There’s a lot you don’t know about the romantic life of your favorite “Friends” actress.
Daniel McDonald
Aniston’s first love was actor Daniel McDonald.
The actress said toThe New York Times, “He was my first love five years we were together.
He would have been the one.
But I was 25, and I was stupid.
He must have sent me Justin [Theroux] to make up for it all.”
He died at the age of 46 in 2007.
His widow, Mujah Maraini-Melehi, acknowledged her husband and Aniston’s long relationship.
Adam Duritz
The Counting Crows lead singer helped heal the actress' broken heart from McDonald.
With his dreadlocks and soulful voice, Adam Duritz was Aniston’s leading man in 1995.
They kept their brief relationship quiet.
When I run into her now, she’s still very sweet."
After almost three years together, the couple decided to call it quits.
The problem was that Donovan was hired to play Rachel’s new boyfriend, Joshua.
“I was just happy to be on the team.
That was just tough.”
Brad Pitt
Brad Pittand Aniston met in 1994 via their managers.
“He was just this sweet guy from Missouri, you know?”
she said (viaRolling Stone).
“A normal guy.”
“[B]ut the day of, I was just excited in a good way.
The nice thing about weddings now is it’s not just a chick thing.
It’s a team effort.
The stereotype used to be men grumbling, like, ‘Why are you making me do this?’
There’s nothing more moving than seeing a man cry at his own wedding.”
Vince Vaughn
The actress dated funnyman Vince Vaughn shortly after breaking up with Pitt.
The two co-starred in the film “The Break-Up.”
Their year-long romance was easy and fun, although highly scrutinized by the paparazzi.
“She’s great,” said Vaughn of Aniston to theHuffPost.
But I really spent most of that time finding ways not to be drawn into the attention.
John Mayer
Musician John Mayer met Aniston at an Oscars party.
They began dating in 2008, and their on-again, off-again romance would last one year.
“And then we ran into each other a week later, and that was that.”
She claimed that their relationship “isn’t designed.
And especially because it’sme.
It’s not just some girl he’s dating.
But I feel seriously protective of him and us.
There was no malicious intent.
I deeply, deeply care about him; we talk, we adore one another.
And that’s where it is.”
Aniston was close friends with one of the movie’s stars, Ben Stiller.
In 2012, they starred in the movie “Wanderlust.”
“As I get older, I realize what qualities are important in love and what suits me.
And what I won’t settle for.”
Aniston toldThe New York Timesof her ring, “He rocked it up.
It took me a while to get used to it.
I’m not a diamond girl.”
The couple would split in 2018.
