Jennifer Aniston’s ‘Whole Life Revolves’ Around Looking Good, Committed to ‘Feeling Her Best’

During a recent interview with Glamour magazine to promote the upcoming fourth season of her hit Apple TV+ series The Morning Show, 56-year-old Jennifer Aniston offered some insight into her ageless appearance. “I think as far as aging gracefully, I have an eternal fountain of optimism and positivity,” the Friends alum told the mag before getting into the nitty-gritty: “I’m not going to say I don’t get the facials and the lasers and all that good stuff. I mean, I’m maintained. I’m not going to just go down and let these gray hairs take over.”

It wasn’t the first time the actress has opened up about her extensive wellness regime, which also entails five-day-a-week workouts, a strict diet, peptide injections and such exotic treatments as salmon-sperm facials. For the Emmy winner, looking good is a full-time job. “Her whole life revolves around it,” a source tells Star. “Some might call it obsession, but working out, eating right and practicing her wellness rituals make up her daily regimen.”

Spa treatments, exercise and healthy eating are only half the story. “Jen admits to some of the less invasive cosmetic procedures like lasers — she clearly doesn’t want people to think she’s following the Hollywood surgery trend,” says the source. “But word is she gets a lot more done than she’s willing to admit.” It’s important to Jen that she maintains the effortlessly cool, girl-next-door vibe she solidified in the mid-90s and early 2000s. “She’s good at promoting herself as a natural beauty who doesn’t need a lot of makeup or surgery to look good.”

Fact vs. Fiction

There is one nip/tuck that the New York native is willing to cop to. In 2007, Jen admitted that she’d undergone rhinoplasty but insisted the nose job was simply to repair a deviated septum (she told People that every other part of her body is “still mine, all of it”). The source says it’s an open secret Jen went under the knife for cosmetic reasons. “There’s a lot of eye-rolling when Jen says she got a nose job to fix a deviated septum,” adds the source. “It may have corrected a breathing problem, but her nose looks a lot slimmer, too.”

She has also been vocal about not being a fan of widely used injectables such as Botox. “People think that I do a lot of [Botox] injections, but I don’t,” she told Yahoo Beauty in 2015. “I’m not saying that I haven’t tried it, but I see how it’s a slippery slope. All that cosmetic stuff looks ridiculous on me.” (Her Friends costar Courteney Cox can offer a cautionary tale, once saying of fillers, “You don’t realize that you look a little off.”)

Yet speculation peaked in March 2024, when she and celeb bestie Sandra Bullock were spotted leaving a luxury plastic surgery retreat in Connecticut, prompting more rumors that Jen’s natural good looks are surgically enhanced, according to Daily Mail. (The fancy spa offers upper and lower face and neck lifts, as well as fillers and fat injections.)

She’ll never tell. While the Lolavie haircare founder is happy to share parts of her wellness journey and plug products she believes in — like the Pvolve fitness brand she partnered with in 2023 — “that’s as far as she goes,” says the source. “Anything else she does, she keeps close to the chest. Her feeling is, it’s nobody’s business.”

Consumed By Looks

Still, she admits her life revolves around wellness rituals. In 2023, she told The Wall Street Journal she’d tried a salmon-sperm facial and that she believes peptide injections are “the future” of anti-aging. And in January, she told Today she works out four to five days a week and eats a “boring” diet that emphasizes protein, veggies, salads and “tons” of water. (She does allow for a weekly cheat day for Mexican or pizza.) During an August interview with Vanity Fair, Jen said she and noted wellness guru Gwyneth Paltrow often share their secrets with one another. “We’re always swapping advice — ‘What are you doing for this? What are you doing for that? Do you have a new doctor for that?’ ”

With a new man at her side — she’s been linked to hunky author and hypnotherapist Jim Curtis since July — she’s in total high-maintenance mode. “She’s up on all the new and improved innovations,” says the source. “Jen is extremely health-conscious,” adds the source, “and she’s committed to looking and feeling her best.”
