You know the drill – two celebrities meet, share a meal and a smile – next thing you know they are a couple and getting engaged.

Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Aniston are no different.

The public is obsessed with seeing Aniston live happily ever after.  After sharing a meal – Cooper and Aniston were announced as a couple.

While in Paris, Cooper was asked about his relationship with Aniston and responded by saying,

“She’s a friend of mine. Simply, simply, just a friend.”  He further clarified, “In America, its not like it is here. She’s someone who is super, super known. Famous. If someone says ‘hello’ to her, it’s given that he’s fallen in love with her. So, no. No. She’s a very, very interesting woman, but she’s simply a friend. “

“We made a film together” – He’s Just Not That Into You – “but we didn’t have any scenes together. I got hired in at the beginning of the casting, and my part was solely with Scarlett Johansson and Jennifer Connelley. Which isn’t bad at all.”

Next up for Cooper – a reunion with Jennifer Garner, in Valentine’s Day. Also starring Julia Roberts, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Biel, Jessica Alba and Ashton Kutcher, the film begins production in September.

What do you think – couple or not a couple??
