Among them was Selena Gomez, with the beauty entrepreneurs known to have a close bond, sharing the same manager, Aleen Keshishian. And according to Aniston, the Rare Beauty founder is even responsible for getting her on social media.

"You were in the bathroom wearing a black dress," Gomez previously recalled of their first meeting, during their joint appearance on the Ellen DeGeneres Show back in 2020. "I walked into the bathroom and I saw you and you were just so nice.

"My heart stopped and I freaked out and I ran to my mom and I was like, ‘Oh my God, I just saw Jennifer Aniston,'" she later continued.

"We’ve known each other for years," Aniston replied. "You’ve been to my house, we’ve had pizza."

Aniston also went on to talk about her friendship with FRIENDS co-star Courteney Cox in the interview, opening up about their love language.

"We usually talk interior design," she explained. "It kind of bores people to tears when we get into a room together. But it's what we love. It's our love language. What haven't I learned from Courtney?"

"I try to focus on the beautiful things that are happening in life and where can I contribute," Aniston later explained in the interview. "I love my work, I love my dogs, I love my friends, and I’m excited about creating new things."

Well, this is lovely.
