From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

Jennifer Aniston has marked her ex-husband Justin Theroux’s birthday on Instagram, sharing two images of the “one-of-a-kind” actor.

Aniston posted the images on her Instagram Story. One of them features Theroux in a suit, along with the message: “Happy birthday JT.”

The second photo is of a shirtless Theroux. “Truly one-of-a-kind,” Aniston wrote underneath the image. “Love you!”

Theroux turned 50 on Tuesday (10 August). He and Aniston began dating in 2011 and married in August 2015. They announced their split in February 2018.

In September of that year, Theroux told The New York Times:“The good news is that was probably the most – I’m choosing my words really carefully – it was kind of the most gentle separation, in that there was no animosity,.

“In a weird way, just sort of navigating the inevitable perception of it is the exhausting part.”

Aniston’s birthday post comes on the heels of reports that Aniston and her former Friends co-star David Schwimmer are spending more time together after the Friends reunion “stirred up feelings for both of them”.

Schwimmer’s reps, however, have said there is “no truth” to those rumours.

Aniston and Schwimmer, who respectively starred as Rachel and Ross on Friends, revealed during the Friends reunion earlier this year that they had feelings for each other when the sitcom was filming, although they were never in a relationship.
