Us Weekly: Jennifer Aniston is being ‘wooed’ by a ‘tech titan’ & an ‘industry creative’

us weekly aniston

We still don’t know if Justin Theroux and Jennifer Aniston were legally married, by the way. It’s been months now, and we haven’t heard one peep about Aniston and Theroux getting divorce lawyers or actually filing for divorce or anything. I guess we’re not supposed to talk about it, but good God is that weird. Anyway, Justin has been living it up for months, and I still believe he’s currently seeing Emma Stone. Now Jennifer wants you to know that she’s dating too.

Jennifer Aniston wasn’t about to let a little rain get her down. While filming the new Netflix movie Murder Mystery in Montreal on June 27, not even a constant downpour could dampen her mood. “She was very upbeat when they started shooting,” says a set source in the new issue of Us Weekly. “In fact, Jen seems happy every time she’s on the set.” Her merry attitude has been infectious, notes the source, keeping her costars, including Adam Sandler, and the crew in high spirits: “The vibe here is great.”

These days, the Friends alum, 49, has every reason to smile. Nearly five months after she and Justin Theroux announced their plans to call it quits on their two-and-a half-year marriage, Aniston is dating again — and, insiders reveal, she’s being wooed by two men! “It’s very hush-hush,” says a confidant, adding that neither is an actor. The first contender, says another source, is a tech titan introduced to Aniston by a close friend. “He recently split from his wife and is trying to win over Jen,” confides the source.

The second, says another confidant, “is an industry creative she met when they started working on a project together several months ago.” The fact that neither is Aniston’s usual type only adds to the allure for the actress — and her tight-knit circle of girlfriends. “Jen’s group is excited that she’s dating again,” says an Aniston insider. “They can hardly keep it a secret when they’re so happy to see Jen moving on.”

Though Aniston is in a positive headspace, she’s still stepping into the dating pool with caution.

“As strong as Jen is, she tends to be very wary of new people,” says the friend. “It normally takes a while for her to open up and trust someone.”

[From Us Weekly]

Us Weekly has some sh-t in there about how hard it is for her to trust men because Evil Brad Pitt did a number on her, because I guess Justin Theroux living in New York and banging edgy artists during their faux-marriage wasn’t as traumatic as Brad Pitt being with Angelina. Now, all that being said, I do think Jennifer is “wary” of new people. She likes routine, she likes doing the same things and hanging out with the same people. I’m glad that – if this Us Weekly story is true – she’s getting out of the mind-set of “I have to date someone famous.” That whole thing is tired, and I’ve always wanted her to just date some normal guy who will enjoy the same routines that she enjoys. An “industry creative” sounds like a screenwriter… who? And “tech titan”? Please don’t let it be Elon Musk.

    I don’t think JustEdge and Miss Margarita were legally married. Hope her new boyfriend’s rollout is less eye-roll worthy than her ex-husband’s (the one she legally married).

    • Cleo2 says:

      Lol @Kate I’m still beyond floored that her not ever being married to Theroux (possibly) is not being looked into. This one gets a pass on just about everything from her base. She’s the Donald Trump of actresses. She could stand in the middle of 5th avenue and shoo– ah nevermind. Lol

      One thing’s apparent, you can certainly see how Brad Pitt is back in the same CAA fold as Aniston. Just like the old days when they shared the same dermatologist, got matching highlights and fretted together over the latest tabloid slam and unflattering Jen pic on the cover.

      In a way it’s like they ARE back together. Their PR hacks are doing the exact same faux roll out of possible erudite mates, and of course positioning both Jen and Brad as victim’s of you know who. That was heretofore a Jen specialty (‘Brad who?!’ I just mentioned this was her PRs go to technique last week! Lol). Oh the pain that they’ve both endured! Lol

      Poor Justin doesn’t even get top billing in his own fake divorce, nope – for that, AS USUAL, they go all the way back to Brad, especially back to circa 2005 and ‘Brangelina.’

