Jennifer Aniston believes in her gut that shell eventually meet the right person

Jennifer Aniston has not been in a serious relationship, to our knowledge, since Justin Theroux. Jennifer and Justin broke up – although they claimed they were “divorcing” – in February 2018. I actually believe that Jennifer has dated random guys in the past five years and we just never learned about it, mostly because she never made anything official or did a big boyfriend rollout. It seemed like Aniston’s need to always be publicly associated with a man died after her fake marriage to Theroux ended. Which is fine with me and fine with Aniston’s fans. I think her life sounds amazing – she’s rich, she lives in mansions, she renovates these exclusive properties to her ‘70s aesthetic, she has dogs and lots of friends and a private chef. That’s the dream. But because she’s Jennifer Aniston, people always focus on her romantic life, even if there’s nothing going on there. Thus, this Us Weekly story:

In her glory days. Jennifer Aniston is still open to finding The One — but is perfectly happy embracing life on her own.

“[Jennifer] in a great place. She’s happy, healthy and fulfilled by her career, family and friends,” an insider shares in the newest edition of Us Weekly. “[She’s] been through a lot, but she feels blessed to be thriving personally and professionally.”

Since her divorce from Justin Theroux, Aniston has been happy rolling solo — and isn’t worried about when the next chapter of her love life will begin. “In her gut, Jen believes she’ll eventually meet the right person,” a second source tells Us. “But she’s not going to beat herself up if it doesn’t happen.”

The Emmy winner recently made headlines for her decision to embrace the aging process by showing off her gray hair – and feels “empowered looking at beauty from the inside out,” the second source tells Us. “Sure, she’s had subtle help here and there and occasional touch-up, but nothing too intense or over the top. She’s way more interested in natural, organic beauty methods.”

Part of feeling good is focusing on her health. Aniston tries to work out about five times a week, according to the insider, who notes that the California native “also meditates and loves hikes with her dogs.”

That doesn’t mean the We’re the Millers star doesn’t embrace balance — and letting loose when the moment calls for it. “Jen’s meals are rich in protein with a healthy amount of carbs and he also indulges in treats and cheat days,” the insider explains. “If she wants to enjoy a dirty martini or tequila, she’ll splurge. It’s no big deal.”

For Aniston, it’s about “being as healthy and happy as she can be,” the first source says. That includes involving herself in professional opportunities that she feels passionate about. “[She] still has goals when it comes to her acting career,” the insider shares, noting that the Break-Up actress would “love to get her hands on an Oscar-worthy script” but has a “go-with-the-flow attitude” about what comes next.

This bugs me – I did a better job of making Aniston’s life sound amazing than her publicist did. Like, Aniston is at her best when she’s in her lane of comedic TV actress and all-around girl-next-door and “friend.” That’s her brand. She’s 54 years old – the jig is up, and Jennifer is living the exact life she wants for herself, so why do we have to insinuate that she’s still waiting for The One, waiting for the Oscar-bait script, waiting for the next big thing? I don’t know, this article irritated me. I have to say, I’m actually grateful that we haven’t been inundated with this kind of stuff over the past five years. Aniston’s CAA team stopped casting her as Ms. Lonelyhearts, but every now and then, they go back to that well.
