New rumors are swirling about Jennifer Aniston and Gerard Butler. They’re pretty much the same old rumors that have been going on for months – sources telling the tabloids that Gerry and Jennifer were spotted snuggling up to each other, or walking into a hotel together, or that Jennifer was fondling Gerry’s moobs or whatever (I made that one up). The latest incarnation is this: Jennifer and Gerry were holding hands Saturday night in New York. Of course, Jennifer’s rep Stephen Huvane corrected People’s report, saying that definitely were not holding hands. However, Huvane didn’t say anything about Friday’s report on Radar that Jennifer and Gerry were kissing on set. In the past few months, Gerard has denied being romantically involved with Jennifer several times, in several interviews. Perhaps their status has changed?
Jennifer Aniston and Gerard Butler were seen “hand in hand” this weekend at The Jane Hotel in Manhattan’s Meatpacking District, a source tells PEOPLE. The two are currently filming The Bounty in New York City.
“Jen and Gerry went out on Saturday night,” says the source, who, noting that the cozy couple were surrounded by such others as Kirsten Dunst, also said Aniston and Butler “had cocktails and … They were hand in hand.”
Aniston’s rep, however, says the pair were simply out with pals. “Jennifer was out with many others from the film and they were not holding hands,” says Stephen Huvane. “Gerry was one of many from the film there.”
The newest “in” spot, The Jane has been attracting the likes of Mischa Barton and Kate Winslet, among others.
According to another source, Aniston, 40, and Butler, 39, were also spotted dining on the Lower East Side at Freemans, another hot spot, before cozying up at the hotel lounge.

Yeah… they had “cocktails”. Except Gerard doesn’t drink anymore. Unless he was drinking a Shirley Temple. Which would be really cute.
In one Gerry-related note, he recently gave an interview to a Scottish newspaper where he talked about how disappointed he was in himself for forgoing his natural Scottish accent to achieve more success in Hollywood. The funniest part is that compared himself to Sheena Easton! Gerry said: “I hated anyone from Scotland who lost their accent in the slightest. When Sheena Easton made it in America and suddenly stared talking in an accent I swore and threw shoes at her on the television. I’m not comfortable enough [to] do American accents only when we film so I have to keep it up all the time. I really hate myself for doing that.” Oh, the self-loathing Scotsman. How sweet. I would nail him no matter the accent, although I do have affection for his natural Scottish brogue. I’m sure Aniston feels the same way.
Here are Jennifer and Gerard filming a scene for “The Bounty” in Queens on Thursday and Manhattan today. Images thanks to BauerGriffinOnline.
So Gerard doesn’t drink anymore? Uh huh.
really cute dress on her in bottom pics.
I realize there’s generally nothing about J. Aniston to talk about beside the same old shit. It’s usually the same story with a different male lead every few months.
Aniston’s rep, however, says the pair were simply out with pals. “Jennifer was out with many others from the film and they were not holding hands,” says Stephen Huvane. “Gerry was one of many from the film there.”
They’ve already been given a cute nickname, JenGer (Ginger).
Well I like Gerard Butler, but I wouldn’t say Jen is his usual type. He’s usually into women who are darker than her. But being that he has gone on record as to deny dating her, it probably mean he truly is dating her. You know how those celebs deny everything at first (i.e. Leann Rimes and that other couple who shall remain nameless 😉 ) and then in the following weeks they are out and about as couple.
Please, Jen ,no Gerry is a player
lol, I love that he brought up Sheena Easton. Although accented singing is kind of different.
ooooh lookie, he has handcuffs. wait, what was this article about?
he denied the kiss too, to gossipcop
WOAH! Check out her muscles in that first pic. How does she manage to hide those things so well? She always looks so lovely and slim. I’m impressed!
I am sorry but I really don’t like her. SHe has milked her divorce for all the attention she could get. She has used Brad and Angie to stay in the limelight and to help promote her look a like rom coms over and over again. Her PR team is so evil that they do whatever they can to make Angie look bad but Karma is a bi..h. Angie has positive karma. Aniston not so much.
