While Theroux reportedly stumbled upon the Post-its two years ago, it is said to have caused a strain in their relationship because they were “sweet” notes. They are said to have had short messages like “You looked nice tonight” and “Miss you already.”

“Justin wasn’t thrilled,” an insider said. “Justin had moments of insecurity like that.”

Pitt and Aniston's split made even bigger headlines as it was reported he left Aniston for his Mr. and Mrs. Smith co-star Angelina Jolie. Those rumors served to be true when Pitt and Aniston announced their divorce in 2005.
