Man Crashes Car Into Jennifer Aniston’s Bel-Air Gate

Fortunately, she wasn’t harmed in the crash despite the intruder smashing through the gate. Law enforcement officials said her security team quickly responded to the situation. They detained the driver before the LAPD arrived. The man, who is believed to be in his 70s, was arrested for felony vandalism. Police have launched an investigation to determine his motives for the crash. The incident was quite shocking as an intruder smashes through such a high-profile residence.
Jennifer Aniston Plans to Move to Montecito
Despite the frightening incident at her Bel-Air mansion, Jennifer Aniston is preparing to leave the property. Aniston’s relocation comes after the recent drama where an intruder smashed her gate. She recently bought a nearly \$15 million house in Montecito. Aniston purchased the Tuscan-style farmhouse from Oprah Winfrey in September 2022 for \$14.8 million. Over the past three years, she has been busy renovating the four-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom home. Aerial photos from March show the renovations nearing completion. It seems she is getting ready to make Montecito her main residence soon.
Montecito Becomes a Hot Spot for Celebrities
Aniston is the latest celebrity to leave Los Angeles and settle in the affluent town of Montecito. Other stars, like Gwyneth Paltrow, Cameron Diaz, Adam Levine, and Ariana Grande, have already moved there. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have lived in Montecito since 2020. The area is becoming a popular choice for those seeking privacy and a quieter lifestyle outside the spotlight of Los Angeles.
Rumors of a Relationship with Pedro Pascal
The crash at Aniston’s home also follows rumors about her and actor Pedro Pascal. The two were seen having a lengthy dinner date in West Hollywood in March. However, Pascal, 50, recently addressed the rumors. He clarified that there was no romantic connection between them. Instead, Pascal explained that he was simply trying to convince Aniston to join the cast of the hit HBO show “The Last of Us.” He also mentioned that he wouldn’t mind landing a role on her Apple TV+ drama, “The Morning Show.” Pascal expressed admiration for Aniston, saying, “I would do anything for Jennifer.” He praised her for her ability to connect with others.
