Update 11/08/21: Jennifer Aniston Wishes Justin Theroux Happy Birthday

Proving they are the friendliest of exes once again, Jennifer Aniston has shared personal photos of ex-husband Justin Theroux to celebrate his milestone birthday.

The actor turned 50 years old on August 10 and the occasion was marked by Aniston who shared two photos of Theroux with her 37.8 million followers.

The first showed a suited and booted Theroux staring down the camera while his dog, Kuma was seeing in the background.

The couple have maintained a close friendship since announcing their separation in 2018. In April, Theroux discussed how they have a lot of respect and love for each other in the aftermath of their divorce.

'Like it or not, we didn’t have that dramatic split, and we love each other,' Theroux told Esquire. 'I’m sincere when I say that I cherish our friendship. We can not be together and still bring each other joy and friendship. Also, she makes me laugh very, very hard. She’s a hilarious person. It would be a loss if we weren’t in contact, for me personally. And I’d like to think the same for her.'

Since then, neither Aniston nor Theroux has been linked with another partner - publicly - in any serious capacity.

In fact, on the day of Theroux's birthday, rumours began to spread across the internet that Aniston was dating her former co-star David Schwimmer - which he has since denied through a representative.

Original story 12/02/21: Justin Theroux Wishes Jennifer Aniston A Happy Birthday With Never Before Seen Photo

Jennifer Aniston - evidently one of Hollywood's most beloved women, judging by what happened when the Friends alum joined Instagram - turned 52 years old yesterday, on February 11.

Naturally, The Morning Show star was inundated with well-wishes and birthday messages from fans, as well as her many celebrity friends.

One of whom, was Justin Theroux, Aniston's ex-husband. Taking to his Instagram Stories, the Leftovers actor shared a previously unseen photo of Aniston along with a sweet caption.

In the black and white photo, Aniston is climbing up a spiral staircase and has turned to look over her shoulder.

Theroux wished Aniston a happy birthday in the photo, commenting, '❤️ you B' on the snap. Last year, sharing a similar black and white photo, Theroux also referred to his former spouse as 'B'.

The couple announced they were separating in February 2018 after two years of marriage and four years of dating. However, since their separation they have remained close friends, reuniting at intimate gatherings with friendship groups, commenting on each other's Instagram accounts and getting together for important life events, like when their dog Dolly sadly passed away in 2019.

Aniston's BFF Courteney Cox also wished her former Friends co-star a 'happy birthday' and also revealed her nickname for Aniston, referring to the actor as 'Jenny Louise'.

Reese Witherspoon paid tribute to her The Morning Show co-star too, saying the two had gone from Green sisters in Friends to co-anchors on the show.

Happy birthday, Jen!
