Despite their split, Jen only had nice things to say about her ex in a February 2016 interview with Vanity Fair. “I didn’t marry the big fat movie star; I married him. And I would go back and remake that decision,” she shared.

“I ran down the beach to him, and I would again. You can’t have these three babies and so much of what we had. He’s the love of my life. What am I going to do about that? He’s the most brilliant person in any room, the most charismatic, the most generous. He’s just a complicated guy. I always say, ‘When his sun shines on you, you feel it.’ But when the sun is shining elsewhere, it’s cold. He can cast quite a shadow.”
