Exclusive: Jen engaged to mystery man?
Miami reader JK wrote to me with details on a Sunday night sighting at Mandarin Oriental’s Martini Bar:
“I was at the bar polishing off my second lychee martini when a group of about five people came in and sat down. As they ordered their drinks one of the voices sounded awfully familiar - sure enough, I looked up and it was none other than Jennifer Aniston, surrounded by friends. One tall, dark, and extremely handsome man had his arm around her - at first, I was willing to dismiss this as simply, you know, friends being friendly.
“However, as they sat down the two of them kept giving each other knowing glances, and once their drinks arrived, the entire party raised their glasses in a toast. Then another gentleman at the table asked Ms. Aniston if he could see ‘it’ again, at which point she extended her left hand towards him. After looking at something on her hand for a moment, he made an inaudible comment on it and then asked her when the ‘big day’ would be, so that he could clear his schedule. After glancing at Tall, Dark and Handsome for a moment, she said that it wasn’t set in stone but that he’d be the first to know, since obviously, she’d need his help. Then a woman at the table raised her glass in another toast . . .
“‘Here’s to people who check the date before they believe everything that they read - happy April Fools’ Day!’”
[Disclaimer: This is, obviously, a work of fiction. Even the ever-observant JK is fictional, although if she were a real person those initials would stand for something like Just Kidding. To the best of my knowledge, Jen was not seen at the Martini Bar on Sunday night, nor did she have her arm around a tall, dark, handsome man. Although if she did, I am of course tremendously happy for her and not at all jealous.]
