While her father went on to marry his second wife Sherry Rooney in 1984, her mother "never let go" of her "toxic" resentment. Jennifer said she learnt from her mother's mistakes, telling Allure: "I forgave my mom. I forgave my father. I've forgiven my family."
She explained: "I think my mom's divorce really screwed her up. Back in that generation it wasn’t like, 'Go to therapy, talk to somebody. Why don't you start microdosing?' You're going through life and picking up your child with tears on your face and you don't have any help."

The actress said of her mother's reaction to the breakdown of her 15-year marriage: "It's toxic to have that resentment, that anger. I learned that by watching my mom never let go of it. I remember saying, 'Thank you for showing me what never to be.'"
Despite her parents' split, it didn't put Jennifer off marriage. She tied the knot with Brad Pitt in 2000 before they went their separate ways in 2005, and she married her second husband Justin Theroux in 2015, but they split in 2017.

During her latest interview, Jennifer explained that she had previously hoped to start a family, but she doesn't have "any interest" in walking down the aisle again.
On the prospect of her dating again, she added: "Who knows? There are moments I want to just crawl up in a ball and say, 'I need support.' It would be wonderful to come home and fall into somebody's arms and say, 'That was a tough day.'"
