ACCORDING to gossip rules, Jennifer Aniston's love life has to be seen through the prism of her failed marriage to Brad Pitt and his now happy life with Angelina Jolie.

Every boyfriend she's dated since her divorce seems to be code for either she's over Brad or secretly trying to win him back.

So it's fitting that her engagement to Justin Theroux comes days after the world was whipped into a frenzy by rumours Pitt and Jolie were set to wed in the south of France.

Aniston, 43, said yes to a marriage proposal from her actor boyfriend, Justin Theroux, 41, on Friday.

"Justin Theroux had an amazing birthday on Friday, receiving an extraordinary gift when his girlfriend, Jennifer Aniston, accepted his proposal of marriage," the actor’s representatives told People magazine.

Aniston's publicist separately confirmed the news soon after.

Rumours that the couple's 15-month relationship was on the rocks were rampant, but the couple are indeed going strong and will marry in the near future.

They began dating after they shot movie Wanderlust together and there are rumours they are planning to wed in Greece later on this year.

Aniston and Pitt tied the knot in 2000, but divorced five years later. Pitt went public with his and Jolie's relationship soon after and they are now raising six children together.
