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.

private is when you tell the world that you can’t wait to go to bed

I wish Jen all the luck. Looks like she is finally and truly happy.

The Jen-Brad- Agelina tale was a rehashing of the Liz- Eddie- Debbi saga a generation before. Eddie and Debby’s marriage was foundering and her star power was stalling. So the industry knew the marriage was doomed and that he was taking up with Liz, who’s star power had and would uphold against alost any scandal. So, they used the affair to keep Debby’s career going and ignite curiosity for the other two. The same goes with this. Even getting engaged, makes people rehash the Brangelina betrayel of jennifer. If you think of it her movies, have been driven by the fumes of her failed marriage to Brad. Who, by the way, has been with Angelina for 7 years and has 6 children with her.
Jennifer seems to have dated 7 different men in that same time frame. I am neither a Brad Pitt or Jennifer Aniston fan.

To give her a ring like that reveals a lot about them. The ring is big and gaudy and I’m sure is designed to impress of wealth or excess or to send a message to someone. I feell kind of bad for the woman he lived with for so many years before he met Jennifer. A lesson to women who live with men with no commitment- don’t do it! You are worth more than that!

Aniston woman is shallow. No wonder Brad Pitt dumped her. When interviewed, she can only answer questions about her hair, make up and work-out. Her brain is in her butt!

Meow..the cats are out tonight. No one has a bad thing to say about Aniston, so why are so many of you on a hate rant? Sheesh, you’d think you actually know her (riiiiiiiight…..) and she took your sixth grade boyfriend away from you. I do think she needs to have her ring cleaned…:)

Kim kay should take a page out of Jen’s page.

This woman is superficial….just wants to make herself known for her boring hairdo, bragging about her so many boyfriends who in a way left her just to show the world she is wanted. Actually she has been lost since Brad and dating every man she meets, yes…desperately looking for another Pitt. No, no there is only one of his kind and no one can can be like him. Ms Aniston, you are getting older, it is never too late to show the world that you care not only focused on how your boring hair look like but do something worthy in this world….then you shall be remembered!

What you gone do when a buntch of paranoia runing around every sit claiming Jen,Justin,directors and producers of a movies are stalking poor branglina.

Talk about shallow. “the world turn with me. The earth is round .We move around it blah balh .”

Danielle on

JENNIFER , YOU SHOULD NOT be calling attention to your hands at this point in your life……they showed your age…..a normal size more credible diamond ring would it be sufficient.and crying on Chelsey Handler was a surge on your hormones, that’s called ….hot flashes.
