Jennifer Aniston has opened up about her fiance Justin Theroux, gushing about their relationship - and that giant rock on her finger!

The former 'Friends star recalled the first time she met the 43-year-old actor while visiting pal Ben Stiller on the set of the 2008 film Tropic Thunder in Hawaii.

"He was wearing black, black, black and I started to sweat just looking at him," the 46-year-old told People magazine of their first encounter.

While the pair met in 2008, they didn't start dating until 2011, after costarring on the movie Wanderlust and Justin proposed a year later in August 2012.

Speaking about her engagement ring, estimated to be around 8 carats, she said: "I just think it's so beautiful. I love it because he picked it, put it into a setting and it's simple."