Whadja expect? Brad has a hit movie out and he and Angie are buying that place in Miraval to hunker down in with their family. A girl’s gotta do something to stay in the tabloids.
Oh, this is too obvious a pr ploy. After Cooper picked Renee, Aniston has to come out with a new defense. Why didn’t Huvane deny her connection with Coop? Hmmmm . . . I guess he wants to say she doesn’t care about him, anyways, she’s too busy with Butler. And, yet another showmance in the works? I don’t think this woman does a single thing without considering the pr angle.
This isn’t shocking. Tabloids are saying Cooper dumped her, Brad has a hit movie, and Jennifer has a movie coming out in a few weeks. The perfect storm to start new Jennifer and Gerard rumors. I don’t think since the divorce Jennifer has gone to a premiere single.
Lainey says it best. “Jennifer Aniston was hit hard last week. Magazine covers calling her pathetic, Bradley Cooper calling her “not natural”, Renee Zellweger trumping her ass. And then Brad Pitt wins at the box office. So you knew come Monday she’d have to find away to matter again. And here it is, posted at prime web time 10:15am EST, an article on People.com, of course!, about Jen and Gerry Butler holding hands on Saturday night at The Jane Hotel, enjoying cocktails after dinner. By the way, you know Gerry’s next movie The Gamer is due out on September 4th, right? Just making sure. Predicting Jennifer Aniston is so much easier than playing poker.”
you brangeloonies are really pathetic, she was out with the filmcrew not only gerard
To prees: Slow your roll, honey; it’s not us promoting this fauxmance, it’s the tabloids. And guess who’s instigating it? Three guesses and the first two don’t count.
Lookie here. Jen flashing for the cameras while filming. Looks like she’s doing the Britney/The Paris/The Lindsey. Someone wants attention!

I agree with you Prees.
And Cee, she has not milked her divorce, it has been the tabloids that are obsessed with this love triangle, that She did not look for, as I recall Brad brought Skankelina into her life, not the other way around.
Besides, She is working!!! I would love to take a picture of you guys at work and if you are talking to a male co-worker post it at your job that you guys are hooking up, that your dating, that you are pregnant with his baby… No, wait he is dumping you!!! .. you know all kinds of crap.. and see what you think.
Poor Chick, she can’t get a break.
I really don’t get the antipathy to Jen Aniston. People really love to hate her and assign all sorts of ulterior motives to every single thing she does. Why? Is it because she’s a woman? A woman who had the temerity to be once married, and now is not? So what? This sort of misogynistic nitpicking should have gone out with the witch hunts of times past. And whether she’s a good actress or not is really beside the point. And by the way, I love that dress in the last couple of pics.
And, out comes the misogynistic card. How dare anyone criticize Ms wonderful? Plz her pr tactics are pretty obvious. In the latest Elle interview, her friend Kristan Hahn interviewed her. She asked Jen what hardships she had faced. What do you think Jen referenced? You guessed it. Her split. Still milking it.
…and voila! my point is illustrated…
Well Michele, if anybody asks me what was one of the the biggest hardship’s I have faced, hands down it would be my divorce. It’s an honest answer, and I am really happy now. But if the question is asked that would be my answer. And I am not milking anything!!!
If the press thought I was dating Jennifer Aniston I’d take up drinking again too.
She needs attention?? Come on, she is working in a roll since last year! The Pitt-Pottyhead is the one who needs attention! His movie sucks!
They are single! Be happy!
Heaven, give me a break, her friend asked her the question not a reporter! After 5 yrs . . . that’s sad. She has no one to blame about her image but herself. I can think of so many other actresses who dealt with their divorces with little fanfare (Reese, Uma, Nicole, Mary Louise Parker). Shark attack victims have a faster recovery than Aniston.
No one is surprised by these rumours at all. She can’t do one movie with out them.
@michele:
she didnt say her own split was the hardest…. i read the magazine and what she said was that her parents split was the hardest thing for her; so why are u going around lying lol
this is the quote from the magazine
Kristin: What have been your personal brick walls ?
