Jennifer Aniston now loves her new sport, boxing. The 49-year-old star and her trainer, Leyon Azubuike, gush about each other in different interviews that make the dating rumors between them stronger.
A gossip magazine claimed Aniston and Azubuike are dating and the latter is now her boyfriend. It even called the 29-year-old trainer the "Friends" star's "new man."
However, Gossip Cop cleared Aniston and Azubuike are not more than friends. There is also no evidence to prove the two are in a relationship or even go out for a date. "The Break-Up" actress' spokesperson even said the rumors about their alleged relationship are all fabricated.
Azubuike co-owns the boxing studio and athletic performance facility Gloveworx in Los Angeles, where Aniston trains. He is a fitness instructor who also works with Jennifer Love Hewitt, Eric Braeden, and the rest of "Straight Outta Compton" cast.
In an interview with People, Azubuike called Aniston as a "natural athlete." He also gave admired Justin Theroux's ex-wife's "fitness abilities, determination, and dedication" to give everything she could when in training.
Azubuike even called Aniston diligent as she works out very hard whenever she hits the gym. "Whether it be a 45-minute session, whether it be a 2-hour session, she's always ready to go," he said. He continued to say the "We're the Millers" star is always "consistent and hardworking" that makes his job easier.
And Azubuike is not the only who gushed about Aniston. As the Brad Pitt's ex-wife graced the cover of InStyle magazine's September issue, she talked about her new hobby and also praised her trainer.
"I have a trainer named Leyon, who I believe hung the moon," she said.
Aniston revealed boxing is the longest workout she has ever done and stayed with apart from yoga. John Aniston and Nancy Dow's daughter also said there is something different about this sport and its mental aspect that makes her brain also workout.
Compared to biking, Aniston described boxing is making her do the drills. Generally, her new found love is making her feel amazing.
Boxing also helps her to cope up with all the stress. Aniston experiences a mental release of all the bad things she hears and sees every single day. She even imagines whom she wants to punch whenever she trains. However, she feels grateful the punching bag is not an actual person, although she has one individual in mind. "You know what I mean. It's all good," she explained.
