In an interview with the New York Times he said: "The good news is that was probably the most - I m choosing my words really carefully - it was kind of the most gentle separation in that there was no animosity."
Following their 2017 split after being married for over two years the 49-year-old actor said that although the two are on good terms "navigating the inevitable perception of it is the exhausting part".
"It was heartbreaking Only in the sense that the friendship would not be the same as far as just the day to day. But the friendship is shifting and changing " he added.
Theroux and Aniston are not currently linked to anyone although the "Leftovers" star has been spotted with various women including "Parks and Rec" star Aubrey Plaza since their split.
