Thirty-one years later, and they’ve still got each other’s backs!
Jennifer Aniston and Courteney Cox sent the internet into a nostalgia-fueled frenzy this week when they reunited for a stunning waterside selfie. The Friends alums, who first met on the set of their legendary sitcom in , took to Instagram to show off their evergreen bond—and a little bit of their signature wit.
In the glowing photo, Aniston, , rocked a chic black ruffled tank top paired with a gold heart pendant and a diamond-encrusted silver necklace. Cox, , looked effortlessly cool in a dark brown button-up shirt and classic gold hoop earrings.
The pair shared a soft smile for the camera, but it was the caption that really got fans talking. “We look so cute next to each other… so do they,” the BFFs wrote, adding a cheeky winking emoji.
The “they” in question? A second slide in the carousel revealed a perfectly paired duo of their business ventures: Jennifer’s LolaVie haircare and Courteney’s Homecourt body wash.
The post quickly became a magnet for love on social media. Fans flooded the comments section on Instagram and X (formerly Twitter) to celebrate the decades-long connection. One fan summed it up perfectly, writing, “Love this friendship. Just what we all want to see.”
Even fellow A-listers couldn’t help but chime in. Actress Michelle Monaghan commented, “This duo,” accompanied by a string of heart emojis.
This latest hang isn’t just about a pretty photo; it’s a masterclass in women supporting women. Since Aniston launched LolaVie in , the line has exploded into a staple at Ulta Beauty. Not to be outdone, Cox followed suit a year later with Homecourt, a luxury “beauty for the home” line.
“I’m so into design and it’s something that you would leave on your counter,” Cox previously told PEOPLE of her aesthetic. “If you’re going to have dish soap and you’re going to have a hand soap, you don’t want to hide it… these are so pretty. I’m really happy about it.”
But for these two, the bond goes much deeper than their professional success. Aniston is famously the godmother to Cox’s daughter, Coco, .
During Cox’s Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony, Aniston got emotional while describing their sisterhood. “To be friends with Courteney is to be family with Courteney,” she told the crowd. “She was immediately inclusive—warm, loving, interested in everything about you.”
Aniston even admitted she was a “huge fan” of Cox before they became co-stars and was “really nervous” to meet her. Clearly, those nerves are long gone!
The duo also makes sure to keep the rest of the Central Perk gang in the loop. Just last July, Cox celebrated Lisa Kudrow’s nd birthday with a touching tribute, calling her “bold, smart, and articulate.”
While it’s been a few years since we’ve seen Rachel and Monica on screen together, this latest viral moment proves that their real-life friendship is the greatest spin-off of all.
