Justin Theroux has proven that exes can remain close friends, as he recently gave his former wife, Jennifer Aniston, a heartfelt shout-out on Instagram…and revealed her secret nickname in the process.
On October 2, Theroux shared a sweet Instagram Story featuring his rescue dog, Kuma, along with a thoughtful gift he received from Aniston and her pets. In the post, Theroux wrote, “Thank you Auntie Jen,” giving his ex-wife a warm nickname. The post included a picture of Kuma looking up at the camera while Theroux held a package containing Aniston’s debut picture book, Clydeo Takes a Bite Out of Life, which aims to support The Clydeo Fund. This charitable initiative provides resources for rescue dogs, helping them find forever homes and receive necessary rehabilitation.

Aniston and Theroux first met in 2011 while working together on the film Wanderlust. They began dating the following year, got engaged in 2012, and married in 2015 in a private ceremony. However, after three years of marriage, they announced their separation in 2018. Despite the split, the pair issued a joint statement that their decision to part ways was mutual and made with love. They emphasized that they were “two best friends” who intended to remain close, and over the years, they have stayed true to that sentiment.
Their continued friendship has been a topic of discussion, with both of them openly expressing the importance of staying connected. In a recent interview with The Times, Theroux talked about his protective feelings toward Aniston, especially after controversial comments made about her by Republican Vice Presidential candidate JD Vance regarding women without children. Theroux noted, “She is still very dear to me, so of course, yeah, I feel protective.”
While Aniston and Theroux have moved on romantically, their bond remains strong. Theroux is currently engaged to model and actress Nicole Bloom, who made headlines in August at the Venice International Film Festival, where she was spotted wearing an engagement ring.