      It’s always the way, once she was split from whoever it was, Vince, John, assorted date mates, Justedge- her power PR flack Huvane would always blame Brad and Brad would instantly replace them on the mag and rag covers. They knew where her bread and fame we’re buttered.

      I love how Us Weekly even did the ‘Brad Who’ing,’ that I only just talked about last week! So hilarious and predictable.

      • DiegoInSF says:

        I LOL’d at the Brad who? On the cover. It’s been 13 years, just get over it, tabloids!

      • Carmen says:

        You should see the way her fans are trying to spin the whole fake marriage fiasco. “Isn’t Jen clever for just pretending to marry him, now she doesn’t have to go through all the divorce mess, yadda yadda yadda”. Like it was the smartest thing in the world for her and Justin to perpetrate a fraud on the public.

    • arianna says:

      How can anyone believe a word Aniston or her PR says now? They LIED about a marriage, Aniston gave interviews about how it felt to be “married”. This is so bizarre.

      • Rebecca says:

        I wonder if they had the ceremony; and, afterwards he was supposed to go with her to fill out and turn in the paperwork but he refused to do it. Maybe that is why she refuses to mention it.

      • arianna says:

        @Rebecca

        More than likely it’s just a case of Aniston and her PR pulling a fast one on Aniston’s minivan fans.

        (Isn’t the paperwork filled out BEFORE the wedding? To be married legally most people get a marriage license that is signed at the time of the wedding)

      • Rebecca says:

        I think you’re right Arianna. The paperwork does come before the wedding unless you want to have two ceremonies. Can you imagine? Maybe one of them got cold feet right before the wedding and they had already paid for the ceremony so they went ahead with it anyway? It’s just so weird that there is not mention anywhere of the divorce filing.

      • arianna says:

        I agree Rebecca, it’s all very weird. Personally I think they may have had a Commitment Ceremony and called it a “marriage”. But then again, what do I know? LOL

  2. jwoolman says:

    Is it wrong that I would rather hear about Lindsay Lohan’s new life in exile?

    (Emphasis on the exile, please).

  3. Millenial says:

    Oh don’t wish Elon Musk on Aniston, poor girl doesn’t deserve that hot mess in her life. She’s like, 30 years too old for his tastes anyways. *barf*

  4. Fa says:

    Are she and Brad has the same publicist?

  5. Maya says:

    CAA playbook, this means that she is already dating someone and they are checking the audience response.

    Main reason I lost respect for this woman was due to her PR games and the way she & her friends attacked Angelina and her children.

    If she stops these PR games and doesn’t attack anyone, then she really has matured and I might applaud her.

    But yeah, funny how the media isn’t making a big deal about her fake wedding. If this was Angelina, she would have been butchered globally…

    • Guest says:

      How many times have you been asked to provide receipts of her attacking the children?

      • Kate says:

        I don’t remember Jen ever attacking the Jolie-Pitt kids (correct me if I’m wrong). I do, vividly, remmber Chelsea Handler flat-out calling Zahaza a monkey tough. A class act, that woman.

      • Maya says:

        And people have posted the “receipts” on CB hundreds of times.

        YOU can go check old threads if you need to see them.

      • Brandy Alexander says:

        I’ve checked. They don’t exist. Your “receipts” are vague comments from other commentators (that I suspect are all the same person). She has never publicly bashed those children.

      • SamC says:

        I think there was a general sense across the board that while JA never directly said anything, she was complicit because she was so tight with Chelsea Handler at the time, she never disavowed what Handler said about the kids and Handler was, in a sense, her defacto mouthpiece.

      • Jadedone says:

        @samc i never bought that, just because you are friends say things doesnt mean you agree. I know when men have hurt me my friends have defended me vigariously but their words werent mine. Also Jen hasnt been seen with Handler for years so maybe she did disavow her.

