Jennifer Aniston and hunk Pedro Pascal had tongues wagging last week when they were seen on a romantic dinner date.

The 56-year-old actress from Friends has contributed to the speculation by posting a playful public message in honor of The Last Of Us actor on his 50th birthday.

The A-lister took to her Instagram Story to share a comic from the New Yorker of a man at his therapist’s office.

The counselor was shown reassuring his client, stating, ‘It’s actually quite common – these days, many individuals are expressing that their belief in humanity hinges entirely on whether Pedro Pascal is genuinely as kind as he appears.’

Jennifer sweetly captioned the image to her 44.5million followers: ‘Can confirm – as nice as he seems. [woman raising hand emoji]

‘Happy birthday PP! [party and red balloon emojis]’

The dinner date comes after speculation that Pedro might appear on Aniston’s TV series, The Morning Show. 

During the Critics Choice Awards red carpet, Aniston and her co-star, Reese Witherspoon, invited him to join the hit Apple TV+ show for season 4. 

The invitation came as he joined their interview with KTLA anchors Sam Rubin and Jessica Holmes.

‘Do you want to be on it?’ asked Aniston.

Witherspoon said, ‘Wait, we actually do have a really good part for him.’

Pascal replied, ‘Pitch it to me now.’

When questioned if the part involved ‘anything romantic with anybody’ Aniston responded ‘All of us.’

‘I sleep with everyone on the show,’ Pedro joked. ‘I’m in. All right, I’ll be waiting to hear from my agents.’

Production on the fourth season of The Morning Show wrapped in early December 2024.

Her outing comes days after it was revealed that her ex-husband Justin has remarried, eight years after their divorce.

The actress was reportedly taken by surprise by the marriage and sent a message to him after news broke. 

The Running Point star secretly tied the knot with actress Nicole during an intimate beach ceremony in Tulum, Mexico.

The couple, who were first romantically linked in February 2023, looked happy in love as they shared their first moments as newlyweds together in front of their loved ones.

Theroux, known for his roles in Mulholland Drive and HBO’s The Leftovers, was previously wed to Aniston from 2015 to 2017.

The two have remained on good terms. Most recently, Justin said his former wife was ‘still very dear to me’ in a September 2024 interview with The Times. 

Prior to Theroux, she was married to Pitt, 61, from 2000 to 2005.

Whilst Justin is once again throwing himself into married life, Jennifer hasn’t been publicly linked to anyone since the divorce.

In October, she spoke out to deny claims that she had an affair with former President Barack Obama, branding the rumor ‘absolutely untrue.’
