After two years of marital bliss, Aniston and Theroux parted ways in late 2017. Back then, the duo said that they were determined to maintain the love and respect they have for each other in wake of their separation.
True to their word, the pair have maintained an amicable relationship all along. They even reunited back in July to mourn the loss of their beloved rescue dog, Dolly.
