Jennifer Aniston recently said that while she was open to romance, she didn’t have time for dating apps like OK Cupid.
Fair dues, she’s a busy lady.
But it seems like the 50-year-old has found time in her schedule, as reports claim Jen is dating again with a little help from her friends Courteney Cox and Lisa Kudrow.
The Friends stars have reportedly given Jennifer – best known for playing Rachel Green on the sitcom – the encouragement she needed to ‘get out there’, and she’s now enjoying a few dates.
A source told Entertainment Tonight: ‘The support she has had from women in her life has truly helped her move on and upward and, with lots of encouragement from friends, she finally has started dating.
‘Lisa and Courteney and Jen are really close and have encouraged her to date and get out there.’
But while Jennifer is on the look out for a new man in her life, she is still close to her exes – including ex-husband Brad Pitt.
The source added that Jennifer and Brad – who were married from 2000 until 2005 until Brad struck up a relationship with Angelina Jolie –
‘occasionally’ talk after clearing any bad blood from their divorce.
They said: ‘She continues to stay in touch with Brad and they occasionally talk. They both have come so far.’
Following her marriage to Brad, 55, Jennifer began dating Justin Theroux in 2011, and they tied the knot in 2015. However, Jen and the 47-year-old actor parted ways two years later.
But Jen said that despite her two divorces, she is still a romantic at heart.
Speaking to Harper’s Bazaar, the Murder Mystery actress said: ‘Dating has not been one of my first priorities. I feel like whatever [romance] looks like, it will present itself, and it’s not about seeking it out, you know? When it comes knocking, it’s going to be welcomed.
‘I’m not like, “No, I’m done with that. That’s never going to happen again”.’
While Jen might be back on the dating scene, she enjoyed some solo time out shopping this week in West Hollywood.
The actress looked chic and casual in a white linen jumpsuit, sandals and a straw hat as she left the L’Agence store chatting on her mobile.
