"She isn’t looking to sell her place in L.A. just yet, but she is planning to test out Montecito as a home base once it’s all done," a source told a news outlet.

The insider said the Friends alum, 56, has "a ton of friends that live" in the area, such as Rob Lowe and his wife, Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom, Cameron Diaz and husband Benji Madden and Ellen DeGeneres and wife Portia de Rossi when they're not overseas in the United Kingdom.

"There’s a big contingent of A-listers that live in Montecito and Santa Barbara, and more seem to be moving all the time," the insider pointed out, noting Aniston is "very social" and "loves the idea of being able to have gatherings with her neighbors."

"She also loves that it’s a lot more laid back there, so when she does want to get away, she can genuinely get some privacy," the insider explained. "It’s a little like Malibu 30 years ago. She’s excited to make a new life there and maybe even do some dating."

Fans first noticed some flirty vibes between the stars when the Narcos alum crashed Aniston and The Morning Show costar Reese Witherspoon's red carpet interview at the Critics Choice Awards in February.

"Do you want to be on it [the next season of The Morning Show]?" Aniston asked Pascal, as Witherspoon added, "wait, we actually do have a really good part for him."

"Pitch it to me now," Pascal eagerly responded.
