An unsuspecting wife discovers her soon-to-be ex-husband has moved on with one of the world’s most beautiful actresses. Sound familiar? It sure does to Jennifer Aniston, which is ironic, considering she is now the other woman in a love triangle that has shocked Hollywood.
This time the scorned woman is stunning Queensland native Joanne Gartin, a long-time close friend of Jen and her bestie, Courteney Cox. In the Brad Pitt role as ex-spouse is Joanne’s handsome husband, actor Christopher Gartin. Which leaves Jen as the Angelina Jolie in this marriage meltdown – the other woman who appears to have taken up with Joanne’s man so soon after the relationship breakdown.
When Woman’s Day caught up with Joanne last week, after photographs of her ex and Jen leaving a restaurant emerged, the normally immaculate 37-year-old brunette appeared dishevelled and preoccupied.
“I’m really not at all interested in it,” she said dismissively when asked about the relationship between Jen, 41, and Chris, 42.
However, Woman’s Day can exclusively reveal that behind the scenes it’s a different story after talking to Joanne’s stepmother, Robbie Ahlfeld, on the Gold Coast.
“It’s been difficult for Joanne,” admits Robbie, who learned of the story watching morning TV last week. “I saw [Today show reporter] Richard Reid talking about Jen being seen with a mystery man and I thought, ‘Is that Chris?’ And then I thought, ‘Surely not!’
“It just seems so bizarre to me because Jo and Jen are such good friends. I find it very strange that Jen would do that [to Jo].”
