The internet is buzzing after Jennifer Aniston and Pedro Pascal were seen having dinner together in Hollywood, sparking rumours that two of Hollywood's most eligible singletons are dating. The former Friends star Aniston, 56, and the Gladiator 2 actor Pascal, 49, were spotted dining at West Hollywood’s Tower Bar at the Sunset Tower hotel on 22 March.
The pair arrived separately after 8pm and enjoyed a ‘relaxed and animated’ three-hour meal before they were photographed leaving around 11.30pm – not before chatting together outside the restaurant.
While the rumours have yet to be confirmed, fans reacted positively to news of the potential pairing and are already rooting for a future romance between them... Jedro, anyone?
‘Jennifer Aniston and Pedro Pascal… yeah I see the vision so clearly,’ one online commenter said, with another adding, ‘Pedro Pascal and Jennifer Aniston the best story of 2025.’ A third remarked, ‘If by some weird cosmic miracle Pedro Pascal and Jennifer Aniston become romantically involved, my heart would be so, so happy’ and a fourth said, ‘This is the couple I never knew I wanted to happen!’
Their dinner ‘date’ came days, after Aniston's ex-husband Justin Theroux secretly married his 30-year-old girlfriend Nicole Brydon Bloom in Mexico, eight years after Aniston and Theroux's divorce.
Aniston has not been in a high-profile relationship since she split from Theroux in 2018 – her other famous exes include Brad Pitt, John Mayer and Vince Vaughn. Meanwhile, Pascal, the brother of activist Lux Pascal, keeps his personal life very private. He has been linked to actresses Maria Dizzia, Robin Tunney and his Game Of Thrones co-star Lena Headey.
