Justin Theroux has publicly discussed his split from Jennifer Aniston for the first time. In a sit-down with the New York Times, the actor called his divorce with the Friends star "heartbreaking" but "gentle," per USA Today. According to People, the 47-year-old star of the newly released Netflix series Maniac called it "the most gentle separation, in that there was no animosity." Prior to his interview, which appeared in the Times on Saturday, Theroux had been completely tight-lipped following the split, which they announced in February after two years of marriage and seven years as a couple. While the separation reportedly happened in late 2017, it wasn't publicized until early 2018. "This decision was mutual and lovingly made at the end of last year," they said in a statement at the time. "We are two best friends who have decided to part ways as a couple."
