Jennifer Aniston and Sandra Bullock recall both dating actor Tate Donovan

Sandra Bullock and Jennifer Aniston revealed in a new interview that they first met through their mutual ex, actor Tate Donovan.

“We were introduced by our former boyfriend. I say ‘our’ because you and I both partook of this one human being,” Bullock, 55, joked in Interview Magazine, with Aniston, 51, adding, “Yes, we did. That’s a beautiful way of saying it.”

Bullock dated her “Love Potion No. 9” co-star, 56, from 1990-1994 while the recent SAG Award-winner dated Donovan between 1995-1998. He also appeared on “Friends” as Rachel’s boyfriend, Joshua, for five episodes, but the couple were already on the outs when he got the role.

“He seems to have a type,” Aniston said, with Bullock agreeing he likes women who are “Talented, funny, kind, introspective” and “generous.”

Jennifer Aniston was more than 'Friends' with these men

“Lovers of architecture, lovers of interior design,” Aniston added.

Aniston connected with ex-husband Brad Pitt during the SAG Awards and shared dessert with ex John Mayer ahead of the Oscars, yet remains single. Bullock is currently dating boyfriend Bryan Randall, a well-known photographer based in Los Angeles.
