Rumour has it Jennifer Aniston and David Schwimmer may be dating

It’s a relationship that’s been more than two decades in the making, but Ross and Rachel – sorry, um – David Schwimmer and Jennifer Aniston may be dating. Or so says new rumours, which surfaced this week and have caused Friends fans everywhere to (understandably) lose their minds.
According to the U.K. gossip site Closer, a source has revealed that the real-life will-they-won't-they have grown closer since the Friends reunion in May. So close, in fact, that they’re now... dating.
“After the reunion, it became clear that reminiscing over the past had stirred up feelings for both of them and that chemistry they’d always had to bury was still there. They began texting immediately after filming and, just last month, David flew from his home in New York to see Jen in L.A.,” said the mysterious source.
“They’ve been spending time at Jen’s home, where she’s cooked dinners in the evenings, and have enjoyed quality time together, chatting and laughing,” the person continued. “They were also spotted drinking wine, deep in conversation, as they walked around one of Jen’s favourite vineyards in Santa Barbara, where it was clear there was lots of chemistry between them.”
If you’ll recall, during one of the interview portions of the Friends reunion (which is now available to stream along with the entire original series on Crave), host James Corden asked the cast how it was possible that they filmed the chemistry-filled show together for a decade without any of them actually dating or hooking up.
Aniston and Schwimmer both admitted they were crushing hard on each other during the first season, but the timing never really worked out since they were both always with other people.
“Honestly, I remember saying one time to David, it’s going to be such a bummer if the first time you and I actually kiss is going to be on national television,” Aniston revealed. “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.”
And then, there was the moment in June this year when Jen said in a Howard Stern interview: "I would proudly say I banged Schwimmer if that happened. But no." Food for thought.
Given all that, it didn’t take long for the news to spread as the dating rumours quickly went viral. A representative for Schwimmer has since denied the rumours, but that hasn’t stopped fans from freaking out. After all, the idea that one of the most iconic TV couples of all time may finally be dating in real life is all kinds of too good.
Aniston was previously married to Brad Pitt and Justin Theroux, from whom she split in 2017. Schwimmer, meanwhile, was married to English artist and photographer Zoe Buckman, with whom he shares daughter Cleo Buckman Schwimmer. Schwimmer and Buckman also split in 2017.
