For years, Jennifer Aniston’s love life has been the source of public interest. After all, the 55-year-old has had many high profile relationships like her marriages to Brad Pitt and even Justin Theroux. Although the actress chose to focus on herself and healing after her 2018 split, there were rumors that she was interested in a former One Direction member who was 25 years younger than her.
A romantic relationship with Aniston may have made Harry Styles’ childhood dreams come true, it never came to fruition. However, a source alleged that the actress had given the idea more than just a passing thought.
A potential Jennifer Aniston and Harry Styles love affair
In 2020, Harry Styles revealed on the Ellen DeGeneres Show that his first-ever celebrity crush was Jennifer Aniston. Although no one thought much of it in the moment, just a few weeks later, the actress made her way to one of the musician’s concerts. Unfortunately, the 30-year-old had embarrassed himself in front of her when his pants ripped on stage.
While Styles may have thought he’d lost any chance he had then, a source close to Aniston alleged that she was open to having a relationship with him. In an interview with Closer, the insider shared that the FRIENDS star had used his outfit malfunction to strike up a conversation with the young star online.
Jen had been joking with pals about who she could get together with next and there has been talk about Harry. He ticks all the boxes – he’s successful, intellectual, edgy and cooler than almost anyone else out there. He’s totally in her league.
The insider continued that with Styles’ obvious interest in older women given his former relationship with Olivia Wilde, there was a chance at a love match. In fact, the source also added, “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.”
Although Aniston may have taken a shine to the young star, she did not end up acting on it. Instead the actress chose to heal herself after her two high-profile and rather public divorces.
Why Jennifer Aniston hasn’t dated in years
Ever since Jennifer Aniston broke out into the acting world, her love life has been the interest of all her fans. Although the actress had her fair share of whirlwind love affairs, her luck with love has never been the greatest. After all, the 55-year-old thought she had found the one, twice, but both the marriages ended up failing.
Although Aniston’s marriage to Brad Pitt lasted for 5 years, it fell apart shortly after the actor met Angelina Jolie. As for her second marriage to Justin Theroux, exact details as to why they split were never revealed. However, the couple managed to stay good friends. In an interview with The Independent, the actress shared why it was harder for her to date now.
I didn’t like the idea of sacrificing who you were or what you needed, so I didn’t really know how to do that. So it was almost easier to just be kind of solo.
Although Aniston chose to stay single, not all her friends seem to agree with her decision. However, the 55-year-old believes that it is the best thing for her. After all, she admitted, “I didn’t have any real training in that give-and-take.”
Aniston might prefer focusing on herself and her rescue animals. But there is no doubt that sometimes the star could get a little lonely. Luckily for her, she has her girl gang to lean back on matter what happens.
