopement if everyone knows about it.
The number of times I have read posts on a wedding site saying something like “So, I told my parents, family, and friends that my fiancé and I are going to elope…” is absurd.
I always thought of an elopement as just you and your SO getting married, no one else but the required witnesses. Like I never thought of it as something to keep a secret, but that something that you went and did by yourselves. So if I ever did that (which, my mom would KILL me if I did), I’d tell my parents that I wanted to have a me and him wedding….
“John ripped her heart out when he dumped her. She really struggled getting over that.”—–> finally. A story of her heartbreak without mentioning a certain someone. At least they’re using John’s name now. 🙂
Yeeha!
They will probably do exactly what they did last time drop lots of hints about an imminent wedding, lots of off the record chatter from friends then postpone and pretend like it was fabricated B.S.
Or break up. I’m betting that they’ll be dunzo by the time his show premieres, if not before. I was right that they weren’t going to get married before my birthday last year. All this bs’ing about the wedding is what annoys me, not that they aren’t married.
Really? For the love of God, get married…break up… I couldn’t care less, just DO IT!
I think people can get married when THEY choose. It is not something you have to do to placate the public. It is a personal thing.
That being said there are many couples engaged for the same amount of time or longer. Thing is we don’t have to see a constant stories about them every week. Someone in her life is talking. I think the tabloids want her to get married so they can be done with her. I just can’t imagine who is buying these magazine covers. If her fans are then they are responsible for this. If you don’t buy the covers then they story does not sell.
I have seen comments from her fans stating how Jennifer is so popular and she sell magazines; because she is on these covers weekly. How the heck is that something to brag about.
I have always said that everyone writes the narrative of their lives. Fair or not. These are the stories written because there is nothing else to write. I think when or if they get married the next stories will be children or break up. That is it. Because that is all there is to write regarding Jennifer. But truth be told she played this part for many years’ and the public/press bought it and ran with it.
Ummm..,sure, kids…whatever you say!
There are going to be preggers rumors about Anostion when she’s freaking 60, mark my words. Sigh.
If they were going to elope to Cabo it would have already happened on one of the multiple trips she takes there a year. Eye roll.
I don’t believe they will EVER get married or she will EVER get pregnant. She has purely bad luck with men for some reason. If only she would stop focusing on herself and do more for others then maybe she’ll meet a very nice man who would actually marry her for her beautiful soul rather than her fame.
What if her soul isn’t beautiful?
I think she’s planting stories because late spring is when Maleficent comes out. This is her counter-move to the JP’s big year of publicity.
How wonderful would it have been if her countermove would’ve been to actually use that production company and produce a truly worthy film? I’m not talking about a drama or a great epic–she likes romcoms. Find a GOOD script and finance it. Jennifer is ROLLING in cash, like Donald Duck’s uncle (anyone remember the old cartoons?)….remember when she bought that house for like 5 million, redid it, and then got something like 40 million for it? That was less than THREE years ago.
If she wanted to, she could’ve used that money for something really amazing. Produced a film that she believed in. Produced a documentary, highlighting St. Jude’s work. Hell, directed it even. But it seems to me that she wants to take ZERO risks in her career. She only directed for Lifetime because she got PAID—probably a lot more than a normal director would’ve, for them, because of her celebrity.
But it’s sad that a woman over 40 has to play media games about her maybe, some day, gonna happen wedding…..you know, versus being in the news because of her work. It’s rather telling that she’s been having rumors about her and Justin breaking up, despite being engaged, while Brad and Angelina have had NO rumors about them breaking up—because they’re not playing PR games with their wedding.
Sure, non fans can ask/say ‘why aren’t they married yet? see Brad doesn’t want to marry her, etc’…..but they can’t say that Brad or Angelina have ever lead anything on with their wedding plans–they caused zero speculation themselves. You can’t say the same for Justin and Jennifer–that PEOPLE cover was just a terrible PR move. Especially when the wedding didn’t go down.
