Jennifer Aniston's whirlwind love life - pursued by pop icon to co-star romance
At 54, Jennifer Aniston is still one of Hollywood’s leading ladies – and one of the most eligible.
Since her split with second husband Justin Theroux in February 2018, the Friends star hasn’t gone public with a new man.
She was rumoured to have a secret boyfriend in 2021 and linked to her Morning Show co-star Jon Hamm, who recently got engaged to someone else.
Her latest love interest is said to be none other than singer Harry Styles, who is well known for his love of older women.
And while Jennifer recently confessed she isn’t on the lookout for husband number three, she is ready to be in a relationship again.

Here we look back at Jennifer’s A-list love life, from new love rumours to two failed marriages, romances on the Friends set and her famous first boyfriend....
Harry Styles

The 29-year-old singer is said to have been pursuing Jennifer, who he recently revealed was his first ever crush.
Their 'flirty' messages apparently started when Jennifer reached out to Harry after he suffered an embarrassing wardrobe malfunction and split his trousers in front of her during a gig in LA.
Since then Jennifer is said to have been joking with pals who she could get together with next – and it seems Harry could be on the list.
"The way Jen sees it, she'd be crazy not to have some fun. Harry's got a great sense of humour and is totally chilled, they're a great match on paper," an insider told Closer magazine.
Now Harry has split with ex-girlfriend Olivia Wilde, it could pave the way for him and Jen to get together....

She even posted a New Year reel that heavily featured Adam and wrote alongside it: "Thanks 2022. 2023... ready, set, let's go. Happy New Year everyone!"

The pair have actually been pals for years and Adam has been married to wife Jackie who he share two daughters with, since 2003.
Jennifer has previously said of their friendship: "You love each other, he takes you in and I'm very much the same way", adding they are like "family".
Justin Theroux
Jennifer is still good friends with ex-husband Justin Theroux (Getty Images)Jennifer has been married twice, most recently to actor Justin Theroux who she split with in February 2018.
The pair first met in 2007 and friendship turned to romance when they both starred in 2011 movie Wanderlust a few years later.
2012 was a big year for the couple as they bought a house together, adopted a puppy and got engaged.
But the pair, who later said they 'felt married' for years, waited three whole years before tying the knot in a romantic ceremony in their backyard.
Despite seeming so happy together, Jen and Justin announced their shock split in 2018 after just two years of marriage.
In a joint statement they said: "This decision was mutual and lovingly made at the end of last year. We are two best friends who have decided to part ways as a couple, but look forward to continuing our cherished friendship."
And proving you can stay friends with an ex, Jen and Justin have been spotted having dinner recently just as pals.
John Mayer

Their on-off romance was short lived and he later admitted to sleeping with 'four or five' other women while they were on a break.
They eventually parted ways in 2009 and John hinted their age gap - she is eight years older - was to blame.
"I'll always be sorry that it didn't last," he said at the time. "In some ways I wish I could be with her. But I can't change the fact that I need to be 32."
Vince Vaughn

The pair met on the set of their appropriately titled movie The Breakup in 2005 and dated for a year.
Jen later told Vogue it was Vince who brought her back to life following her shock split with Brad.
She joked: "I call Vince my defibrillator. He literally brought me back to life... he was lovely and fun and perfect for the time we had together. I needed that."
Brad Pitt

The pair met in the early Nineties but didn't go on their first date until 1998 after reportedly being set up by their agents.
Two years later they tied the knot in a lavish ceremony in Malibu in July 2000, but by 2005 it was over.
It emerged Brad had become close to his Mr & Mrs Smith co-star Angelina Jolie, who Brad went on to marry, have children with and later divorce.
David Schwimmer

At the Friends reunion they finally came clean, admitting they'd had a 'major crush' on each other during the first season of filming the show.
"We were both crushing hard on each other," David said, "but it was like two ships passing because one of us was always in a relationship and we never crossed that boundary. We respected that."
Confirming the feeling was mutual, Jen recalled telling him: "It's going to be such a bummer if the first time you and I actually kiss is going to be on national television."
"Sure enough, first time we kissed was in that coffee shop. So we just channelled all of our adoration and love for each other into Ross and Rachel."
Further pressed about how far they took their feelings, Jen later told DJ Howard Stern that: "No. I would proudly say I banged Schwimmer if that happened. But no."
Paul Rudd
Jen briefly dated Paul Rudd (AFP)He might have joined Friends as Phoebe Buffay's boyfriend-turned-husband Mike Hannigan, but it was Jen who apparently used to hook up with Paul Rudd in real life.
The two are rumoured to have embarked on a brief romance - just before she met Brad Pitt - when Paul played her gay best friend in 1998 movie The Object of My Affection.
They later starred as a couple in 2012 movie, Wanderlust.
Asked whether or not it was weird to kiss onscreen, Jen joked, "Nah. I've kissed him for years," and Paul quipped: "We've made out for decades."
