Jennifer Aniston has never had much privacy when it comes to her personal life, especially after her messy breakup with Brad Pitt. It was all over pop culture news, and since then, she’s had some ups and downs in her love life for a variety of reasons.

Dating seems to be a mix of past trauma and emotional barriers, according to her recent interviews. But despite it all, she hasn’t lost hope.
Jennifer Aniston Is Having Dates At Her Home For More Privacy
Jennifer Aniston in The Morning Show (Credits: Apple TV+)Her life has always been splashed across the tabloids, and it seems that it’s started to really get to her. To avoid this kind of attention and have more privacy while dating, Jennifer Aniston has begun meeting new suitors in the comfort of her own home.
According to a friend of the actress who spoke to Radar Online, Aniston feels more comfortable having dates at her Bel-Air mansion in Los Angeles, California. He mentioned that she is shy and prefers staying home, and this way, she can better control the entire experience. The source stated:
(…) She can have the lighting set to flatter her skin, her favorite candles burning, staffers to bring refreshments.
Her home really is a sanctuary and where she feels most secure, so at this point, she’d much rather just have her dates come to her rather than drag them down out to the Sunset Tower, which used to be a favorite haunt of hers. It’s not that she’s trying to hide them, she just prefers to have a more low-key dating life.
This seems to be the perfect way for Aniston to not only get to know someone in a more relaxed setting, but also to avoid the potential issues that arise when the media spots her with someone.
The actress had already shared that she feels uncomfortable with the fact that she can’t even go out with a male friend without rumors starting that they were dating (via Red). This is a prime example of how the pressure can sabotage a relationship before it even begins, and she wants to avoid that.
Also, with this new strategy, Aniston already seems to have a list of potential partners, even though it hasn’t led to any serious commitments yet.
Jennifer Aniston’s Love Life Has Been Influenced By Her Parents
Jennifer Aniston in Bruce Almighty (Credits: Universal Pictures)Aniston’s parents have passed away, but in an interview with The Wall Street Journal last year, the actress opened up about the impact their relationship had on her life. She witnessed their divorce at a young age and felt she didn’t have a solid role model to look up to.
In an exclusive interview with Interview Magazine in the past, Aniston shared more details about this:
I think that it comes from growing up in a household that was destabilized and felt unsafe, watching adults being unkind to each other, and witnessing certain things about human behavior that made me think: ‘I don’t want to do that. I don’t want to be that. I don’t want to experience this feeling I’m having in my body right now. I don’t want anyone else that I ever come in contact with ever to feel that.
After being married to Justin Theroux for three years, the actress is dealing with a problem that seems to come from her childhood, which has turned into a trauma when it comes to sharing her life with someone.
I didn’t like the idea of sacrificing who you were or what you needed, so I didn’t really know how to do that. So it was almost easier to just be kind of solo. So I didn’t have any real training in that give-and-take.
Aniston mentioned that she still struggles with communication, like being afraid to express her needs or desires to her partner. In the end, she is thankful to her parents for having this kind of experience, as it helped her become more resilient.
