Justin Theroux is clearing the air about his breakup with Jennifer Aniston and even has some words of wisdom on relationships.

The actor talked about the dissolution of his marriage to the Friends star in an interview with Esquire published Thursday, dispelling rumors about why the pair parted ways. Reports indicated the duo, who had been romantically linked since 2011, married in 2015, and separated and divorced in 2018, had disagreed over whether theyd live in New York or Los Angeles .

Thats a narrative that is not true, for the most part, Theroux told Esquire.

Look, people create narratives that make themselves feel better or simplify things for them. That whole This person likes rock n roll, that person likes jazz. Of course! Thats just not the case. Its an oversimplification, he said, not offering any addition commentary on the matter.

Theroux explained that he and Aniston have remained friends.

We dont talk every day, but we call each other. We FaceTime. We text, he said.
