The star’s good girl image is shattered as she steps out with her new man Justin Theroux… leaving his girlfriend heartbroken.
The tabloid headlines scream, “Jennifer Aniston caught in torrid love triangle!” and at first it seems like Hollywood’s gossip machine has travelled back in time to 2005, when Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s affair left her life in pieces. But this time things are very different! Now Jen is being painted as the “scarlet woman” who has reportedly stolen writer and director Justin Theroux away from his girlfriend with her sheer sex appeal.
But those closest to Jen, 42, are worried that while bringing Justin, 39, under her spell will definitely have been an ego boost, it won’t necessarily be the recipe for the lasting happiness she so desperately craves. One friend who has known Jen for almost eight years tells Woman’s Day, “It is certainly not something I would have ever expected her to do. But she is sick of playing by the rules and always ending up alone.
“It seems the guys in Hollywood have always called the shots and it’s Jen who gets hurt. She wanted Justin, so she let him know that – he obviously wanted Jen more than he wanted the other girl.” The “other girl” is Justin’s long-time girlfriend, New York stylist Heidi Bivens, 34, who just last month was boasting about the “perfect” holiday they’d recently shared in Hawaii. She honestly believed they were still dating until she read about his fling with Jen in the newspaper two weeks ago.
A friend of Heidi’s tells Woman’s Day she is “heartbroken – and the most shocking thing is, Jen definitely knew about Heidi. She has a feeling of betrayal. She and Justin had been together for years and there was never any problem in their relationship before this.”
Bumping into an ex is always uncomfortable. So which one of Jen’s former flings bumped into her and Justin at the Movie Awards After Party? And could there be wedding bells for the new pair? Find out in this week’s Woman’s Day on sale June 13, 2011.
