Celeb Jennifer Aniston is one of the most famous actresses of her era, and while plenty have come along during her reign, she has maintained her place at the top thanks to her legacy on Friends and her ability to thrive in new roles. Acting aside, a lot of focus from the media has been on her love life through the years.

While filming Marley & Me, Aniston is said to have struck up a brief romance with Owen Wilson, who is a movie star and a comedic dynamo in his own right. This romance was not widely covered like Aniston’s others, but this does not mean that it didn’t have an impact on the work that they were doing.

Let’s take a look back at the brief romance between Jennifer Aniston and Owen Wilson.

They Met While Filming Marley & Me

It is not too uncommon to hear of co-stars striking up a romance while making a movie together. After all, these people do spend months of their lives working in close proximity with one another, and in a situation like that, it can be easy to grow feelings for someone. This is what is alleged to have taken place between Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston while they were making Marley & Me.

Prior to getting together, both performers were already quite successful in Hollywood. Aniston, of course, became a household name while starring on Friends, and she would eventually become a success on the big screen as time went on. Wilson, meanwhile, had done an exceptional job in comedic roles and became a movie star in his own right during the 2000s.

Fans were excited to see what these two could do alongside one another, but few would have guessed that they would strike up a romance while making the movie. According to The Fashion Ball, Wilson was quite taken with Aniston and Aniston was charmed by Wilson’s humor. Low and behold, these two stars wound up dating one another for a period of time while they were making Marley & Me.

As some have noticed, this relationship was not nearly as publicized as some of Aniston’s other romances, and this is because their time together was rather short.

The Relationship Was Brief

Dating in the industry can be tough, and some things just aren’t really meant to last. This was apparently the case for Jennifer Aniston and Owen Wilson who wound up sharing a brief relationship together. Instead of something that was covered in the headlines and lasted for years, their romance was relatively brief.

Regardless of how brief their romance was, one thing remains true: their chemistry helped make Marley & Me a success at the box office. Based on the memoir of the same name, the movie would go on to generate over $247 million at the box office. The duo were fantastic together while the cameras were rolling, and while the film did not get stellar reviews from critics, fans loved what they brought to the table enough to make the movie a financial success.

Once things officially wrapped up with the movie, the news of their brief romance was quickly forgotten about as the pair moved on and entered new phases of their careers and love lives.

They Have Since Moved On

Marley & Me was released all the way back in 2008, and it goes without saying that both Jennifer Aniston and Owen Wilson have moved on in more ways than one. Not only have they each taken on a number of other projects over these last 13 years, but they have also been linked to other romantic partners.

Since their time together, Aniston has dated men like John Mayer, Gerard Butler, and Justin Theroux. Love life aside, the actress has appeared in projects like Just Go with It, Horrible Bosses, Dumplin’, and The Morning Show. Yeah, she’s been ultra successful, but this is nothing new for the star who broke out as Rachel Green back in the 90s.

Owen Wilson, meanwhile, has done quite well for himself. Through the years, Owen Wilson has been linked to people like Kate Hudson, Le Call, and Scarlett Benchley. On the big screen, the performer has appeared in projects like Night at the Museum 2The Grand Budapest Hotel, Midnight in Paris, and Wonder. On the small screen, he will be joining Tom Hiddleston on the Loki series this year.
