Jennifer Aniston: Proposal Was ‘a Very Covert Operation’

Jennifer Aniston’s engagement ring might have caused quite a stir among fans, but no one is more enamored with the shiny new sparkler than the bride-to-be.

“I was impressed,” she tells PEOPLE of fiancé Justin Theroux‘s final choice. “I had no idea, and I had no idea what I wanted. He just knows what I like.”

Theroux “worked with the girls that I have worked with for years and years and years, so he kind of was picking the specialists’ brains,” Aniston shares. “He kept it within a very small circle of people. It was one of the sneakiest jobs I’ve ever seen, actually.”

And that left the actress, who is the new face and co-owner of Living Proof hair products, doubly impressed.

“It’s hard to pull one over on me,” she says, “where I’m not like, ‘Hmm, you’re acting really strange.’ It was … a very covert operation.” For more of our exclusive interview with Aniston, pick up the latest issue of PEOPLE, on newsstands now.

Covert operation?! Why is she using words above and beyond her IQ level? Aniston, go hide away never to be seen again already. We beg you!

Do you read Jen interviews? Read VF. Brad Pitt told Jen about his attraction to Angelina in the beginning of MMS shooting. The attraction was just another problem to an already very problematic marriage. As Brad, Jen, and all their friends and family have said, they had many and bigger problems and Angelina was not the reason of their split. Some marriages are not meant to be and have a very short life, like theirs. Brad relationship with Angelina is already longer than Brad and Jen’s marriage and relationship.
It’s been more than EIGHT years, It’s time for folks to move on.
Hopefully this time around Jen found the right man for her and her relationship with Justin will be for the long haul.

Jennifer Anniston’s ring doesn’t even look real. It doesn’t sparkle or shine. It looks like a big piece of glass. Maybe she wears that one in public and the real one in private.

Jen how long are you going to talk about this surprised engagement. You got the man and the ring, now do us the public a favor SHUT UP and get married, jeesh. I like Jen, but she acts as if she has never been engaged before. It seems that she is more in love with the fact of being engaged, than actually marrying the guy.

WE ALL LOVE