Also–I put up a few pictures of my pets on tumblr…so click on my name and check them out. The Orig. Kitten, if you read this–my cat is the same as one of yours–Zizou??? I think the name was…..what kind of cat do you have?
Jennifer Aniston can’t do any of that, because in my opinion, she doesn’t have the skill set.
I’m really tired of people, even suggesting, that Jennifer should do X, Y or Z instead of her usual rom com schtick that gets panned. Jen should do more movies like blah blah…or why can’t Jen produce her own good films…yada yada. It’s like this chorus of ‘If only Jen would do THIS, she’d most certainly yield this result.’ The sad fact is she would not, because she can’t.
Not everybody deserves an ongoing 20 year chance in film to prove themselves. I would think that after year 5, some people would say – okay enough already…I’ll stop hiring Jen for the aging stripper parts and get Julie Bowen or Mary McCormack, save myself some money. She gets work because of her personal life, and the need some people stuck in the past, to ‘see her do well,’ it’s a contest still for loads of people. Look at the comments here from people who bizarrely suggest, ‘both sides,’ are playing an elaborate chess game. I know what it nets Aniston, so I have no doubt that she’s playing, but it nets Brangelina nothing. Their association with her helps them not one bit.
Aniston’s had more success of late, playing the bawdy aging nympho/stripper supporting roles in the sophomoric male driven comedies of big male comic actors, but in many ways that’s even worse – why ride shot-gun in someone else’s vehicle when you have the resources to make your own bad movies? It shows how insecure and not confident she is, in her own abilities. Her career tract and decision making is the polar opposite of a strong woman. She’s always come across as weak, somewhat neurotic, shallow and phony, all ‘image,’ and not much else – I think that’s why her acting is so bad.
She was actually impressive in “The Good Girl” and I expected she’d do better films, but that was it, she went back to insipid ones. I don’t get it.
She could do an old-fashioned love story with humor that’s more refined than a romcom, but she doesn’t. With a Bradley Cooper type.
in addition to not having the skill set, she’s prob pretty lazy. (maybe i’d be too if i had that kind of cash.)
I mean, if she just wants to make cute, fun, feel good films (like Drew Barrymore), then that’s fine. Have at it. As a woman, I would make it a point to go and see female driven films. But she doesn’t. She made it a point, years ago, when she got divorced to option projects (as her portion of Plan B). She made it a point (I think in Vogue, when she was promoting Marley and Me), to say that she was starting her production company (and had her producing partner be featured in the interview) to make films that empower women.
She’s just lazy and doesn’t want to take any risks. Talent doesn’t multiply by osmosis while you’re not using it–you have to constantly use it. I wish she’d have done what she said she was going to do.
I think everyone would be surprised if she didn’t wear a white slip dress and get married on a beach this time. Pretty obvious. Would be nice to be surprised, but why shouldn’t she do what makes her happy?
If I was Jen, I don’t think I would get married again. She has a great life & seems happy.
I always have to laugh at the “we don’t need a piece of paper to be together” commenters.
What’s a will? A piece of paper. If you don’t have it you have no standing to inherit anything from him; his weird cousin Larry will be the heir.
What’s a birth certificate? What’s a passport? What’s a living will to determine what happens if one of you is ill? So naive.
You do know there is a massive difference between a will and a marriage certificate, right? You do not need to be married to be in a will. Perhaps you could tell Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell what you’ve just said, I think they’d laugh at you.
Obvious tabloid BS. The rags must not be selling. Seriously does anyone believe the triangle is still going on to this day?
Yes, according to you and Cecilia.
Justin’s in NY filming The Leftovers, while Jennifer’s filming Horrible Bosses 2….I wonder if she’ll be in NY after filming (she has a cameo–like three scenes–which still don’t make any sense to me)/sarcasm.
We’ll see.
Justin looks so much better (and hotter) without those ridiculous skinny jeans and big boots, with his tshirt and jacket as tight as they can possibly be.