      • Dietcokehead says:

        Jennifer is responsible for her actions and hers alone. She’s not responsible for what Chelsea did nor should she be expected to issue apologies for things Chelsea said. Continuing to claim that she’s a horrible person for someone else’s behavior is, it must be said, really crappy of you.

      • Lady D says:

        Twice she walked onstage beaming and clapping after CH racist monologue against the JP children. That’s called complicit where I live. She didn’t say anything because her actions spoke much louder. Complicit.

      • arianna says:

        Jennifer Aniston was definitely a partner in crime with Handler when it came to the vilification of Angelina and the JP children. I saw the episode of Handler’s old show where she slammed Angie so viciously and violently just minutes before Aniston came out grinning like a Cheshire cat.

    • Brandy Alexander says:

      +1 to Jadedone & Dietcokehead! You guys said it perfectly.

    • K-Peace says:

      Maya, I agree with you on most things, especially your comments about Brad & how low he has sunk. However, Jennifer has never attacked Angelina’s kids. And Jen is not responsible for comments Chelsea Handler made, even if they were friends at the time. And, no, she should certainly not have to apologize for comments her friend made. That’s ludicrous. My own friends have said things at times that I don’t agree with.–And that’s on THEM only, not me.

      • Ange says:

        But continuing to hang out with Chelsea and as Lady D said walking on stage smiling and clapping after what she said to me shows she was pretty fine with what Chelsea said. Chelsea was pretty widely known as Aniston’s attack dog back then.

    • LahdidahBaby says:

      Aw jeez, not this old bs again, Maya. How tiresome. C’mon, really, just stop.

    • Rebecca says:

      I feel like she worked very hard to ostracize both Angelina and Brad from the rest of the Hollywood social group around their age. I kind of admire Justin Theroux in a way. For all his faults he seems like a friendly and outgoing guy who has an easy time making friends. I think he has been showing her that she is not going to be able to do that to him.

      • arianna says:

        It seems as if Ansiton is a very unhappy person. Every man who has dumped her seem to tell the same old story, how boring and dull she is. This could be a sign of depression. Even though she’s been in therapy since she was 17 years old, she still seems to be struggling.

  6. Queenb says:

    Can actresses please stop making “tech titans” happen?

    • Rescue Cat says:

      Yes. I winced when I saw the headline.

    • trh says:

      tech titans are terrible

      • arianna says:

        Billionaires do NOT get involved with 50 year women. They date young actresses or models.

        Remember how John Mayer dissed Aniston because she had no interest in learning how new technology works, that in itself would preclude any “tech titan” from showing any interest.

  7. Rescue Cat says:

    ‘Putting Brad & Justin in the past – at last’

    lol. She split with Justin this year.

    • smcollins says:

      And her & Brad divorced 13 (?) years ago. If that’s not in the past I don’t know what is.

    • boredblond says:

      Have a feeling that in 20 years these tabs will still be spouting ‘Jen is finally over Brad’..you’d think she was Miss Havisham..pining away in a dusty room..

      • Milla says:

        What Brad did was shitty. Bet she got over him the moment he left. Public humiliation is something else.

      • Carmen says:

        But she kept her humiliation public with all those sob stories in the tabloids. She was as much responsible for her humiliation as he was.

    • Kate says:

      It’s both very funny and pathetic.

    • Cleo2 says:

      …she gets away with so much BS, lol.

      As usual, her PR headlines luuuuv saying ‘Jen is fine,’ and that she’s “put Brad in the past,” even as he’s name dropped on her cover for the 12,347th time, and they once again go off on their ‘Brad Who’ing,’ tangent.

      If you’ve got to ask ‘Brad Who?’ on every mag cover with each new boyfriend or fake husband you’ve had in the last 13-14 years…perhaps you may want to just admit you will never EVER forget him and stop riding his coattails. I get ‘Brad who,’ a year later when you’ve met your first wonderful guy Vincee Vaughn and speculation is rife and you’re living together and you’re making the first of your Oprah rounds with a new man…but a decade after that and you’re still Brad whoing? Come now Jen PR.

