Jennifer Aniston is sparking romance rumors after being spotted on what appeared to be an intimate dinner date just days after her ex-husband Justin Theroux tied the knot in Mexico. But who was the mystery man turning heads alongside the Friends icon? None other than The Last of Us star Pedro Pascal.

According to Page Six, Aniston and her A-list guest spent three hours (!!!) dining together at West Hollywood’s ultra-exclusive Tower Bar. The duo was later photographed leaving the Sunset Tower Hotel together on Saturday night, chatting outside the valet area. Aniston, 56, looked stylish in a leather vest over a white T-shirt with cuffed black pants and boots, while Pascal, 49, kept it cool in a leather jacket, jeans, and loafers.
When asked about the nature of their relationship, representatives for both stars have reportedly kept quiet—which, let’s be honest, only makes us more curious about what might be happening between them. Social media has been quick to approve, with one X user writing, “I’M HERE FOR THIS.”
This isn’t even their first noteworthy interaction. Fans have dug up footage from the Critics Choice Awards red carpet earlier this year that suddenly carries new meaning. In the clip, Pascal reaches for Aniston’s hand, which she clutches in both of hers while looking at the camera and mouthing, “Oh, my God.” Same, Jen, same.
During that same encounter, Reese Witherspoon mentioned a “really good part” for Pascal on The Morning Show. Pascal was immediately game, saying, “I’m in. I’ll be waiting to hear from my agents.” When a reporter suggested he could play a love interest, Pascal joked this meant he would “sleep with everyone on the show,” to which Aniston responded, “It’s kind of real life.” Interesting choice of words, Jen.
Pascal has kept his dating life relatively private, though he’s been linked to actresses Maria Dizzia, Lena Headey, and Robin Tunney over the years. Aniston’s romantic history is more public, with marriages to Brad Pitt in 2000 and Justin Theroux in 2015. Since her 2018 divorce from Theroux, she’s kept her love life under wraps.
The timing raises eyebrows, as Theroux just married actress Nicole Brydon Bloom in Mexico this month, following their August 2024 engagement after dating for over a year.
Only time will tell if this was a professional meetup or a budding romance, but it’s clear fans are invested in seeing where things go between these two beloved stars.
