Mag reports Aniston dating British model

LOS ANGELES - Actress Jennifer Aniston has a new boy “friend,” People magazine reported on Wednesday.

The former star of smash hit television comedy “Friends” and ex-wife of actor Brad Pitt has been dating British model Paul Sculfor, 36, since the two met at a West Hollywood restaurant a couple of months ago, according to the celebrity magazine.

Aniston, 38, and Sculfor have been seen out at several Los Angeles area dining spots and spent much of the recent Memorial Day holiday weekend together, the magazine reported, citing Sculfor’s friends.

A spokesman for Aniston declined to comment on what he called “premature reports about Jennifer’s personal life.”

The actress, who routinely tops lists of beautiful Hollywood stars, has long seen her romantic life followed by media outlets and celebrity TV shows since she divorced Pitt in October 2005.

Pitt now has a family with actress Angelina Jolie.

Since her divorce, Aniston had been romantically linked with actor Vince Vaughn, her co-star in the 2006 romantic film comedy “The Break-Up.” The pair broke off their relationship in real life late last year, and since then Aniston was not believed to be dating anyone seriously until now.

Sculfor grew up in Upminster, east of London, and was a gymnast in school before trying a career as a boxer. But he lost interest in boxing and took up modeling after his mother entered him into a contest on a whim, according to People.

The British model hit it big in his home country in a Levi’s TV ad portraying a fisherman who becomes the objective of obsession for three mermaids.
