Jen Aniston & Justin Theroux: Can She Trust Him?
June 17 2011, Published 1:00 p.m. ET
To anyone at the MTV Movie Awards afterparty on June 5, it was clear that Jennifer Aniston’s smartwater bubbles big-time for new boyfriend — and co-star in the upcoming Wanderlust — Justin Theroux.
“They never left each other’s side,” a party guest tells OK! in this week's issue. “He even walked her to the restroom and waited until she came out. They were on the patio and she kept rubbing his back.”
Normally restrained, Jen went full-on with the PDA.
“Justin held her in his arms while they waited for the elevator and kissed in front of everyone,” the source says. “Jen beamed the whole night; she truly hasn’t been this happy in years.”
Jen, 42, is so smitten that she and Justin, 39, plan to cohabit in her new NYC apartment. They’re definitely making plans for the future.
All of this has pals worried.
“There’s a definite feeling among Jen’s friends that Jen could be moving too fast,” an insider tells OK!. “She’s only known this guy a short time. It seems nuts — she’s already moved him into her place in L.A.”
The pair met while filming Wanderlust last year and the chemistry was immediate. “They kept things platonic because he was in a relationship,” another source says. “But he broke it off a couple months ago and they reconnected right away.”

While Justin definitely qualifies as hunkish — rent Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle for evidence — Jen is just as drawn to his mind. “Justin is a fantastic writer. He wrote Tropic Thunder, one of Jen’s favorite movies,” a source tells OK!. “He has a lot of other stories and screenplays. He reads them to her before bed. She thinks he’s a genius.”
Jen’s trail of heartbreak since splitting with Brad Pitt in 2005, which runs from A-listers John Mayer and Gerard Butler to less-famous actors like Chris Gartin, means that those close to her tend to worry about her men’s motives. “The lure of Jen’s star-studded world is something a lot of guys have fallen for, versus Jen the person,” the source says. “It’s great to see her happy but, to many friends, this is too much, too soon.”
