Jennifer Aniston's mother has suffered a stroke.

Former Friends actress Jennifer Aniston – who was estranged from her mother, Nancy, for 10 years after she gave an interview about their relationship in 1996 – rushed to be at the 75-year-old’s hospital bedside after she suffered a stroke.

She was accompanied by her boyfriend Justin Theroux on the visit to a Los Angeles medical centre, where Nancy is reportedly unable to speak and is in a serious condition.

Jennifer previously confirmed she and her mother – who was not invited to her wedding to former husband Brad Pitt in 2000 – were back on speaking terms after ending the rift in 2008.

“It’s good. It’s okay. Things are now fine between us. All of that is over and we’re in touch with one another. We speak and it’s all over.” Jennifer says.