      Yes I agree, she will be in assisted living with an elderly John Stamos lookalike and people or us rag, will still be Brad whoing.

    • B n A fan says:

      I was just reading a comment recently from someone who believes now Brad and Jen can get back together and have babies. That was one funny comment for me.

      when Brad left it was “Brad who”
      “your body is a wonderland” boyfriend days it “Brad who”
      then there was VINCE V , we hear “Brad who”
      Then there was about another five men before Justin we hear “Brad who”
      Then Justin with the killer body, we hear “Brad who”.
      Now there is some imaginary wealthy man , here comes the “Brad who”

      When are these people going to stop with this nonsense, it has been about 15 years Brad and Jen parted ways, stop talking about Brad who. It’s obvious Jen is high maintenance and she’s not going to have a baby, and Brad is never going back, jmo.

      • Jadedone says:

        @B n A fan why would Jenn want Brad back? This is a man accussed of violence against his children, alcoholism and blames everyone else. When he and Jenn broke up it was bc she was an evil woman who didnt want children, when he and Angelina broke up she was the evil woman who allienated him from his children. The common denominator here is Brad. Also why is Jenn high maintance??

      • B n A fan says:

        I never said Jen wants Brad back. What I’m saying is, why don’t some of her fans let go of the fairy tail of Brad and Jen. After all these years why is Brad’s name always in their thoughts. They know this is “man accused of violence against children, alcoholism and blame everyone else”. Stands to reason they should just let their dream dies a thousand deaths. Btw, I’m a fan of both Brad and Angelina and I don’t agree angelina should keep the children from seeing him. He’s in Theraphy and I’m sure he has made improvement, if the judge believe he’s should see them with supervision he should. Btw, I’m a person whose mother abandoned me when I was about 2 yo. To this day I cannot feel the way I should feel towards her. I tried, but that feelings never come. Off topic. This is one of the reason I believe the government is being being very cruel towards those people seeking asylum, some of those children will never be healthy in the mind again, jmo.

  8. Belle Epoch says:

    My first reaction was “yeah. Sure.” Pictures or it didn’t happen!

  9. Darla says:

    She definitely should move away from getting involved with actors, so good for her. I really don’t understand why any of these women go for actors. Look at Jlaw with her actors, musicians and directors. Girl, get yourself a successful businessman and live life right. These actors are high maintenance, narcissistic, toddlers. I personally don’t find any of them attractive.

  10. The Original G says:

    See. Jen is fun and can date if she wants. Can too. She’s still sexually viable- please offer her projects.

    • arianna says:

      Her acting has been a deterrent in her career. She can’t act, and she has no “presence” or “chemistry” onscreen.

  11. Mabs A'Mabbin says:

    I really don’t want to know another way to cook white rice. I can pour Cabo hot sauce all over it, but it’s still white rice lol.

  12. minx says:

    Sure Jan.

  13. Nancy says:

    Ha! I was thinking the same thing. She is almost fifty years old and can still cause a frenzy among those who don’t like her. That’s some power when she’s off somewhere not giving a shit what the townspeople think. Good for her!

    • Darla says:

      I like the ones who scoff at this outright, as if Aniston can’t get a date. It’s hilarious. Lawd knows I need some laughs these days.

      • Jadedone says:

        Right? Like Jenn Anniston is hard up for anything? Girl is sitting back in her mansion drinking a margaritta with like five dogs living her best life.

      • Cleo2 says:

        Funny you should say that @Darla, I think one of Chelsea Handler’s most vicious skits in the early days when she had writers who were somewhat funny, was Aniston not being able to get a date. They had heather MacDonald playing aniston on a dating game show, and proceeded to have like janitors and serial killers turn her down for dates.

        It wasn’t long after that, that Handler stopped attacking Aniston because Jen’s power PR flack Huvane signed her to his stable. Kinda the way he offered tv acting gigs to Perez to stop him dissing her.

