Jennifer Aniston talks about her love life in a very rare and candid interview about her boyfriend, singer John Mayer.

Aniston has remained very protective of her romantic life since the devastating divorce from Brad Pitt in 2005.

After a whirlwind romance, and then very abrupt breakup, John and Jennifer got back together after reevaluating their relationship. They decided to continue forward.

Now with a more solid bond and stronger, Aniston is talking about Mayer. Not just talking – more like gushing.

“He’s a rare one. He is extraordinary and it is wonderful to watch him. The way his brain works and the way he thinks thoughts, it’s beautiful. It’s an amazing thing to watch a musician think.

“I don’t know many musicians but when his guitar is on him it’s just like a channel. It’s something I’ve never ever seen before.”

As for the public’s interest in her life with former husband Brad Pitt, Jen doesn’t understand why people are still so fascinated with what once was.

“I’m baffled by it and it makes no sense to me,” she says.

“It’s my history and my memory. I used to really take things personally. It took me some time to figure this out but if you can be truthful and honest with who you are, then you have a much easier time walking through life.”

When asked about children Jennifer says that is an absolute in her future.

“I want to have children. That’s my plan.”
