The stars’ dinner came just days after Aniston’s ex-husband, Leftovers actor Justin Theroux, whom she divorced in 2018, reportedly walked down the aisle with actress Nicole Brydon Bloom, 30, in Tulum, Mexico.
Aniston and Pascal last publicly made a splash with fans — and each other — when they crossed paths on the red carpet at the Critics Choice Awards in January 2024.
During the brief encounter — which also included Aniston’s Morning Show costar, Reese Witherspoon — Witherspoon hinted that there might be a great part for Pascal on their hit Apple TV+ show.
When a reporter asked if the character Pascal could potentially play on the Morning Show would be romantically involved with anybody, Aniston flirtatiously responded: “All of us.”
“I sleep with everyone on the show,” Pascal joked, before insisting, “I’m in. All right, I’ll be waiting to hear from my agents.”
In a viral clip of the playful exchange that later made the rounds on social media, the Gladiator II actor grabs Aniston’s hand, and she clasps his with both of hers. Flashing a coy smile at the camera, she mouths, “Oh my God,” before looking up and singing in a high-pitched voice.
Aniston reportedly has been single since she and Theroux ended their three-year marriage in 2018.The Friends alum was previously married to Brad Pitt from 2000 to 2005.
Pascal was last linked to his Game of Thrones costar Lena Headley in 2014, though neither have confirmed the rumors.
