Jennifer Aniston apparently has changed her outlook on romance and told Harper’s Bazaar Australia that she "still believes" in love and romance
Los Angeles, September 9 -- Despite a series of unsuccessful relationships, Jennifer Aniston still believes in Love! The actress, who is divorced from the Hollywood heartthrob Brad Pitt and has been romantically linked to some of the hottest men in Hollywood, has revealed in a recent interview that she still believes in finding someone for her.
Jen’s this statement goes contrary to her earlier decision to not to get married again. In March of this year, the Marley & Me actress reportedly told her friends she will never tie the knot again as she feels no man can live up to her ex-husband Brad Pitt.
Jennifer still romantic
But the comic beauty apparently has changed her outlook on romance and told Harper’s Bazaar Australia that she "still believes" in love and romance.
She tells Harper's: "I'm still a romantic. I think it's important to have closure in any relationship that ends - from a romantic relationship to a friendship. You should always have a sense of clarity at the end and know why it began and why it ended. You need that in your life to move cleanly into your next phase."
The former ‘FRIENDS’ star has previously dated musician Adam Duritz, and was engaged to actor Tate Donovan.
She married Pitt on July 29, 2000, in a lavish Malibu wedding. On Jan. 7, 2005, she divorced Pitt, who has since been enjoying a steady romantic relationship with Hollywood beauty Angelina Jolie.
Since her divorce from Pitt, Jen has been romantically linked to actor Vince Vaughn, British model Paul Sculfor and most recently musician John Mayer, who split from her after a year-long relationship.
After breaking up with John Mayer, Jennifer was rumored to be dating Gerard Butler.
Laziness key to failed relationships
When asked why love can suddenly die, Jennifer explained to Harper’s: “I think it’s laziness. I really do. I think a good relationship is about collaboration. That’s the way to go in a relationship.
“I think you just need to talk to each other. Say what you need. Say what you want. That way it’s not threatening. You just need to say, ‘This is important to me.’ Don’t expect your mate to read your mind.”
The 40-year-old actress said women could also be blamed a bit for the failed relationships. “Oh yeah. I think that’s because it’s just instinctual as a woman to be the caretaker of your home.
“Women complain that men don’t do enough, but it’s your own fault. You train your man to do nothing. You can’t blame someone for not knowing what his or her job should be if you don’t ask for it right off the bat.”
