Though The Leftovers actor, 53, recently became engaged to actress Nicole Brydon Bloom, he admitted he still cares for his former spouse.

"She is still very dear to me so, of course, yeah, I feel protective. But she batted back criticism, as well she should," he explained in an interview after Aniston denounced J.D. Vance's comments about "childless cat ladies" not being important to society.

The Murder Mystery actress bashed Vance, 40, for his words via social media in July.

"I truly cannot believe this is coming from a potential VP of the United States. All I can say is… Mr. Vance, I pray that your daughter is fortunate enough to bear children one day," she wrote. "I hope she will not need to turn to IVF as a second option. Because you are trying to take that away from her, too."

As OK! reported, Aniston revealed in 2022 that despite public speculation, she did try to have a baby but struggled with infertility.

The actress admitted in an interview that she was hurt by the public accusations that she didn't want a child because she was "selfish" and "just cared about my career."

"And God forbid a woman is successful and doesn't have a child. And the reason my husband left me, why we broke up and ended our marriage, was because I wouldn't give him a kid. It was absolute lies," she insisted. "I don't have anything to hide at this point."

TMZ reported on the swatting incident.
