They delighted Friends fans all over the world in May when they revealed they had been 'crushing hard' on one another during filming on the hit show's early seasons.

And although Jennifer Aniston and David Schwimmer had sparked speculation they are becoming each other's 'lobsters' in real life, it now seems they really are on a break and not seeing if there's any romance, years after 'crushing' on the hit show.

It had been reported the duo were 'growing close' after the recent Friends special 'stirred up feelings', 17 years after Ross Geller and Rachel Green's romantic reunion.

It was reported by a Closer Magazine that David and Jennifer were 'spending time together once again' after the reunion special 'stirred up feelings'.

A source said: 'After the reunion, it became clear that reminiscing over the past had stirred up feelings for both of them and that chemistry they'd always had to bury was still there.

'They began texting immediately after filming and, just last month, David flew from his home in New York to see Jen in LA.'

It was claimed the pair have been spending time at Jennifer's home, where she has treated David to dinners, with the source adding: 'They were also spotted drinking wine, deep in conversation, as they walked around one of Jen’s favourite vineyards in Santa Barbara, where it was clear there was lots of chemistry between them.'

However this has now been denied by David's representative. MailOnline has also contacted representatives for Aniston and Schwimmer for comment.
Amid the reports of the duo potentially becoming an item, thousands of Friends fans shared their excitement over the idea and urged them to get together.

Writing on Twitter, one fan penned: 'I really hope the rumour about Jennifer Aniston and David Schwimmer dating is true!!'

While another added: 'If Jennifer Aniston and David Schwimmer are actually together my whole life will be complete.'

This comes after Jennifer and David confessed that they had crushes on each other when filming began on Friends in 1994 - with the revelation coming during the HBO Max reunion special

'I mean, the first season, I had a major crush on Jen. At some point, we were crushing hard on each other,' David revealed.
David explained: 'But it was like two ships passing, because one of us was always in a relationship and we never crossed that boundary.

Matt LeBlanc, who played Joey Tribbiani, jokingly said: 'Bulls**t.'

Jennifer said that she had a conversation with Ross prior to their character's first kiss.

'Honestly, I remember saying one time to David, 'It's going to be such a bummer if the first time you and I actually kiss is going to be on national television,' Jennifer said. '

Jennifer noted: 'Sure enough, first time we kissed was in that coffee shop. So we just channeled all of our adoration and love for each other into Ross and Rachel.'

David and Jennifer also spent time together during breaks from rehearsal, with David recalling that they would 'cuddle on the couch.'

'We would spoon and fall asleep on the couch,' Jennifer said.
