Jennifer Aniston received support from ex-husband Justin Theroux over her candid interview – and the stunning photoshoot alongside it.

Taking to Instagram, she shared a selection of photos and a background video from the shoot with her millions of followers.

In the comments below, which were filled huge amounts of cheer from the biggest names in Hollywood, Justin offered a subtle message of praise.

‘👊 ❤️,’ he wrote.

They announced their engagement the following year, and managed to throw a secret wedding in 2015, with around 70 of their closest friends and family members.

Friends stars Courteney Cox and Lisa Kudrow were among those lucky enough to snag an invitation, while Jimmy Kimmel officiated the ceremony – which was initially billed as a surprise party for the groom.

Sadly, it wasn’t to last and their marriage came to an end at the beginning of 2018, and they confirmed their split in a joint statement at the time.

‘In an effort to reduce any further speculation, we have decided to announce our separation,’ it read. ‘This decision was mutual and lovingly made at the end of last year.

‘We are two best friends who have decided to part ways as a couple, but look forward to continuing our cherished friendship.’

Despite going their separate ways, the former couple have remained close over the years, and have publicly supported each other in the past.

Jennifer made headlines this week when she opened up about her devastating secret battle to start a family.

Speaking to Allure, she recalled times where she was ‘trying to get pregnant’ several years ago, but found it to be a challenging process.

‘I was trying to get pregnant. It was a challenging road for me, the baby-making road,’ she said. ‘All the years and years and years of speculation… It was really hard. I was going through IVF, drinking Chinese teas, you name it. I was throwing everything at it.

‘I would’ve given anything if someone had said to me, “Freeze your eggs. Do yourself a favor.” You just don’t think it. So here I am today. The ship has sailed.’

Jennifer, who was previously married to Brad Pitt for five years, insisted that, despite her past heartache, she has ‘zero regrets’ over the way that her life has turned out.

‘I have zero regrets,’ she added. ‘I actually feel a little relief now because there is no more, “Can I? Maybe. Maybe. Maybe.” I don’t have to think about that anymore.’
