Justin Theroux Still Feels Protective Over Ex-Wife Jennifer Aniston

Justin Theroux just got engaged to his actress girlfriend but he’s still talking about his much more famous ex-wife, Jennifer Aniston. He admits he still feels “protective” of her.

The “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” star sat down for a new interview with the Times and said Jen’s recent beef with Donald Trump’s running mate, J.D. Vance, had him in his feelings over his ex.

Justin told the Times about Jennifer, “She is still very dear to me so, of course, yeah, I feel protective.”

He was responding to questions about Jennifer’s public spat with J.D. over Vance’s controversial childless cat lady remarks.

Justin added, “But she batted back criticism, as well she should.”

It’s unclear how the interview is going to go over with Justin’s new fiancée, Nicole Brydon Bloom. They just got engaged last month in Italy during his promotional run for his new movie.

Justin and Jennifer got hitched way back in 2015 but divorced in 2018. It seems Jennifer’s still got a place in Justin’s heart.
