Whenever Jennifer Aniston’s name and the word “relationship” appear in the same sentence, it’s hard not to think of Brad Pitt. Despite their past together, it seems like she’s been going through relationship after relationship without much luck. Even though she’s met other people, it still seems tough for her to find something more stable.
For some, this might make people wonder, while others might just think she’s unlucky in love. The truth is, with all the buzz around her relationships, the actress has grown tired of trying to invest in them. But as she’s said herself: never say never.
Jennifer Aniston Seems To Be Having Trouble Meeting Someone
Being a Hollywood star often means dealing with all kinds of rumors, especially about love life. Since the start of her career, Jennifer Aniston has been at the center of these rumors, and they only intensified after her divorce from Brad Pitt.
A lot of this is also because she’s in her fifties, which makes people curious about her single life. But the truth is, this very attention seems to have put a damper on Aniston’s search for love. Her name is always connected to the people she’s seen casually hanging out with, and before long, there’s buzz about her possibly dating someone new.
In an interview with Red, the actress shared some insights into what her life is like when it comes to relationships:
I’m not a big fan of dating. I have dinner with male friends and it’s instantly, that’s the new man. The phone is ringing off the hook from your publicist saying, ‘Did you have dinner with so and so?’ and it’s yes, I did and no, I’m not. So you sort of just meet people.
But another significant reason relates to how she grew up and observed her parents’ relationship. While she didn’t go into many details, the actress mentioned in an interview with The Wall Street Journal that what she experienced in their relationship didn’t exactly inspire her to want the same for herself:
It was always a little bit difficult for me in relationships, I think, because I really was kind of alone. I don’t know. My parents, watching my family’s relationship, didn’t make me kind of go: ‘Oh, I can’t wait to do that.’
According to her, she also struggled with knowing how to share her life with someone and what she might have to give up for that — she felt she “didn’t have any real training in that give-and-take.”
Jennifer Aniston Talks About Challenges In Love
In addition to Pitt, Aniston was also married to Justin Theroux. Their divorce was rumored to have happened because they wanted to live in different cities, but he had to deny those claims.
In an interview with Allure, the actress mentioned that, for now, she doesn’t see herself getting married again, but it’s not a decision set in stone:
Never say never, but I don’t have any interest. I’d love a relationship. Who knows? There are moments I want to just crawl up in a ball and say, ‘I need support.
The real truth is that the reasons behind her unlucky love life are a mix of factors, including whether her partner is genuinely interested. Although Aniston has expressed a desire to meet someone, she often finds herself going on a date only to get an invitation to star in a movie instead. (via Yahoo)
Still speaking with Allure, she also acknowledged that she can excel in many areas, except for this one. So, perhaps, it’s all about giving it time and allowing things to settle down while she works on figuring out how to share her life with someone.
