Aniston still loves Pitt, denies split over kids

NEW YORK - Actress Jennifer Aniston still loves estranged husband Brad Pitt and denies gossip column speculation that the pair split because she did not want to have children, according to a magazine interview.

"I love Brad; I really love him. I will love him for the rest of my life," Aniston told Vanity Fair in an interview in the magazine's September issue.

Tabloid speculation has swirled for months that Pitt, 41, the star of "Ocean's Eleven" and "Troy," and Angelina Jolie, 30, have been romantically involved since filming "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" last year. In May, Jolie denied those rumors.

Much of the tabloid coverage suggested that Aniston, 36, and Pitt broke up over disputes about starting a family.

"I've never in my life said I didn't want to have children," she said of those reports.

The actress best known as "Rachel" from the television sitcom "Friends" said she was upset over the pictures of Pitt and Jolie, which have dominated tabloids for months. "I would be a robot if I said I didn't feel moments of anger, of hurt, of embarrassment," she said.

Aniston filed for divorce in March from Pitt after separating earlier in the year. But Aniston said she has not lost faith in the notion of marriage.

"In five years I would hope to be married and have a kid. I still believe in marriage 100 per cent," Aniston said.
