Aniston denies split reports

A representative for Jennifer Aniston has shut down speculation suggesting the actress has split from fiance Justin Theroux after she was photographed without her engagement ring.

Theroux proposed to the former Friends star in 2012, but with no set wedding date, rumours have been rife amid claims they have quietly called off the engagement and parted ways.

The split reports surfaced again this week when Aniston was snapped lunching in Brentwood, California on Tuesday without her engagement ring - but her publicist has since silenced the break-up gossip, telling GossipCop.com, "Everyone should calm down - the ring was being cleaned and is back on her hand."
