Jennifer Aniston discusses her first love, Justin, and that mega-big engagement ring!

Aniston opened up in an interview with The New York Times about her first love, who has since passed away. "He was my first love — five years we were together," she said of her deceased ex whose name she did not mention. He passed away after suffering a brain tumor. She continued to say, "He would have been the one. But I was 25, and I was stupid. He must have sent me Justin to make up for it all."

Aniston is currently engaged to Justin Theroux, 43, who she met while filming Wanderlust. The pair have been engaged since 2012 after Aniston accepted quite a “rock” from her former co-star. According to Us Weekly, the diamond ring is approximately 8-carats. "It’s a rock, I know. He rocked it up. It took me a while to get used to it. I’m not a diamond girl. I'm more Indian jewelry and stuff,” Aniston said.

Prior to getting engaged to Theroux, Aniston went through a very public divorce from her ex-husband, Brat Pitt after five years of marriage.
