Jennifer Aniston and Orlando Bloom were seen maintaining a noticeable distance from each other as they arrived at London’s Heathrow Airport today. The two, who have been associated romantically before, coincidentally found themselves on the same 12-hour British Airways flight from Los Angeles to Heathrow Terminal 5. Although they made efforts to avoid being captured in photos together, it was clear they were part of the same group as they were accompanied by their shared manager, Aleen Keshishian.
Jennifer Aniston and Orlando Bloom touched down at Heathrow’s Terminal 5 in London after a lengthy flight from Los Angeles.
Safety distance: Aniston, Bloom, and their manager Aleen Keshishan were waiting for an elevator at Terminal 5. However, as they waited for the lift to take them down to the car park where their chauffeur-driven cars were parked, they found themselves standing next to each other. Upon leaving the terminal, Aniston’s manager Keshishian tried to shield her from a paparazzo trying to snap a photo of the actress. Aniston’s visit to London means that she won’t be able to celebrate Thanksgiving in the US today. Despite this, the 40-year-old former Friends star appeared to be in good spirits as she walked through the terminal wearing high-heeled boots, denim jeans, a white T-shirt, and a leather jacket, all while sporting a big smile on her face.
Celebrating Thanksgiving in London: Aniston’s absence from U.S. holiday festivities
After enjoying the sunny skies of Los Angeles, Kent native Bloom, 32, seemed less than thrilled to be back in the cold of London.
Following the completion of filming for his latest movie Sympathy For Delicious in September, Bloom has been taking it easy before diving into his next project, The Red Circle.
While Bloom has been away from his Australian model girlfriend Miranda Kerr, who has been traveling the world as she transitions from commercial to high fashion modeling.
Kerr recently turned heads in the Victoria’s Secret fashion show and posed topless for the 2010 Pirelli calendar shoot.

Former pals Bloom and Aniston were spotted mingling at a star-studded Hollywood event back in March 2008. Even though Bloom had been in a relationship with Kerr for a couple of years at that point, rumors still swirled about a possible romance between him and Aniston.
They were reportedly quite flirtatious during the party held at Eva Longoria’s restaurant. However, Aniston’s spokesperson quickly shut down any speculation about a romantic connection, stating that they were simply good friends with a lot of mutual acquaintances.
Their friendship dates back even further, with sightings of them together at a Mexican resort in 2007 for the wedding of a common friend. They were also photographed socializing at Cannes in 2004 when Aniston supported Pitt, who starred alongside Bloom in the film Troy.
According to sources close to Bloom, he harbored a crush on Aniston for quite some time. Their recent encounter at Heathrow Airport reignited speculation about their relationship, but it seems that their bond remains strictly platonic.
