DAVID Schwimmer has denied that he is dating former Friends co-star Jennifer Aniston after reports claimed they'd "grown close".

The popular pairing won the world's hearts as on/off couple Rachel Green and Ross Geller in the hit 90s sitcom.

And they sent rumours into fever pitch when they admitted to having a "major crush" on each other while filming the show during its reunion episode earlier this year.

A source recently claimed to Closer magazine: "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."

The insider added that Jen has been cooking dinners for David at her home and they'd been spotted visiting a winery in Santa Barbara together.

However, a rep for 54-year-old David has said that there is "no truth" to the rumours of a romance.

In HBO's Friends special in May, Jen and David admitted to "crushing hard" on each other over the years, but said the timing was never quite right to act on it.

David told host James Corden: "I had a major crush on Jen," to which she replied: "It was reciprocated."

David then added: "We were both crushing hard on each other, but it was like two ships passing. One of us was always in a relationship and we never crossed that boundary."

Jennifer was previously married to Hollywood hunks Brad Pitt and Justin Theroux, who she split from in 2017.

Meanwhile, David was married to English artist and photographer Zoe Buckman, who he also broke up with in 2017.
