celebrating women
It may be the month to celebrate love, but these famous women don’t need a relationship to feel complete
Jennifer Aniston
She’s a hugely successful actor with a career to be proud of, but Jennifer Aniston, 54, still feels that she gets shamed for being single. Jen’s divorce from Brad Pitt in 2005 was one of the biggest showbiz stories of the time. She found love again with Justin Theroux and the pair married in 2015, but sadly divorced two years later. Speaking about her frustration with the fascination over her personal life, Jen has said, ‘My marital status has been shamed; my divorce status was shamed; my lack of a mate had been shamed. I just thought, “I have worked too hard in this life and this career to be whittled down to a sad, childless human.”’
Sofía Vergara
Actor Sofía, 51, announced her shock split from husband of seven years, Joe Manganiello, in July 2023, and has been embracing single life since.

Anita Rani
After 14 years of marriage, Anita Rani and her husband, Bhupi Rehal, decided to separate, as their clashing work schedules caused them to ‘drift apart.’ While it’s been a tough year for Anita, 46, she has a great group of girlfriends around her. She’s previously said, ’Your female relationships are incredible the older you get. I’m much happier sitting around a table with a load of girlfriends than anything else.’ Well said.
Trinny Woodall
In March last year she announced her split from businessman Charles Saatchi, following a decade-long romance, but fashion guru Trinny, 59, is content being single. The star, who tragically lost her ex-husband Johnny Elichaoff to suicide in 2014, has said, ‘I think when you have something that’s very powerful and s
