Jennifer Aniston is undoubtedly a fan favorite with a career spanning more than three decades with several high-ranking movies to her credit. Still, the actress has endured some heartbreaking relationships.
Jennifer Aniston’s calm nature and funny lines make it difficult for fans not to fall in love with her. Decades since she first became a star, Aniston remains one of the highest-paid actresses in the industry.
Aniston is best known for her role as Rachel Green on the hit sitcom “Friends” and other movies such as “The Break-Up,” “Horrible Bosses,” “Cake,” and most recently, “The Morning Show.”
Aside from her career, Aniston’s personal life has caught the headlines several times. Her marriage with Brad Pitt and subsequent divorce was the most talked about event in Hollywood for a while as fans did not see their breakup coming.
Pitt was accused of ditching the actress in favor of his romance with co-star Angelina Jolie, who he later married and divorced. Both Pitt and Jolie denied any wrongdoing while the actor was married to Aniston, although fans argue otherwise.
Her breakup with Pitt was one of the lowest points of her life and caused her to rekindle her relationship with her mom, with whom she had been estranged for over a decade.
Aniston and her mom, actress Nancy Dow, did not have the perfect mother-daughter bond and were estranged for most of the actress’s adult life. Still, despite their broken relationship, she helped her mother financially but was met with further heartbreak.

NOT THE CHILD SHE HOPED FOR
Despite being a popular star, Aniston is private about her life. One of the few times she opened up on her younger years and family was to shed light on her fragile relationship with her mom.
While promoting her 2018 Netflix movie “Dumplin,” the “Friends” star remarked that her real-life relationship with Dow matched her character’s mother-daughter bond. The movie was reminiscent of a story with which Aniston was already familiar.
Aniston stars as Rosie, a former pageant queen who now leads her tiny town’s young beauty pageant in the film “Dumplin.” She was the single mom of Willowdean or Will, whom she refers to as Dumplin.
Will is overweight and resents her mother’s apparent preference for the pageant girls over her, so she enters the competition. Every moment of the movie was a relatable experience for Aniston.
