Aniston, Butler love reports of their relationship

Washington, (ANI): Jennifer Aniston and Gerard Butler love-reading media reports about their relationship - because they find it humorous.

Rumours that the former 'Friends' star and the Scottish hunk were a real-life item were fuelled after they were snapped arm-in-arm on a romantic stroll on a Los Angeles beach earlier this summer. However, both stars have dismissed reports they are dating, although Butler insists he's flattered media has romantically linked him to Aniston.

"Everyone in Hollywood fancies me because I'm a manly man. Jen, Cameron Diaz, they all do... they love me. I mean, there aren't many real men in Hollywood, let's face it. No, I'm only joking, but it's so flattering that people could think that any of those girls would be interested in me," Contactmusic quoted him as saying.

Butler also revealed that he and the Aniston find the media reports about their relationship really amusing. "Jen and I love it when there's three rumours in a day. One day we were dating, we had split up and she was pregnant with John Mayer's baby," he added.
