They live within a few minutes of one another, have mutual pals, both love dogs, and even worked together on a movie back in 2011! It should be a recipe for instant friendship, but insiders say Jennifer Aniston and Meghan Markle are just not clicking. But that\u2019s not putting off the Duchess of Sussex, who\u2019s told insiders she believes cosying up to the movie star is the key to finally unlocking Hollywood\u2019s inner circle and has enlisted the help of fellow A-lister, Ellen DeGenere.<\/p>\n
\u201cMeghan\u2019s been pushing for a meet up with Jen for months now,\u201d says an insider close to the 42-year-old, who lives with husband Prince Harry and their two children, Archie, four, and two-year-old Lilibet in a $15million mansion in Montecito, close to celebrity neighbours that include the Friends superstar, Ellen, and Ariana Grande. \u201cEver since she and Harry realised they\u2019re in the same neighbourhood as Jen, Meghan\u2019s been hoping they might start hanging out and getting to know each other better. She\u2019s had no luck at all so far and is begging their mutual friend Ellen to intervene and make it happen. Meghan is convinced that a friendship with Jen is what she needs to get the Hollywood seal of approval.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jen has no desire to cosy up to the Duchess of Sussex<\/p>\n

Jen, 54, moved into the area earlier this year, after purchasing a $15million farmhouse from Oprah Winfrey last autumn. At the time, Meghan told friends she hoped a friendship would spark, especially after they were both in attendance at Ellen\u2019s house in February, when the former talk-show host surprised wife Portia De Rossi with a vow renewal. In a video from the event, we saw Meghan mingling with guests alongside Harry, 38, including Jen, Kris Jenner, Gwyneth Paltrow, Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom. As Closer reported at the time, Meghan was keen to befriend as many stars as possible, with rumours she might get an invite to the Friends star\u2019s housewarming party. It comes after a pre-Suits Meghan and Jen both appeared in Horrible Bosses 12 years ago. The then-unknown actress had a small role as a delivery driver, while Jen starred as nymphomaniac Dr Julia Harris. It was reported that Meghan bad-mouthed the production after seeing her role cut down and insiders say Jen \u2013 who was previously married to actor Brad Pitt \u2013 was also put out when she heard rumours that the young actress had told friends she wanted to be the \u201cfuture Mrs Pitt\u201d. There was further awkwardness earlier this year when fans pointed out that Jen had started following a controversial social media account known to target Meghan. She even reportedly \u2018liked\u2019 a post calling Harry the worst brother in the entire world. Our source continues, \u201cMeghan\u2019s mingled with Jen a few times in group settings, and Jennifer has always been very nice, but then when Meghan tries to follow up \u2013 asking for a number or suggesting a dog walk or hike \u2013 it goes nowhere. She\u2019s frustrated but not ready to give up, so she\u2019s pressuring Ellen to step in.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meghan and Harry want to be Hollywood royalty<\/p>\n

But it may not be as easy as Ellen, 65, playing matchmaker. We\u2019re told, \u201cJust because they have a few things in common, doesn\u2019t mean Jen is open to being Meghan\u2019s friend. Jennifer is very protective of who she lets into her circle and says she really doesn\u2019t need any new people in her life right now. She\u2019s been burned so much over the years, so is very wary of people that pursue her like this. Of course, Jen\u2019s flattered by Meghan\u2019s efforts to get to know her better but she\u2019s just not in the market for new pals. She\u2019s extremely well stocked in that department and, truth be told, the idea of it simply doesn\u2019t float her boat. She\u2019s also slammed with work at the moment. She hasn\u2019t spent as much time in Montecito as she\u2019d like to have done since buying the property. Even though she bought the house off Oprah a while back, she\u2019s still very much tied to LA. Montecito is more of a second home at this point. And when she does head to Santa Barbara, she wants to see her actual friends! She\u2019ll drop in on Oprah, raise a glass with Orlando and Katy, and enjoy dinner with Ellen and Portia. These are people she\u2019s known and trusted for years now and they\u2019re right at the top of her list of favourites. She prefers to have small, intimate get-togethers and isn\u2019t keen on the idea of extending that core group or making a big effort to meet new, younger celebrities.\u201d<\/p>\n

As Closer previously reported, Meghan has been desperate to make an impression on the A-list elite since she and the Duke quit royal life in 2020 and moved to California. But despite one sushi lunch with Cameron Diaz and Gwyneth Paltrow \u2013 along with their husbands Benji Madden and Brad Falchuk \u2013 in May, the couple\u2019s attempts have mostly fallen flat. They\u2019ve apparently lost friends, including Victoria and David Beckham, who reportedly fell out with the Sussexes after a \u201cheated phone call\u201d. Former England captain, David \u2013 and once close friend of Harry\u2019s \u2013 was said to be \u201cabsolutely bloody furious\u201d when Meghan suggested the Spice Girl had leaked stories to the tabloids about her. The Beckhams were just two in a sea of famous faces at the couple\u2019s star-studded wedding back in 2018, with a guestlist that included Elton John, Priyanka Chopra, George and Amal Clooney, Idris Elba, Tom Hardy, James Corden, Carey Mulligan, Serena Williams and Oprah. But rumour has it many of these relationships have fallen by the wayside following the couple\u2019s Netflix docu-series, Harry & Meghan, and the Prince\u2019s bombshell memoir, Spare. A recent source revealed that George and Amal are \u201cno longer pals\u201d with the pair, while Orlando and Katy are, \u201cnow closer to King Charles.\u201d There have also been whispers that things have deteriorated with talkshow host, Oprah, with whispers that \u201cthe relationship between the neighbours has become fraught\u201d. <\/p>\n
Our source continues, \u201cObviously, it doesn\u2019t help matters that Meghan has a reputation for losing friends fast. She and Harry seem to be very loose lipped and a lot of people in town are keeping their distance for exactly that reason. Jen\u2019s well aware of that and of the drama they seem to bring wherever they go. It\u2019s nothing personal, and Jen\u2019s not trash-talking or telling either of them to stay away from her \u2013 nothing like that! But she\u2019s certainly not reciprocating any of Meghan\u2019s efforts and that\u2019s a huge disappointment. Although, knowing Meghan, there\u2019s no way she\u2019ll give up on the project without a fight…\u201d<\/p>\n
