Jennifer Aniston will forever remain an icon of Hollywood! The love life of the «Friends» alum dominated headlines for over two decades, and she was linked to several celebrities during these years. The star was married to Brad Pitt in the early 2000s and dated celebrities such as John Mayer and Vince Vaughn.
Before she became famous as Rachel in «Friends», - Jen was cast in a short-lived television adaptation of John Hughes' film «Ferris Bueller’s Day Off» in 1990. Former show writer Jim Nelson revealed 24 years later that she was dating her co-star Charlie Schlatter. He described the relationship as «brief» and «fiery».
Jen’s «first love», - Daniel McDonald, passed away from a brain tumor in 2015, and she opened up about the loss in an interview for The New York Times. «He was my first love — we were together for five years», - she said. «He would have been the one. But I was 25, and I was stupid. He must have sent me Justin to make up for it». Daniel’s widow, Mujah Maraini-Melehi, was not pleased with Jennifer’s comments and responded when speaking with Inside Edition. «I'm sorry that Jennifer didn’t understand what a treasure Daniel was when she had the chance, long before he and I met and long before his death. It hurts me to read headlines that suggest she tragically lost him when in fact she was not around during his long and difficult illness».
Jennifer dated Counting Crows vocalist Adam Duritz in the mid-90s, but they eventually broke up. Neither of them spoke much about their time together, however Adam told Us Weekly that they «never slept together», - and he continued to date Jennifer’s best friend, Courteney Cox.
Jennifer dated her «Friends» co-star Tate Donovan, who played a six-episode arc as Joshua, the man her character fell for after his appearance at work. However, the couple started dating before he got the role, and they went through a breakup during filming. «I was just happy to be on the team», - he told Us Weekly in 2018. «The only downside was that Jennifer and I were breaking up at the time. And so that was tricky to play, and make it look like we just met and fell in love with each other, or something like that, when we were actually breaking up. It was just tough».
One of the most iconic couples of the early 2000s, who could forget Jennifer’s marriage and subsequent divorce from Brad. The pair were rising Hollywood stars at the turn of the century — they started dating in 1998 and said «I do» in 2000. After five years together, they split amid rumors that he was cheating on her with his future wife Angelina Jolie. Despite the drama surrounding their high-profile divorce, the pair seems to have remained friendly, and they even joyfully reunited at the SAG Awards 2020. Later that same year, Jennifer and Brad virtually reunited to read the script of «Fast Times at Ridgemont High», - where Jen jokingly called Brad «so sexy» while reading their lines.
After her first divorce, Jennifer was linked to actor Vince Vaughn in 2006. They did their best to avoid paparazzi, considering Jen was one of the most famous stars in the world at the time. However, Vince later admitted that media attention was one of the reasons for their breakup. Their joint statement at the time read: «After Jennifer’s trip to London a few weeks ago, Jennifer and Vince mutually agreed to end their relationship, but continue to remain good friends to this day».
Jennifer started dating musician John Mayer. The Dead & Company singer and the «Horrible Bosses» actress began dating in February 2008 after meeting at an Oscar party. The couple split in the summer of the same year, but in February 2009, they were together again at the Oscars. They definitively broke up shortly after this rare public appearance.
