It’s the separation pop culture fans didn’t exactly see coming.

Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux are going their separate ways after less than three years of marriage.

“In an effort to reduce any further speculation, we have decided to announce our separation. 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,” the couple said in a joint statement to E! News. “Normally we would do this privately, but given that the gossip industry cannot resist an opportunity to speculate and invent, we wanted to convey the truth directly. Whatever else is printed about us that is not directly from us, is someone else’s fictional narrative. Above all, we are determined to maintain the deep respect and love that we have for one another.”

The couple got engaged in August of 2012 and  surprised fans when they got married in a top-secret wedding on August 5, 2015. They have no children together.

Their Hollywood ceremony was attended by dozens of their famous friends including Howard Stern, Ellen DeGeneres, Sandra Bullock and more.

While the couple kept their relationship private in terms of Hollywood standards, Justin would occasionally post photos of his leading lady on Instagram.

In addition, the pair would gush over each other during rare red carpet and magazine interviews. When asked how he was going to celebrate his two-year wedding anniversary, Justin dropped some hints to E! News. 

“Isn’t number two cotton? Am I supposed to get something cotton? So probably just a bag of cotton,” the actor joked to us. 

And like many famous couples, this couple faced more than a few tabloid headlines. Ultimately, Jennifer made it clear that it didn’t affect her.

“How many times can I be out there in the world, enjoying my life, and yet the narrative is ‘Poor, Sorry, Sad in Love Jen’…whatever the stupid headline is,” the actress shared with Harper’s Bazaar during her engagement. “It’s almost impossible to get bored with one another. We’ve tried so hard! And even that’s interesting because his eyes are so pretty, but we can entertain ourselves and talk about endless things, which is pretty great.”

As for Justin, he never felt intimidated by his wife’s success. Instead, he was just so proud of her. “She’s successful for a reason…We’re not in competition,” he told Esquire.

The couple was most recently photographed together while vacationing in Cabo San Lucas around the New Year’s holiday.

Bachelor in Paradise‘s Carly Waddell and Evan Bass have welcomed their first child together, a daughter named Isabella Evelyn Bass, they announced on social media. 

The couple took to Instagram Stories on Thursday evening to share little Isabella’s birth story. Evan praised his wife, “You were a bass, baller, owned the whole experience, killed it!” as he held the newborn in his arms. 

He added in a statement to People, “It was a perfect birth, no problems at all. We were supposed to induce her today but Carly’s water broke 15 minutes before our alarm went off so Bella is setting her own birthday! Carly is recovering well and the baby has had her eyes open for hours. I cried a lot during the birth! We are smitten and cannot stop kissing, cuddling and adoring her.”

This is Waddell’s first child, however, Baby Bella joins big brothers Nathan, Liam and Ensley—Bass’ three sons from a previous relationship.

On Jan. 29, Evan took to twitter to say that, “Carly’s having fairly intense contractions tonight,” which just so happened to be while The Bachelor was airing.

The reality TV stars found love on season 3 of Bachelor in Paradise, ultimately returning to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico for a wedding ceremony that was televised in June 2017 and officiated by host Chris Harrison. Wells Adams served as a groomsmen, while Carly’s best friend from her season of The Bachelor Jade Tolbert was a bridesmaid. Other Bachelor stars that attended included Shawn Booth, Kaitlyn Bristowe, Nick Viall and Vanessa Grimaldi. 

The pair have been in full prep mode for a while. Earlier this month, Bass announced via social media that the couple had decided upon the name Isabella Evelyn.

“Well folks, I lost the battle to name our baby girl Evan but I won the war with the name: ‘Isabella Evelyn Bass,’” he wrote. “My sweet Grandma Bass was named Evelyn and she was the best and I hope that our daughter is fierce like her.”

 On Jan. 14, Waddell took to Instagram to share images from her baby shower with fans.

“Yesterday was the most enchanting celebration for Little Bella. We were surrounded by love and laughter from friends and family in a whimsical fairly land,” Carly shared on Instagram with a collage of photos from the celebration. “We are now fully stocked with floral headbands, fairy dolls, soft pink swaddles, swings, bouncers, indies, and hand made wall hangings. I would say she’s about ready to greet the world. Dress is from @asos_maternity.” 

Congrats to the growing family!

