Jennifer Aniston and Pedro Pascal Spotted Together in West Hollywood
Jennifer Aniston surprised fans with a cameo in the Season 2 premiere of The Last of Us.
Rumors suggest that there may be a romantic development between Jennifer Aniston and Pedro Pascal. According to a report from Radar Online, the two actors are reportedly “hooking up for real.” However, sources indicate that the relationship is casual with both stars open to seeing other people. “They’re trying to keep things low-key since neither of them wants the spotlight on their private lives. The word is they’ve been more than just friends for a while,” a source revealed.
The same source added that the pair had managed to keep their relationship discreet. “Only a small number of people knew about their friendship, let alone their more intimate connection. Now that it’s out, they’re both hoping it will blow over without gaining further attention,” the insider commented.
These rumors gained traction after the two were seen together outside the Tower Bar at the Sunset Tower Hotel in West Hollywood, where they appeared to be enjoying a dinner date on March 22. They were photographed chatting near the valet area after spending roughly three hours inside the venue.
Just two days later, Pedro attended the season premiere of The Last of Us. When asked about Jennifer, he noted, “Oh, Jennifer and I are very good friends. I had a fun martini dinner with her on Saturday.” Addressing the speculation surrounding their dinner, he added humorously, “That’s her starlight. I’m just basking in it.”
Jennifer also acknowledged Pedro with a heartfelt tribute on Instagram for his 50th birthday on April 2. She shared a cartoon that humorously conveyed public sentiment about Pascal, stating, “It’s not strange at all – lately, a lot of people are reporting that their faith in humanity is riding entirely on whether or not Pedro Pascal is as nice as he seems.” She concluded with, “Can confirm – as nice as he seems. Happy birthday, PP!”
To further stir excitement, Jennifer made a surprise appearance in The Last of Us, which aired on April 13. In a memorable scene, Ellie, portrayed by Bella Ramsey, is seen flipping through a 2003 issue of People magazine featuring Jennifer on the cover, with the headline reading, “Best & Worst Dressed.” Jennifer later shared this moment on her Instagram Stories, captioning it, “Of all things to survive the apocalypse.”
Despite the buzzing rumors, a source informed Page Six that the relationship between Aniston and Pascal remains platonic. “They have great respect for each other as artists, but it’s strictly friendship and they’re not dating,” the source clarified. Another insider relayed to People that Jennifer appreciates Pascal’s energy and is eager to collaborate with him professionally.
Nevertheless, Radar Online maintains that Aniston and Pascal are intentionally keeping things casual. A source mentioned, “If they were leaning towards a serious relationship, it would be a different situation. But that’s not where they are right now.”
The insider further elaborated, “They enjoy each other’s company. Pedro brings a bright energy, and Jennifer is one of the kindest individuals one could meet. In many aspects, they complement each other well, but they are also at different places in their lives. They’ve both acknowledged that enjoying each other’s presence without any pressure for commitment is the best course of action. Why complicate things?”
Pedro Pascal has largely kept his romantic life under wraps, previously linked to actresses such as Maria Dizzia, Lena Headey, and Robin Tunney. In contrast, Jennifer has been married twice, first to Brad Pitt in 2000 and later to Justin Theroux in 2015.
