Jennifer Aniston’s ex-husband Justin Theroux wishes her a happy 52nd birthday

Justin Theroux wished ex-wife Jennifer Aniston a happy 52nd birthday with the help of his Instagram Stories on Thursday.

While sending him his best wishes, Justin shared a glamorous photo of his ex-partner walking up a spiral staircase with a mirrored wall and wrote: ‘[heart] you B! ‘

It’s unclear why the The Leftovers star often calls her B because the letter isn’t in her initials – her middle name is Joanna.

All that sweet affection: Justin Theroux wished ex-wife Jennifer Aniston a happy 52nd birthday on Thursday

The couple married from 2015 to 2017, but managed to stay friendly after what Justin previously called a ‘sweet separation’.

The friends icon glanced over one shoulder as she walked up the stairs while modeling a long, flowing overcoat.

They announced their separation in February 2018 and a few months later Justin told the New York Times how friendly the process had been.

“ The good news is that it was probably the most – I choose my words very carefully – it was sort of the sweetest parting, in the sense that there was no animosity. ”

The Tropic Thunder writer added, “ In a weird way, just navigating the inevitable perception of this one is the exhausting part. ”

Justin, who is three years younger than Jennifer, married her in Bel-Air in 2015 and they separated about two years later.

Justin and Jennifer started dating in 2011, after working together on the movie Wanderlust. He had a 14-year relationship with costume designer Heidi Bivens which fell apart in 2011.

At the time, E! News claimed that Heidi had been, according to a friend, “completely abandoned”, although the report qualifies: “Not to say that it is Aniston’s fault, maybe the timing was just terrible?

“Things were already over between him and Heidi before he got close to Jen,” a source from Justin’s camp insisted to Page Six.

Heidi’s mother, Marilyn, spoke to Radar Online in 2016, claiming that Justin first tried to persuade Heidi that he and Jennifer were not an object.

Marilyn said: “ Heidi told me what Justin told her, that something was going to be written about him and Jennifer, that something was going on between them and he wanted her to know that it was nothing, there was nothing to it. ”

Eventually, Heidi found out that the rumors were true, “And my sweet Heidi, she calls me and says, ‘Oh mom’. I had cancer at the time. It was a time that hurt our family. Remembers Marilyn.

Last year, audiences saw how Jennifer’s relationship had thawed with her first husband Brad Pitt, who sadly left her for Angelina Jolie in 2005.

So nice: Jennifer was seen having a friendly chat backstage at last year’s SAG Awards with her first husband Brad Pitt

Brad and Jennifer both won acting trophies last January at the SAG Awards – where he made a joke on stage about his failed marriages.

He said sarcastically that it had been “ difficult ” to play a “ guy who gets high, takes off his shirt and doesn’t get along with his wife ” on Once Upon A Time In Hollywood.

The camera then turned to the audience where his Jennifer jokingly clapped and sported a wry expression of gratitude.

She and Brad were seen having a friendly chat backstage – and as she walked away she put a hand on his chest and he held it briefly on the wrist.
