Jennifer Aniston Breaks Silence About Brad & Angelina

Jennifer Aniston says Angelina Jolie has a lot to learn about being discreet.

In an interview in the December issue of Vogue, out Nov. 19, Aniston says that, though there's no love lost between her and the woman who ended up with ex-husband Brad Pitt, Jolie should have been much more circumspect about the romance, which blossomed while Pitt and Aniston were still married.

"There was stuff printed there that was definitely from a time when I was unaware that it was happening," Aniston, 39, says of comments Jolie had made to the same magazine a year earlier. "I felt those details were a little inappropriate to discuss. ... That stuff about how she couldn't wait to get to work every day? That was really uncool."

Aniston also opens about her own romantic life, post-Pitt, including a much-discussed on-again, off-again relationship with 31-year-old musician John Mayer, who she says has matured since they've been together.

Rumors that she is "clingy" or "needy" in love are off-base, she says.

"This whole 'Poor lonely Jen' thing, this idea that I'm so unlucky in love? I actually feel I've been unbelievably lucky in love," she says.



Jennifer Aniston on John Mayer: 'We Adore One Another'

Jennifer Aniston has a simple message when it comes to her on-again relationship with John Mayer: "People need to mind their own business," the actress tells Vogue in its December issue.

Of course, Aniston, 39, understands why so many people are intrigued by their romance. There's the age difference – Mayer is eight years younger – and the musician's high-profile past relationships with starlets like Jessica Simpson.

"Did you ever think Claudia Schiffer and David Copperfield made sense?" Aniston says, jokingly comparing her relationship to equally unexpected celebrity couples. "Did Susan Anton and Dudley Moore make sense? Wait! I got more!"

When they met at an Oscar party last February, Aniston says she "barely knew his music." But the two began dating – Aniston flew to England where the rocker was touring – and their relationship developed before the cameras.

Did she know it was going to work out at the time?

"You know, it isn't designed," Aniston says. "Love just shows up and you go, 'Oh, wow, this is going to be a hayride and a half.' "


"I Feel Seriously Protective" of Mayer
When talking about Mayer's famous run-in with reporters outside a gym in Manhattan where he said about their split, "I don't want to waste somebody's time if something's not right," Aniston isn't ruffled.

"He had to put that out there that he broke up with me," she says, about Mayer's comments. "And especially because it's me. It's not just some girl he’s dating. I get it. We're human. But I feel seriously protective of him and us."

Adds Aniston: "It's funny when you hit a place in a relationship and you both realize [that] we maybe need to do something else, but you still really, really love each other. It's painful. There was no malicious intent. I deeply, deeply care about him; we talk, we adore one another. And that's where it is.”


On Her Relationship with Brad Pitt
Equally candid about her ex-husband, Brad Pitt, Aniston says she has spoken to him since their divorce, and calls their split "amicable."

"The marriage didn't work out," she tells the magazine. "Pretty soon after we separated, we got on the phone and we had a long, long conversation with each other and said a lot of things, and ever since we've been unbelievably warm and respectful of each other."

(Aniston also shares some thoughts about Pitt's partner, Angelina Jolie, with the magazine.)

Aniston, who says she's been "unbelievably lucky in love," is also practical about the subject. "Whoever said everything has to be forever," she says. "That's setting your hopes too high. It's too much pressure. And I think if you put that pressure on yourself … that's unattainable."

Re: Jennifer Aniston Breaks Silence About Brad & Angelina

The cover (and shots) are horribly boring and she is too.

Re: Jennifer Aniston Breaks Silence About Brad & Angelina

She looks so good.....she is always so classic and preppy looking. I love that her dog is in the pictures! However...this was %YEARS AGO...EVERYBODY has moved on and so should she.......this is very tacky on both her and Angelina's part.....move on already everybody else has and for the sake of all the children shouldn't we NOT bring up the past

Re: Jennifer Aniston Breaks Silence About Brad & Angelina

She looks great in those pictures.

Re: Jennifer Aniston Breaks Silence About Brad & Angelina

I don't like the cover shot AT ALL, but the others are great!!

Re: Jennifer Aniston Breaks Silence About Brad & Angelina

I don't know - I just don't get her... not into it

Re: Jennifer Aniston Breaks Silence About Brad & Angelina

I think she looks awesome.

Re: Jennifer Aniston Breaks Silence About Brad & Angelina

I think she looks Beautiful. But I always did.
I love that the pictures are casual and NOT over the top glam. That's who she is.
I also love that she finally opened up about her life a little. I was always curious about what she had to say.

Re: Jennifer Aniston Breaks Silence About Brad & Angelina

I agree, the other shots look so alive and fun but the cover is horrible! I can't believe it has ben pick! She looks like a deer AFTER it's been hit by a truck!

Re: Jennifer Aniston Breaks Silence About Brad & Angelina

I just LOVE her -
I hate that cover shot though -

She just is who she is and doesn't seem like she's trying to impress anyone or save the world or whatever - She puts herself out there as just this normal person doing a relally high profile job -


And her doggie is SO cute !!
What kind of dog is that ??

Re: Jennifer Aniston Breaks Silence About Brad & Angelina

Love her!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good for her for finally saying her piece about Angelina!!! Team Aniston all the way

Re: Jennifer Aniston Breaks Silence About Brad & Angelina

I dont like the cover shot, but the the other pictures look amazing!! she is so pretty!

Re: Jennifer Aniston Breaks Silence About Brad & Angelina

wah, wah, wah!

You'd think she'd learn to not talk about John Mayer publicly

Re: Jennifer Aniston Breaks Silence About Brad & Angelina

Re: Jennifer Aniston Breaks Silence About Brad & Angelina

What a bod! I think she is so elegant in how she carries herself.

Re: Jennifer Aniston Breaks Silence About Brad & Angelina

Those pics are great! I would have chosen a different one for the cover though.
Oh boy, she is kinda right with Angelina spilling the beans to the world about her and Bratt.

Re: Jennifer Aniston Breaks Silence About Brad & Angelina

Not a fan. There are 2 pretty ones but the others where she's on the beach in pants and the cover are awful. I see nothing special about her.

Re: Jennifer Aniston Breaks Silence About Brad & Angelina

She is beautiful!!

Re: Jennifer Aniston Breaks Silence About Brad & Angelina

i feel for her with the whole brad and angelina thing. what they did was just not right, and talking about them meeting and how angelina "couldn't wait to get to work" is inappropriate and mean. they know the circumstances and they should keep it private.

i respect angelina for the work she does, but i can't say that i admire her. or brad for that matter.

jen seems to have taken this all in stride and good for her. i think she took the high road.

Re: Jennifer Aniston Breaks Silence About Brad & Angelina

she looks AWESOME!! love her.. not a fan of Angelina

Re: Jennifer Aniston Breaks Silence About Brad & Angelina

Re: Jennifer Aniston Breaks Silence About Brad & Angelina

the only thing I like in these potos is the dog- the rest is ugh.
the top right one isn't bad.
she looks so fake, especially in the cover.
