Jennifer Aniston and Pedro Pascal have sparked dating rumors after being spotted together in Los Angeles over the weekend. The Friends star, 56, and the Gladiator 2 actor, 49, were seen enjoying a three-hour dinner at the exclusive Tower Bar inside the Sunset Tower Hotel in West Hollywood on Saturday night. Their outing has led to speculation about a possible romance, but is there more to the story?
A Star-Studded Dinner Date
Aniston and Pascal arrived separately at the restaurant just after 8 PM and reportedly engaged in lively conversation throughout the night. As they left around 11:30 PM, they were seen chatting outside the valet area before heading off separately. Though there were no overt signs of romance, their cozy dinner has fueled curiosity about their relationship.
The Emmy-winning actress kept it casual yet stylish in blue jeans, a white t-shirt, and a black vest, finishing off her look with high-heeled boots. Meanwhile, the Narcos and The Last of Us star sported a black leather biker jacket, jeans, and suede boots, exuding his signature rugged charm. Pedro, known for his ever-evolving facial hair, also rocked a mustache and a pair of eyeglasses for the evening.
Just Friends or Something More?
The dinner comes at an interesting time for Aniston, who was reportedly caught off guard by the news that her ex-husband, Justin Theroux, 53, recently married his 30-year-old girlfriend, Nicole Brydon Bloom. Some fans have speculated that her night out with Pascal could be an effort to move on or simply enjoy the company of an industry friend.
Pascal, on the other hand, has been largely private about his love life. The actor, who has been linked to various co-stars over the years, has never confirmed any serious relationships publicly. Could his dinner with Aniston signal a budding romance, or was it just a friendly get-together?
A Professional Connection?
Aside from potential romantic sparks, there’s also speculation that the dinner may have had a business angle. Recently, Aniston and her The Morning Show co-star Reese Witherspoon publicly invited Pascal to join their hit Apple TV+ series. During a red-carpet interview at the Critics Choice Awards, Aniston asked, “Do you want to be on it?” Witherspoon chimed in, hinting they had a role in mind for him. Pascal playfully responded, “Pitch it to me now.”
With production for Season 4 of The Morning Show having wrapped in December 2024, it’s possible that Aniston and Pascal’s meeting involved discussions about a future project. Given their undeniable on-screen charisma, seeing the two share the screen would certainly be a treat for fans.
What’s Next for Jennifer and Pedro?
While there’s no official confirmation of a romance, the dinner date has certainly set tongues wagging. Aniston has largely remained single since her divorce from Theroux, despite being the subject of various dating rumors over the years. Meanwhile, Pascal continues to balance his growing Hollywood career, with upcoming projects including Gladiator 2 and The Last of Us Season 2.
As for their recent outing, only time will tell whether this was a friendly catch-up, a business meeting, or the start of something more. For now, fans will have to keep guessing as neither Aniston nor Pascal has commented on the nature of their relationship.
One thing is for sure—whether they’re friends or something more, this Hollywood duo has everyone talking.
