Jennifer Aniston is ready to date again and has reportedly been meeting new men. Recently, she was spotted having dinner with Pedro Pascal—but what’s really behind their night out in Hollywood?
Jennifer Aniston, 56, and men! The actress’s love life always seems to attract great interest. Especially now, after she was seen dining with heartthrob Pedro Pascal, 49. However, their meeting wasn’t about the next big romance but rather pure friendship.
Jennifer Aniston: What’s Really Going on Between Her and Pedro Pascal
Fans hoping for a romance can breathe a sigh of relief—the two actors are just good friends, as an insider revealed to Page Six. “There is no romance between Jennifer Aniston and Pedro Pascal,” the source clarified. “They respect each other as artists, but it’s purely platonic, and they are not together.” So, any rumors can be put to rest—the two are simply close friends.
Dinner Together in Hollywood
The photos that sparked speculation showed the actors outside the Sunset Tower Hotel in West Hollywood. Both appeared in casual and relaxed outfits. Aniston opted for a black vest over a white shirt paired with jeans. The Narcos star wore a black leather jacket, jeans, and glasses. According to Daily Mail, the two arrived separately around 8 p.m. local time and also left separately. Insiders told Hello! that the atmosphere between them was “relaxed.” That certainly doesn’t sound like romance—especially since Aniston reportedly prefers to keep her dates secret and very private. A source told Life & Style that she prefers to meet people either at home or with friends.
Just a Business Dinner?
Their dinner might not have been purely for friendship but could have had professional reasons as well. Rumors suggest that The Mandalorian star might be making a guest appearance on The Morning Show. The series, starring Aniston, has been highly successful, and its fourth season was recently completed. At the Critics Choice Awards 2024, Reese Witherspoon, 49, and Jennifer Aniston jokingly asked Pascal if he could see himself joining the show. “Pitch me the idea right now,” the 49-year-old responded at the time. Could that casual remark have turned into something real? Filming reportedly wrapped in December 2024, so perhaps their dinner was a sign of upcoming collaboration.
A Special Meeting Following Her Ex-Husband’s Marriage
The photos surfaced at a significant time, as Aniston’s ex-husband, Justin Theroux, 53, recently remarried. The 32-year-old Nicole Brydon Bloom and the actor reportedly tied the knot in secret after being spotted kissing for the first time in August 2023. Since her divorce from Theroux in 2018, Aniston’s love life has remained relatively quiet. Similarly, Pedro Pascal’s romantic life remains a mystery, as little is known about his relationships.
