Jennifer Aniston was spotted enjoying a romantic date with a mystery man earlier this week and it has now been revealed he is Hard Rock Cafe heir Harry Morton, who briefly romanced Lindsay Lohan in 2006.

The 41-year-old Jen and 29-year-old Harry  spent two-and-a-half hours having an intimate dinner at the exclusive Sunset Tower Hotel in Hollywood on Wednesday night.

An onlooker said: "Jennifer was at a cosy corner table with a good looking younger man. She was twirling her hair a lot and flirting shamelessly.

"Jennifer looked really good. She had on white jeans and a sexy black tank top. When her mystery date left for the restroom, she took the opportunity to primp by reapplying her lipstick."

After the date, Jen  slipped out the back door to avoid the waiting paparazzi.

Although Harry has racked up a couple of high profile girlfriends  – Lilo and Heroes actress Hayden Panettiere – he may not be that keen on dating another celebrity as he has previously spoken of his dislike of having lots of publicity.

He said: "It is the worst thing of all time... I'll be happy if it never happens again. There are people out there who just love it. Not me."

Hmmmm… we’re pretty sure that for Jen, it’ll be worth it!