JEN: Well, there’s the obvious one, which of course was quite public. But my bigger brick walls are from my childhood. My dad walking out and not seeing him for a year and not knowing where he was…trying to understand, Where did that person go? But they all seem so minimal now when I look around and I haven’t lost a child, a parent, been through anything truly tragic. The gift of my childhood—the by-product of those struggles-was laughter, being able to find the humor. I wouldn’t trade any of it, because there’s so much growth and empathy forced out of those experiences.
Hello, actually it was the tabloids that keep pushing the triangle and posters are quick to respond – just look at the number of comments on this site on a story related to Aniston, Jolie and Pitt..they out number the others by a wide margin. It is the consumer that pushes the product and in this case the three players in this saga. The stakes have changed now it’s Renee and Jennifer, Brad Cooper instead of Pitt and anyone who really believes these stories needs to buy a parcel of land I have available…and I need financial help to move my millions from Nigeria. 😉
is it these photos, the angles, the lightening, the drama happening…well whatever, she’s just looking old to me. Guess time catches up to ya….especially when all you have to come home to… is your dog.
There is, indeed, so much hatred for this woman. It’s odd. She must remind people of a mean girl in high school.
By all accounts, everyone who knows her says that she’s sweet.
And for the losers who think she dates as a PR manipulation, get a life. That is not how Hollywood works these days. If you think otherwise, you must be a receptionist at CAA, scheming to make it big in a milieu you don’t understand.
fug is at it again, how many times is she going to rely on this fake crap? she is Hollywood laughing stock, she gets no respect, people with high IQ knows better.
Not everyone thinks so. You might ask Jay Mohr, her ex-roomate, Tate Donovan, her exs, and a few waitresses what they think about her. There have been reports that she’s not exactly the “sweetheart” she portrays.
Cee, you really think Jen’s PR team sits around thinking of ways to make Angelina look bad? Are you nuts? Anyway angelina does not need any help looking bad in the public eye, she does a great job of making herself look bad without anyone’s help.
The pitt-potty-head must be jealous! She can date who she wants! She is SINGLE! Take it fans of SATAN-gelina!
funny, it always seems to be a brangeloonie that a) brings Aniston into a Brangelina thread or b) brings Brangelina into an Aniston thread.
and they say Jen fans are obsessed…egad.
I think that Angelina has a better image today than during her BBT period and before that. I think that Jennifer has a worse image today that she had before.
It’s ironic cause Jolie 34, was a wild child, the bad girl, the controversial one and end up in a more stable relationship and usually put some very conservative clothes on, more mother type or matron type in her everyday behaviour.
Jennifer 6 and a half years older was America Sweetheart, used to be more elegant, raffined, poised and lady like than she is today. And her choices in men have gone straight up downhill (not even refering to their physique) culminating with a douche like Mayer, all this as she is aging and hitting 40 already.
It’s like reversal image perception of what they used to be. One is maturing compared to her past, the other one is regressing compared to her own past.
Just saying.
Wow, all that sun bathing is taking its toll on her skin, look at those spots on her arms.
Just have to laugh at those of you who can’t stand her for such a silly thing as being Angelina’s baby ” daddy former wife. I mean is this High School? I mean it doesn’t help Brangelina by hating on an ex wife. It kinda makes you look petty and small. She in all truth handled herself well after Angelina decided she wanted another married man to add to her collection. Only this time she wanted him to stay around. So she got knocked up. The oldest most pathetic trick in the book. Such an example to independent woman everywhere. NO? Gerard is so much hotter than Grandpa Pitt
God, her interview sounds so bad! And, the “obvious one which was quite public”? Gee, I wonder what that’s about? Oh yeah, the Pittster again. Even with her friend there to help her out, she still seems messed up. You are a 40 yr old women bringing up your past over and over. Time to move on, crybaby. She’s the problem, not the tabloids.
It’s called acting. No story here. Unless he’s her new Vince Vaughan. She likes her guys boozy.
