GLOWING JEN’S GORGEOUS REVENGE
She’s like a new woman!
It seems Jennifer Aniston’s split from Justin Theroux is like a super elixir for youthfulness, with the star looking a decade younger during her first outing since their divorce announcement.
The 49-year-old partied with pals at close friend Molly McNearney’s 40th birthday in Los Angeles last week, looking like she had been transported straight from her glowing days with ex-husband Brad Pitt.
“Jen never fully revealed the extent of the heartbreak and torment she was going through in the final months of her marriage to Justin and it’s only just become clear how much of a dark place she was in,” a close source tells us.
“But Jen’s now like a new woman since the split and says she feels like a dark cloud’s been lifted. She’s finally back to her old self again.”
The rom-com queen announced she and Justin, 46, would be divorcing in February after two years of marriage, saying the decision to split “was mutual and lovingly made at the end of last year”.
But that’s a rather glossed-up version of what really went down and in the last few months of their troubled cross-country relationship, Jennifer took up some unhealthy habits to deal with the stress.
Our source claims that, “During the final months, Jen was smoking again, drinking excessively, bingeing on sugar and not taking care of herself, which was a big shock to her body. She was also struggling to sleep, and had been battling with insomnia and crippling anxiety – all of which has been alleviated since the separation.”
Now, instead of spending her days wondering what The
Leftovers actor Justin is up to in his New York bachelor haunt, our source says Jennifer is finally focusing on herself.
“Jen’s had a complete diet and lifestyle overhaul – quitting smoking again, going back to her Pilates sessions four times a week with her trusted coach Mandy Ingber, having twiceweekly vitamin IV drips and going on a total detox following a week-long juicing retreat in Arizona.”
And that incredible glow she was rocking at the party of Jimmy Kimmel’s wife Molly was down to some serious time with the dermatologist.
“She’s having laser facials and microdermabrasion to get her glowing, flawless complexion back,” says our source. “And she’s been staying at Courteney Cox’s Malibu mansion, enjoying long beach walks, hikes in the Santa Monica Mountains, and lots of meditation and yoga to relax and de-stress.”
In addition to the facial rejuvenation, Jennifer also asked her longtime hairstylist Chris McMillan for a makeover of her locks. She’s now sporting the honey-hued waves she favoured when married to Brad. “He gave her a ‘blonde injection’ to get her back to her old self again,” says the source.
It’s no surprise Jennifer is looking like her “old self”, with reports suggesting spending time with Brad has also helped.
Last month, Woman’s Day man’s Day revealed how the former pair are back in contact and have been taking it slowly. Our source explains it’s all about getting to know each other again.
“All her friends have been commenting on her glow – part of which she credits to having Brad back on the scene. He has given her a new lease of life and she says she feels better now than she has for years.”
The former Friends star is looking to relocate to Malibu, after finding the sunshine spot helped mend her broken heart. “She’s done with the city and wants a laidback beach life away from the hustle and bustle. She’s excited to draw a line under her painful past and look towards the future again – and she’s looking and feeling better than ever.”
