Jennifer Aniston narrowly avoids ex John Mayer during Los Angeles visit

Jennifer Aniston narrowly missed crossing paths with ex John Mayer during visit to Hollywood hotel

Jennifer Aniston narrowly avoided running into her former boyfriend John Mayer during a recent outing in Los Angeles, according to reports.

The actress was seen visiting the Sunset Tower Hotel in Hollywood on Thursday evening, where she arrived with a group of friends approximately 40 minutes after Mayer had already left the venue. The timing meant the former couple did not cross paths during the visit.

According to the Daily Mail, Aniston, 56, was spotted exiting the well-known hotel, which houses a popular bar and restaurant frequented by celebrities.

She was accompanied by several friends, including Molly McNearney, the wife of television host Jimmy Kimmel. Earlier the same evening, Mayer, 48, had been seen leaving the same location alone, carrying a book under his arm.

Aniston and Mayer dated on and off for around a year between 2008 and 2009 before ending their relationship. Following their split, Mayer later made public comments about their age difference, which attracted attention at the time.

The recent near-encounter comes as Aniston is reported to be in a new relationship. She is said to be dating Jim Curtis, a 50-year-old hypnotist and self-described love guru. No further details about the relationship have been publicly confirmed by Aniston.

Neither Aniston nor Mayer has commented publicly on the reported timing of their respective visits to the hotel.
