Aniston’s nonlegally binding marriage to screenwriter Justin Theroux ended in 2018. She was previously married to Brad Pitt from 2000 to 2005, and their divorce was one of Hollywood’s most talked about splits.
Aniston and Acho’s paths first crossed in 2020, when she reached out to him after he launched "Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Man." He created the series after George Floyd’s death in May 2020 to help explain the Black experience to white audiences.
The first episode was filmed solo, without a script or teleprompter and went viral.
Celebrities praised the video’s honesty and clarity. Aniston sent Acho a message, according to USA Today.
“Thank you for the clarity,” Aniston wrote.
Other NFL personalities who reacted to Aniston's hard launch included 49ers tight end George Kittle's wife, Claire, and Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield's wife, Emily. Ex-NFL defensive Aaron Donald's wife, Erica, and former NFL cornerback Richard Sherman's wife, Ashley Nicole Moss, also liked the post.

Emmanuel Acho's reaction made headlines after LeSean McCoy hinted at ex-NFL LB’s alleged fling with Joy Taylor
Former FS1 host Skip Bayless suggested on Oct. 17 that Travis Hunter’s slow rookie season was because he got baptized this year.
The comment prompted LeSean McCoy to share that he was baptized twice, including in 2018. Acho joked that McCoy did “a lot of sinning” since.
“Says the guy that did a lot of action at Fox, but we ain’t gonna talk about all that,” McCoy said, via "Speakeasy."
The back-and-forth didn't stop there.
“That was the biggest violation in this show’s history,” Acho said.
“It’s public,” McCoy said.
“I’m tired of talking to y’all," Acho said. "I’m done. And chat, I’m tired of y’all too. I’m tired of this show. That was low, 2-5.”
The ex-NFL linebacker ended the show early.
The lawsuit was filed in April by former FS1 hairstylist Noushin Faraji. Joy Taylor, who was part of it, was rumored to have had a past relationship with Acho.
Acho played football at the University of Texas from 2008 to 2011. He was picked by the Cleveland Browns in the sixth round in 2012. Acho later played for the Philadelphia Eagles and briefly with the New York Giants.
He retired from the NFL in 2015.
