AceShowbiz - A night out in West Hollywood featuring Jennifer Aniston and Pedro Pascal sparked speculation about a possible romance. Now an insider sets the record straight.

The source told Page Six there's "no romance" between the pair despite wild speculations fueled by internet frenzy. "They respect each other as artists but it's strictly platonic and they're not dating," the insider claimed.

The buzz began when photos surfaced showing the "Friends" alum and "The Last of Us" actor attending dinner together in West Hollywood, Calif., over the weekend. They were spotted exiting the Tower Bar inside the Sunset Tower Hotel after a three-hour meal with friends and chatting near the valet area.

The sighting even led some to re-share a Critics Choice Awards red carpet moment between them. During a playful encounter, Aniston invited Pascal to guest star on her TV show and he responded positively.

"Pitch it to me now," Pascal said, to which Aniston joked about a role involving "anything romantic" with "all of us." He quipped, "I sleep with everyone on the show. I'm in. All right, I'll be waiting to hear from my agents."

Aniston was previously married Brad Pitt and Justin Theroux, and she hasn't had any public relationship since her divorce from Theroux who recently tied the knot with Nicole Brydon Bloom.

Meanwhile, Pascal has kept his dating life largely out of spotlight. He was previously linked to actresses Maria Dizzia, Lena Headey, and Robin Tunney.

Although fans may be disappointed that there's no new Hollywood power couple to celebrate, both Aniston and Pascal continue to thrive in their careers, and their mutual respect for each other as artists remains unaffected by the rumors.
