Okay, so here’s what seems to be true: Jennifer Aniston had dinner with actor Christopher Gartin. It looked like a date, based on someone’s obsessive notes.
Now for the speculative part: Radar Online is now reporting that Jennifer and Chris are indeed dating, and one of Jennifer’s friends is “hearbroken“- because Chris is her ex-husband.
Chris’ ex-wife, Joanne Gartin, is an Australian-born wedding planner-to-the-stars, who has long been a part of Jen’s inner circle.
They socialize in the same circle, with Courteney Cox and her husband David Arquette.
It was through that friendship where Chris met Jen, RadarOnline.com has learned.
“I’m really not at all interested in it,” Joanne said dismissively when asked about the relationship between Jen, 41, and Chris, 42.
But she confirmed, “Jennifer has been my friend – our friend – for over 10 years… we have known each other a long time.”
Well, Joanne doesn’t sound hearbroken, but Joanne’s stepmother (Robbie Ahlfeld) is saying something else.
“It’s been difficult for Joanne,” Robbie Ahlfeld told Australian magazine Woman’s Day. “It just seems so bizarre to me because Jo and Jen are such good friends. I find it very strange that Jen would do that [to Jo].”
Apparently, Chris and Joanne’s divorce was only finalized last month with some details still being negotiated. Yet Jennifer is acting as stepmother to Chris and Joanne’s kids, according to Radar Online.
“Jen is in their lives,” said Robbie. “She comes to their house and Sydney and Flynn go to her house a lot, to play in the pool. Jen gets on well with the kids and they play together.”
IF this is true, after ALL the fuss that’s been made about the Angelina-Brad-Jennifer triangle… oh boy
What do you think: fact or fiction?

Sounds like a total Denise Richards situation for sure if it’s true. Stealing your best friends guy so NOT COOL! I don’t think Jennifer would do that. We all know Denise Richards would though! LOL!
SKANIFFER SUCKS
If its true, then wait a couple of weeks and the 40 going on 16 woman/girl will appear on Oprah to be comforted and hugged to the forgiving bosom of the Mighty Opes! It may not be true (and I wouldn’t want her to be accused if it isn’t true), but if it is . . . . she will be on Oprah’s show being the “Golly gee whiz, I didn’t know I was doing something kinda iffy” girl.
Scruffy, I would LMAO if it ended up being true!!!
Sorry to break it to you Jennifer A. fans, but Jennifer A. is a home wrecker. Brad left Jen because he wasn’t happy and Jen wasn’t giving him children. Jen, on the other hand, is breaking up a home for the publicity. She wants to be the other woman in hopes of showing up all the men that dumped her.
Well I don’t believe it, but wouldn’t it be ironic.
think the divorce is recent (they’re still in court) and who knows how long they’ve been together. right or wrong, you expect your ex to move on, just hope it’s not with a best friend of a decade. Sorry, but that hurts. that’s the outrage people felt toward Richards, but if Aniston does it it’s OK. Double standard? Now we know why her publicist so quickly denied a relationship.
You taunt me with those Jimmy Choos…
WHORE!!!!!
I say go ahead Jen, have some fun. We all know what you’ve been through, you deserve to be happy not matter what.
there is no double standard! you brangelina want it to be! they have been separated over a year! jennifer and brad were not separated until mr and mrs smith where he and angelina had an affair. there is a big difference! whether it is jennifer, angelina, bob smith, or sally tutu! facts are facts! also his divorce was final on june 30 and they went out if it was a date on july 1st – so he was divorce! either way it isn’t the same. do the math!
People will continue to make excusses for this fraud, until the earth stops spinning, You do not date a close friends ex. I do not care how long the ink has been dry. There are too many more fish in the sea.
I agree. Isn’t it funny how Jen fans find that she is always the innocent correct person in any situation and they brand anyone else who would do it otherwise?
If Denise Richards was a terrible person when she got with her friend Heather Locklear’s ex after the divorce, like many people labeled her, than Jennifer is on the same level.
Oh bit our tongue, Ms. Aniston can do no wrong. Ever “rolls eyes”
Ok never believe anything you read..second this couple had been seperated for over a year and a half and the divorce final before she was ever seen with him..so yeah that makes this a lot different from Brad and Angie who were screwing each other while he was married. Not that I could date one of my friends ex-husbands but that is just me..
If this is true and he and his wife have been separated for quite some time and are now divorced what is the problem. I am married to a friend of my ex.
That’s such a bummer to ruin a friendship for a budding romance. And why date someone who JUST got divorce last month?
First of all, who knows if she is even dating the man? Second, I WOULD have a problem if she started dating, say, David Arquette a month after he and Courtney Cox signed divorce papers. But the ex-husband of someone who happens to be included in a circle of friends? Not such a huge problem with that. It’s not like they flew to Africa and had a rendezvous prior to anything being final.
And for the record, I wouldn’t consider myself a Jennifer Aniston “fan”.
Right the girl is just within the same circle of friends. Its not like its her best friend. And i they are dating it obviously hasn’t been for very long since she’s been supposedly “dating” other guys like Gerard, Bradley, and John Mayer recently.
We don’t know enough about this friendship or the marriage to be making any guesses as to what is going on here. I had never heard about this women before had any of you? Was she close to Jennifer or just someone she knew through other friends? We do know she was NOT Jennifer’s best friend as some tabs and blogs are saying so how true is the rest of the story? Haters will hate no matter what the truth may be.
What if Jen and Kris were already doing the nasty before the divorce. This always seem to be the reason celeb. leave eachother. Why her friend’s husband (ex)? She can’t find anyone else?
Apparently they’d been separated for a year and a half and having dinner doesn’t equal “doing the nasty”. At least not in my world.
We have seen jen with Courtney and David A many, many times together while vacationing, or supporting Cox & Arquette’s projects or charity works. And as girl friends, we have seen her with Courtney, Sheryl Crow but never Chris’ ex-wife, Joanne Gartin. It is said that Courtney supported Christopher Gartin, when he was new in his profession, so they knew each other or were friends for over long time. And I don’t believe this story because tabloids made big news of jen dinning with Bradley Cooper one time. It can be business dinner or just friends. And if it is true, it is not a big issue since Gartin’s divorce is final, and that he must be separated from his wife over past two years. Here, there is no comparison with Brangelina..
Denise Richards was not friends with Heather Locklear, they both stated that. They knew some of the same people. However, I think this story is BS as is most in the OK mag.
Yeah, they brand Jen as always being correct and Ange as being the lying, man-snatching she-devil. lol
I dont know, having dinner with Jen would definitely be nasty to me. Not “the nasty”, just nasty.
