In a recent interview with Harper’s Bazaar magazine for its November issue, the Friends The star opened up about the terrible divorce of her parents, John Aniston and Nancy Dow, which left her alone.

For those who don’t know, Jennifer was only nine years old when her parents separated.

Additionally, Jennifer also talked about her parents’ personalities, that her mom and dad were “ridiculously funny people” and that she was “around a lot of laughs.”
