John Mayer isn’t the only Hollywood hound the unlucky-in-love Jennifer Aniston and Jessica Simpson have in common.

Jessica and Gerard Butler had a date at NYC’s Soho House Tuesday night, with friends including her hair stylist pal, Ken Paves, as chaperones, celebrity spies told The New York Post’s Page Six Column on Thursday.

“They were at a table with friends, but Jessica and Gerard, who sat next to each other, seemed to only be interested in each other and chatted for hours….They were laughing and flirting and eventually left together, along with Ken.”
