LONDON: Jennifer Aniston and her rocker boyfriend John Mayer went through a rough patch in their relationship around the time her ex-beau Brad Pitt and his partner Angelina Jolie had twins.

The former Friends star turned 40 in February and she is not happy with the way Pitt’s family keeps expanding. And Aniston’s relationship with Mayer is said to be over but it seems the couple wants to make it happen somehow, thesun.co.uk reports.

A friend said, “They have hit a difficult patch but are still together. Things have been a bit rocky for them but he hasn’t dumped her. The birth of the Brangelina twins has got her down. It has made her question where she should be in life at her age.”

Friends claim that Aniston has been more demanding recently and Mayer wants more space. — Agencies
