      Not long after Valentine's Day, one of America's best-known couples is splitsville.

      Actor Jennifer Aniston and her somewhat less famous husband, actor and film producer Justin Theroux, were married for two-and-a-half years and had been together since 2011.

      Here's their public statement, which says the decision was "lovingly made":

      "In an effort to reduce any further speculation, we have decided to announce our separation

      "This decision was mutual and lovingly made at the end of last year. We are two best friends who have decided to part ways as a couple, but look forward to continuing our cherished friendship.

      "Normally we would do this privately, but given that the gossip industry cannot resist an opportunity to speculate and invent, we wanted to convey the truth directly.

      "Whatever else is printed about us that is not directly from us, is someone else’s fictional narrative. Above all, we are determined to maintain the deep respect and love that we have for one another."
