In her own words, Jennifer Aniston opens up to Polly Holder about Brad, marriage … and the healing power of screaming!
It’s been four years since Brad Pitt left Jen for Angelina Jolie, but with a string of failed relationships — including recent reported flings with Bradley Cooper and Gerard Butler — she isn’t ready to say goodbye to her ex-husband just yet. Sitting down with Woman’s Day, the beautiful star tells of her pain and her hopes for the future.
My love for Brad
I haven’t been unlucky in love. I’ve been unbelievably lucky. If any of us can say “I’ve been loved”, or “I loved and received love”, then surely that’s enough.
It was very intense being married in the public eye. But I don’t regret any of that time with Brad, and I’m not here to beat myself up about it.
I will love Brad for the rest of my life — you can’t take away good memories. I really do hope that we will be good friends again at some point.
Marriage and children
I still believe in marriage. Why should anyone close their heart down? My joy in life would be to have a very deep and committed partnership —that is what I’m interested in. But I know now that relationships are constantly evolving, and I truly don’t think anyone can ever claim to be at a point where you go, “That’s it, I’ve got it!”
You are always discovering something new, or you ought to be, because it’s complacency that’s the killer. I do want to have children. I just know that I am going to have children.
What I want from a man
I want to be happy, and I want to be loved, and not settling for something second best and less than I deserve.
