Meanwhile, the couple recently took a trip to Paris with the producer taking to his Instagram page to share a picture from their visit to the Louvre. Justin captioned the photo: "In Louvre. #LouvreVuitton #paris #jeffkoons," accompanied by an artist palette. Jennifer and Justin married in August 2015 in a private ceremony in Los Angeles after four years of dating.

That's where the quality is," she told Variety. The Horrible Bosses actress added that there is no reason for her to not work again in TV as all of the great roles are happening there, "everything you're seeing on television is fantastic".