[Verse 1]
Running from the morning
Think I hit a wall
Late nights, not you
Running from the moment
So I don’t recall
Late nights, not you

Waking up in a cold sweat
Someone else in this cold bed
I’d do anything to not be alone
All alone with the ceiling
All alone with this feeling
And I wonder if I’ll ever let go

[Pre-Chorus]
I tried spending my nights under
Someone new
But the truth is
I could spend my whole life getting over you

[Chorus]
Yeah yeah yeah
Getting over you
Getting over you
Getting over you
Getting over you
Getting over you
Getting over you

[Verse 2]
Drowning in my coffee
To wash the alcohol
Out my bloodstream
Sitting here I wonder
If we hadn’t been at all
Who would I be

Waking up in a cold sweat
Someone else in this cold bed
And I wonder if I’ll ever let go

[Pre-Chorus]
I tried spending
My nights under
Someone new
But the truth is
I could spend my whole life getting over you

[Chorus]
Yeah yeah yeah
Getting over you
Getting over you
Getting over you
Getting over you
Getting over you
Getting over you

[Pre-Chorus]
I tried spending
My nights under
Someone new
But the truth is
I could spend my whole life getting over you

[Chorus]
Getting over you
Getting over you
Getting over you
Getting over you

[Intro]
Castles glitter under Spanish skies
But I’m just looking out for you tonight

[Verse 1]
We used to run around this ghost town
Always thinking out loud
Are we gonna get out?
I remember
We dream of places that we could go
Castles with the strange glow
People that we don’t know
I remember

[Pre-Chorus 1]
We left a life
That’s ordinary from the start
We looked for stranger things
‘Cause that’s just who we are
Found me the edge of something beautiful and loud
Like I’m picturing now

[Chorus]
Castles glitter under Spanish skies
But I’m just looking out for you tonight
Snow white mountains in a foreign state
Tell me someday we’ll get there

[Break]
Someday
Someday

[Verse 2]
I see a Technicolor shadow
Underneath your window
Just in case you don’t know
I can see it
You cast an unfamiliar day glow
Different than what I know
Shining like a halo
I can feel it

[Pre-Chorus 2]
We turned our back on ordinary from the start
We looked for stranger things
‘Cause that’s just who we are
Found me the edge of something beautiful and loud
Show me the sky falling down

[Chorus]
Castles glitter under Spanish skies
But I’m just looking out for you tonight
Snow white mountains in an ancient place
Tell me someday we’ll get there

[Break]
Someday
Someday

[Outro]
Castles glitter under Spanish skies
But I’m just looking out for you tonight
Snow white mountains in an ancient place
Tell me someday we’ll get there

[Intro]
I guess you and I different than them after all
Booted up, Molly jolly, no Adderall
I got tired of eatin’ PB&J, noodle casserole
All my niggas behind the wall
All my niggas, they in the pen
Or they in the grave
Flyin’ in the [?], nigga, fuck a Wraith

[Chorus]
This what it sound like
Look what it sound like when a vulture cry
Look what it sound like when a vulture cry
Booted up, I’m high, booted up out my mind
I’m booted up out my mind
This what it sound like when a vulture cry
This what it sound like when a vulture cry
This what it sound like when I try to cry
I be tryin’ to cry
When my niggas died, I was tryin’ to cry
When my niggas died, I couldn’t even watch you cry

[Verse]
Jumped up out the womb like my daddy the devil
My son jumped up out the womb like his daddy the devil
Life’s been better
I thank the Lord life’s been better
Ever since I dropped up outta school, nigga, life’s been better
Since I ran out with the tool just to get me some cheddar
Had to jump out on a fool, whacked him, teach him a lesson
Lil’ nigga, I ain’t explainin’ to you, so I don’t need you to spell it
I had jumped up off the porch headfirst, I was ready
But the feds take a nigga ass away from his family
To hear my nigga tell it, man, that shit damn embarrassing
Go back to hittin’ licks, got me thuggin’ in Maryland
Smokin’ gas, got my tank on 93 supreme
Smokin’ gas, drinkin’ oil, no kerosene
Had to fill all my guns up with blackheads
Fill my guns up with diamonds, so I run the biz
Fill my gums up with diamonds, look like gingivitis
All this money got me lookin’ like Illuminati
He done caught his first body, swear he did enough
You can’t tell him nothin’, feel like he a real dog
Even in the rap shit, I get real love
But how you knowin’ real love when you ain’t got a feeling?
What you know about trust when you not feeling?
I came up, now they pay a nigga top penny
Birdman tryna give the kid a couple million
Before Atlantic Records signed me, I was gettin’ chicken
I was scammin’, I was plannin’ on the same dream
I got tired of baloney sandwich, no canteen
Got tired of PB&J, noodle casserole
I drink the coffee with the Molly, no Adderall
I guess someone not different than him after all
Stayin’ focused, [?], I be spazzin’ now
Why you think they call him Kodak Black? I be blackin’ out
These niggas want me in the books like I’m Pacquiao
Losin’ all my niggas, started drinkin’ alcohol
I jumped out the womb like my daddy the devil
I walked up in the building like I’m young and I’m clever, yeah
I walked up in the building like I’m young and I’m special, yeah
I got a couple million, also tote a Beretta
I dropped out of school just to get me some cheddar

[Chorus]
This what it sound like
Look what it sound like when a vulture cry
Look what it sound like when a vulture cry
Booted up, I’m high, booted up out my mind
I’m booted up out my mind
This what it sound like when a vulture cry
This what it sound like when a vulture cry
This what it sound like when I try to cry
I be tryin’ to cry
When my niggas died, I was tryin’ to cry
When my niggas died, I couldn’t even watch you cry
