Jennifer Aniston 's ex Justin Theroux said the couple still "love each other" three years after their divorce.
The American actor, 49, wore his heart on his sleeve when he talked candidly about his romance, break up and new-found friendship with the Friends bombshell, 52.
In a new interview, Justin gave a rare insight into his friendship with Jen, saying they still call and FaceTime each other.
"I would say we've remained friends," he told GQ magazine. "We don't talk every day, but we call each other. We FaceTime. We text."

"Like it or not, we didn't have that dramatic split, and we love each other," he said. "I'm sincere when I say that I cherish our friendship... It would be a loss if we weren't in contact, for me personally. And I'd like to think the same for her."
At the time of their break up, it was believed their hopes of settling in different places was behind the split.
A glamorous Hollywood star, Jen was reluctant to give up her luxurious Los Angeles lifestyle among the galaxy of stars.

However, Justin had set his heart on a completely different direction as he wanted to live on the East Coast.
Now the actor said the distance was an "oversimplification" for the reason to why they really broke up.
He said: "That's a narrative that is not true, for the most part."

He added: "Look, people create narratives that make themselves feel better or simplify things for them. That whole "This person likes rock 'n' roll, that person likes jazz. Of course!" That's just not the case. It's an oversimplification."

Their marriage wasn't meant to go the distance as the pair went public with their split in early 2018.
Recently, Jen was in a storm of headlines over apparently telling her Friends co-stars in the upcoming one-off special that she was adopting a child.
However, her representative confirmed the baby bombshell wasn't true.
