Jennifer Aniston admits that being in a romantic relationship has “always been a challenge” for her. In an interview with the WSJ. magazine, she spoke about the influence her parents had on her love life.
Jennifer Aniston thinks she’s not “very good” for the couple’s relationship.
And his parents are no stranger to his incompetence! In an interview with the monthly WSJ. magazine confided the 54-year-old actress to the influence of her parents’ relationship on her personal life.
The star is the daughter of actress Nancy Dow and comedian John Aniston, who married in 1965 and divorced in 1980 when their daughter was nine. The family model did not excite them!
“I think it was always difficult for me to have relationships because I was a little lonely,” the Friends graduate said of her upbringing. “When my parents observed my family’s relationship, they didn’t let me say, ‘Oh, I can’t wait to do this,'” she noted.
“I didn’t like the idea of sacrificing who you were or what you needed, so I didn’t really know how to do that.” So it was almost easier to be a loner. So I had no real training in this type of exchange,” she said.
The ‘Just Go With It’ star revealed she’s currently putting her own wants and needs first. “It’s about not being afraid to say what you need and what you want. “And that’s always a challenge for me in a relationship,” she admitted. In all other areas I’m very good and that’s the area that gives me the most trouble…”
Jennifer Aniston was married to Brad Pitt from 2000 to 2005. She then married Justin Theroux in 2015, but the two divorced three years later in 2018. The actress has also had relationships with John Mayer and Vince Vaughn.
