According to sources, Jen forgave her father for walking out on his family a long time ago. But their relationship has had its ups and downs. An insider, according to the Daily Mail, added "Jennifer didn't speak to him for ages. But since the coronavirus crisis she has been on the phone almost every day. And not just brief conversations. It's like she has realized life is very short and she wants her relationship with John to be the best it can be. He's thrilled that they have reconciled." Aniston, when speaking to Allure, stated "I think my mom’s divorce really screwed her up.” Years of reflection later, she is now able to see some of the limitations someone from her mother's generation had to go through. She further added “Back in that generation it wasn’t like, Go to therapy, talk to somebody. Why don't you start microdosing? You're going through life and picking up your child with tears on your face and you don't have any help.” In the end, however, she revealed that she had found within herself the quality of forgiveness. "I forgave my mom. I forgave my father. I've forgiven my family," said the actor
John rose to fame with the character of Victor Kiriakis on 'Days of Our Lives,' which he started performing in July 1985. He was nominated for a Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series in 2017 for the role, and this year he won the Daytime Emmy Lifetime Achievement Award. He has son Alexander with his second wife Sherry Rooney and daughter Jennifer with his ex-wife Nancy Dow, who died in 2016. The 'We’re the Millers' star was just 10 years old when John left Nancy in 1979 after 11 years of marriage.
