Jennifer Aniston was spotted at the same dinner party with ex-husband Justin Theroux on Friday.
The beauty and her ex were spotted in an image taken by a fan as they were joined by a select group of friends, including Howard Stern, his wife Beth, Jason Bateman, Jon Hamm and Jimmy Kimmel, among others, to an Israeli meal at Laser Loup in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
Aniston and Theroux have remained close over the years, even sending each other birthday wishes on social media.

Aniston is good friends with Jason and Jimmy, and she is currently filming Morning Show with Hamm.
A diner took the photo and sent it to the popular celebrity account TwoMe.
Justin was sitting next to a woman with long hair; it is not known if she was his date. Aniston was next to Justin’s boyfriend and another woman.
It comes after Aniston said in September 2021 that she was ready to date again.

The 53-year-old actress has enjoyed being single after splitting from Theroux in 2018, but she wants to find a new partner, she said.
But she noted that it had been difficult because of the coronavirus pandemic.
Speaking on SiriusXM’s Lunch With Bruce podcast, she said: ‘Nobody of importance has hit my radar yet. But I think it’s time. I think I’m ready to share myself with another. I didn’t want it for a long time, and I really liked being my own wife.
“Without, uh, being part of a couple where I’ve been part of a couple since I was 20. So there was something really cool about taking the time.”
But the former Friends star isn’t interested in using dating apps to find a partner.
She said: ‘No ginger and no Raya please. I am an old schoolgirl.

“That’s it, chemistry, and you see yourself on the other side of the room. People don’t come to people anymore, people don’t do that anymore. It’s strange.’
Besides thinking a first kiss is “pretty important”, Jennifer – who was also married to Brad Pitt and dated Vince Vaughn and John Mayer – has a list of “necessities” she’s looking for.
She said: “The ease with which the conversation goes the first time around. It’s kind of a good indicator, confidence, but not arrogance.
“Humour, please, please, please. Generous, uh, kind to people, you know, it’s just very few necessities.

“Fitness is important and not just about how you look…I want to be here for a long time and not be in a wheelchair at 80.”
The Brooklyn meal was notable because it’s been years since Stern left his home for a meal in public because he was afraid of contracting COVID.
But strangely in the photo of him at the table, he is not wearing a mask.

“Howard was there without even a mask. They were all seated at a large table…
“Stern told restaurant staff that it was his first night since the pandemic began,” the restaurant said, according to Page Six.
“Howard was seated next to Jimmy and at one point also appeared to be deep in conversation with Jon Hamm.”

Stern (pictured with his parents in 1993) revealed earlier this year that his father Ben (left) had died of COVID-19
The former AGT host’s fear may not be entirely unfounded as his father Ben Stern died earlier this year due to COVID-19 at the age of 99.
He didn’t say much about his father’s passing, but said he was working on new paintings with his father in mind.
DailyMail.com has contacted Stern’s representatives for comment.
