Jen gets her man at last!
Bliss: Friends star Jennifer Aniston with her husband, actor and screenwriter Justin Theroux
FOR a decade and through a succession of relationships, she has fended off questions about when she would remarry.
Now Jennifer Aniston has ended the speculation by exchanging wedding vows with boyfriend Justin Theroux at a secret ceremony in Los Angeles.
The 46-year-old former Friends star, who was divorced from Brad Pitt in 2005, invited more than 70 close friends and family, telling them it was an early birthday party for Theroux, who is 44 on Monday.
But the guests found themselves at a very different kind of celebration as the couple, who had been engaged for three years, were married in a ceremony in the grounds of their £14million Bel Air mansion on Wednesday night.
Guests are reported to have included Miss Aniston’s former Friends co- star Lisa Kudrow, 52, British actress Emily Blunt, 32, and chat show host Ellen DeGeneres, 57.
Yesterday website TMZ published photographs from the party, showing a cake topped with his and hers puppets arriving at the mansion. They also appear to show a priest arriving carrying a bible.
The back garden of their home was decked out with a wooden stage and table settings for 74 guests.
Miss Aniston reportedly went to great lengths to keep the party a secret, including erecting a giant shed to hide the
‘Nicest person in the world’
furniture and party supplies, confiscating staff members’ mobile phones and not allowing parking near the house.
Representatives for the couple had not confirmed their marriage last night.
It had been reported that the pair delayed finalising a date for the wedding while they sorted out a £70million prenuptial agreement, although Miss Aniston had insisted she was waiting until the timing was ‘perfect’ and that the couple already ‘felt married’.
Miss Aniston started dating actor and screenwriter Theroux – a cousin of British documentary maker Louis Theroux – in May 2011, although they had known each other for several years.
She has been quoted as saying: ‘I remember thinking he [Theroux] was very dark. At first you think he could be like a serial killer.’
But when the pair worked together on the film Wanderlust and began dating, Miss Aniston said Theroux was ‘the nicest person in the world’.
Miss Aniston was married to Pitt for five years. They split when he fell for Angelina Jolie while filming Mr And Mrs Smith.
A few months later Miss Aniston began a romance with Vince Vaughn, 45, her co-star in The Break Up. They dated for 18 months after which Miss Aniston had a two-month fling with British model Paul Sculfor, 44, in 2007.
The following year she began a 12- month on- off relationship with musician John Mayer, 37, whose list of famous girlfriends include Jessica Simpson, Katy Perry and Taylor Swift. In 2009, it was claimed that Miss Aniston had a fling with actor Bradley Cooper, 40, and the following year she was rumoured to have had a relationship with Gerard Butler, 45, with whom she had costarred in The Bounty Hunter.