        But what’s that about Aniston not caring what people think again? Lol

      • Darla says:

        Oh okay.

      • Alisha says:

        @darla she is attractive, well-connected and very rich. She will never be hard up for a date.

        That being said, I do think her instincts are not good. Brad (never got his appeal even in his heyday), John Mayer, Vince Vaughn (ewwwww), rumors of Gerald Butler, Justin. If I were her I would just stay single or try to date way outside the industry (and not a tech titan either, as most of them seem like douche bros).

      • minx says:

        Bluntly, tech titans don’t want a nearly year 50 year old woman, no matter if she is wealthy or not. They have money. They want the Amber Heards and Miranda Kerrs. Or even younger.
        It’s one thing to be Melinda Gates or Laurene Jobs, who were there from the beginning.

      • Alisha says:

        @minx I could see her pulling a Julia Roberts and hooking up with a camera man or something. Or a lawyer or accountant. But I think that if I were her I would just stay single and enjoy my beach house and margaritas for awhile.

      • minx says:

        Alisha, oh I definitely could see that. She should just enjoy her life, and she probably is.

      • Chrissyms says:

        Remember when she took John Mayer to the oscars. Then he dumped her like a month later. That is the worst choice she has made. Gross

    • Cleo2 says:

      Nancy, I don’t say this to offend.

      But it’s not like we don’t have numerous interviews of Aniston describing her low self esteem issues, her dependence on self help facile psychology and her expressing over and over and over again how much she does give an ish what people think- I mean my God, that was her sole reason for years of angst and cold shoulderism and bitter for Brad. She was po’d because of how she thought he made her look hooking up with someone so quick post split. She’s all about image, she essentially says so in most interviews.

      What’s really hilarious are her deluded supporters who try to claim she’s Miss ‘Over it and Moved On,’ when we all can point to her ‘Brad Who?’ covers, or her vicious besties that attack Angelina in her stead, or her crying through her yoga poses interviews in magazines (about 200 of them) or into Oprah’s bosom.

      The continued poor pitiful me routine set the tone for years: it was ‘please feel sorry for me and hate them.’ The tabloids obliged her and she made much bank and got press she otherwise would never have gotten.

      So trying to paint her as something everyone knows she’s not, is just bizarre. Now there’s even info that she may have even gotten fake married to compete with her ex! That’s like stalker territory for sure. Lol

      I mean she may one day stop her brad whoing and looking pathetic, but IMO it hasnt happened yet.

      • Darla says:

        Can you expound on this?

      • Cleo2 says:

        @Darla are you triggered? Lol

        How’s this work, I get to post 5x on this board and in this thread like you’ve done…

        …but only if I don’t mention how Aniston and her PR flack will never be over Brad Pitt?

        Kay. 😉

      • Linda says:

        @Cleo you are overly interested in a person you claim to be bland and uninteresting.

  14. Sage says:

    It’s will always be “Brad who” because Brad was her peak. Aniston has never and will never marry another as famous as Brad was at that time. The were tagged the Golden Couple, how do you best that?

  15. Tourmaline says:

    My main takeaway was she is doing a movie with Adam Sandler…..blech

    • ravynrobyn says:

      Ha, my main take from the cover is “Emily & John, Hollywood’s New Power Couple”. PUH-LEEZ.

  16. MoAnne says:

    This must be the same PR person who wrote Brad is aging in reverse and never been hotter, right?

    Healthy, hot and dating!! Wanted by EVERYONE. So OVER that other PERSON (you know who!) Passive aggressive digs and drama. Don’t forget about ME. I’m filming a movie!

    All these stories come from the celeb’s own PR people (acc. to tabloid writer, Janice Minn). It’s always the same stuff, too. At least, try some new story lines….

  17. Vox says:

    Good lord, the tabloids must just have a stack of pieces about her ready to go with blank spaces for names so they just have to type in ‘Brad’ or ‘Justin’ or ‘Angelina’ and it’s done.
