When the East Coast relocation fell through, Aniston didn’t miss a beat, snapping up a $20.97 million A. Quincy Jones–designed Bel Air mansion later that same year. She once again partnered up with Stephen Shadley (with some help from Kathleen and Tommy Clements and Jane Hallworth) to reimagine the midcentury house to be less minimal and more comfortable and inviting. At the time, the 1965 property had just been renovated by architect Frederick Fisher, and its new look was a bit too cool and minimal for her taste. “Aesthetically, it was the furthest thing from what I wanted, but I immediately had the sense that it could work,” she told AD. “It’s hard to describe, but I felt a connection.” She and Theroux spent two years renovating the 8,500-square-foot property to make it more inviting, adding hand-painted wallpaper, silk rugs, and Abstract Expressionist paintings.
“I’m all about cozy. Sexy is important, but comfort is essential,” the Along Came Polly star told AD of her design philosophy for the house. “Every corner you turn, you have an experience. Everywhere you look, you get a vista. We worked very hard to get that flow right.” Aniston and Theroux lived in the home together after their marriage in 2015. They called it quits in 2018, but Aniston still owns the residence today.
Montecito ranch
The Morning Show star seemed to go a while without any real estate purchases, but in 2022, she paid $14.8 million for a four-bedroom, three-and-a-half bathroom Mediterranean-style farmhouse in Montecito, the beach enclave about two hours north of Los Angeles. Montecito has become a celebrity hot spot in recent years, attracting the likes of Ariana Grande, Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, Gwyneth Paltrow, and more big names—and the star power even extends into Aniston’s new residence. The seller of the home was none other than Oprah Winfrey. (The talk show icon still maintains a large ranch called Promised Land in the area, so she isn’t leaving the idyllic enclave.)
