[NEWS] Follow-Up on Jennifer After Her Mother's Untimely Death

Jennifer was spotted out for a stroll on the streets of New York City, New York appearing somber accompanied by her husband Justin, and the tragic news that followed may explain why. Just a few days ago the actress announced the death of her mother, Nancy Dow. The pair looked solemn as they walked through the city, with Aniston often clutching Theroux's arm.

Jennifer broke the tragic news exclusively to PEOPLE magazine on Wednesday, announcing that her 79-year old mother "passed away peacefully surrounded by family and friends after enduring a long illness." Dow reportedly suffered a severe stroke in 2011, followed by a second stroke a year later in 2012. "My mother fought a very long battle, with many ups and downs, and I am grateful for the happy times we shared," said Jennifer, "I'm pulling close to my husband and family and feel so supported by their love."
