Celebrity

'We are two best friends who have decided to part ways as a couple, but look forward to continuing our cherished friendship,' announced the pair through an official statement.

AceShowbiz - Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux are separating after two and a half years of marriage. The pair, who spent seven years as a couple, announce their split in a statement to Associated Press released by longtime Aniston publicist Stephen Huvane.

"In an effort to reduce any further speculation, we have decided to announce our separation. This decision was mutual and lovingly made at the end of last year," the statement reads. "We are two best friends who have decided to part ways as a couple, but look forward to continuing our cherished friendship."

Through the statement, Aniston and Theroux also say not to believe any "fictional narrative" regarding their relationship which has been spreading on internet. "Normally we would do this privately, but given that the gossip industry cannot resist an opportunity to speculate and invent, we wanted to convey the truth directly," they say. "Whatever else is printed about us that is not directly from us, is someone else's fictional narrative. Above all, we are determined to maintain the deep respect and love that we have for one another."

The announcement of their separation came just days after Aniston's 49th birthday. The "Friends" alum gathered her gal pals to celebrate her milestone at Courteney Cox's Malibu house. Also present at the low-key bash were Mandy Ingber and Jennifer's manager Aleen Keshishian among others.

Aniston and Theroux did seem to spend time apart in recent months with Theroux being often spotted in New York City away from the former couple's L.A. home. Meanwhile, Aniston is busy filming "Dumplin'" in Atlanta. Their last public appearance was on July 26, 2017 when they attended Jason Bateman's Hollywood Walk of Fame star ceremony.

Following their shocking split, people took to Twitter to share their reactions. Some of them seemingly hoped that Aniston would reunite with ex-husband Brad Pitt now that both are single. "Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston better get back together and make everyone believe in love again," tweeted a user. Echoing the remarks, another user wrote, "The Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston are reuniting stories will begin in 4, 3, 2....."
