There was a moment of anticipation when Jennifer Aniston seemed to be on the brink of a new romance, having recently given her exes her blessing.
However, it has been confirmed that not only did Cupid not visit Jennifer Aniston, but the famous man she possibly had her heart set on calmly pulled her down from cloud nine.
This week, a source close to the Friends actress revealed through the Daily Mail that she was happy for her ex-husbands, Brad Pitt and Justin Theroux, who are happy and thriving in their new romances.
According to a source close to the Friends actress, Aniston was eager to find Mr. Right after two failed marriages. Soon after, the Mail shared some splendid news that Aniston was dating Pedro Pascal.
The dating reports were accompanied by sweet and charming pictures taken at Tower Bar at the Sunset Tower Hotel in West Hollywood after a three-hour dinner.
In these pictures, Aniston and Pascal were seen laughing, sharing stories, and enjoying each other’s company, which fueled the dating rumors.
The Last of Us actor and the Mean Boss actress were seen chatting up a storm and looking cozy. Sources told the site that they were an item.
However, Pedro Pascal quickly squashed the dating whispers in an interview with Entertainment Tonight, claiming that they are just friends and that the relationship is platonic. He insisted it was not a romantic dinner but a group of close friends grabbing a bite together.
He stated: “Jennifer and I are very good friends. I got to have dinner [with her] on Saturday, and it was a fun martini dinner.”
When asked about his dinner with Aniston and the headlines it generated, Pedro Pascal credited the public interest in them to “Aniston’s star power as one of Hollywood’s most beloved stars.”
He confessed: “That’s her starlight. I’m just basking in it!” He concluded by saying we “were joined by mutual friends.”
A source told Page Six: “There is no romance going on between Jennifer Aniston and Pedro Pascal. They are not dating; they just respect each other as artists; their relationship is strictly platonic.”
An insider, who spoke to TMZ, said Aniston and Pascal “are just friends.” Many were left disheartened by the news because they believed Aniston might have had her heart set on something romantic with Pedro Pascal, who had brutally friend-zoned her.
However, Aniston and Pascal may have an on-screen romance, as there is high speculation that he might appear on her hit TV series, The Morning Show. This possibility should give their fans something to look forward to.
