Jennifer Aniston is giving fans a rare glimpse into her private life.
The beloved Friends star took to Instagram on Monday, June 30, and shared a series of cozy snapshots with her friends and canine companions.
“Happy Monday 👋🏼🐾❤️👯♀️,” Aniston, 56, captioned the post.
The first photo features the actress hanging out with her adorable dog Lord Chesterfield, whom she rescued in 2020. Other snaps include Aniston kissing pal Sean Hayes on the cheek, and snuggling up against longtime bestie Courteney Cox. She is also shown spending time with friends Kristin Hahn and Andrea Bendewald as well as Clyde, her Schnauzer mix.
“All the love in these pics! ❤️,” remarked Ali Wentworth in the comment section of the post, while Elizabeth Perkins wrote: “Happiness. ❤️”
“Thanks for sharing these precious moments with us!! Love seeing this,” gushed another fan.
Aniston remains an A-lister in a world where increasingly anyone and everyone can achieve 15 minutes of fame, yet she rarely opens up about her personal life. On Instagram, she tends to keep things professional, whether she’s posting ads for SmartWater (she’s a celeb spokesperson) or her LolaVie hair care line, or delighting the Friends fandom with a nostalgic video. In May, Aniston announced the air date for The Morning Show’s fourth season, where she reprises her role as broadcast journalist Alex Levy.
“We’re baaa-aaack September 17 🥰🌅‼️,” she posted alongside a photo of costars Reese Witherspoon, Karen Pittman and Marion Cotillard.
Earlier this year, she had a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it cameo in HBO’s The Last of Us, which featured Ellie (Bella Ramsey) flipping through an Aughts-era People magazine with Aniston on the cover. The headline: “Jennifer’s sexy nights.”
“Of all things to survive the apocalypse,” Aniston quipped in an Instagram Story in April.
She and Pedro Pascal, who stars on The Last of Us, are good friends.
“I would do anything for Jennifer,” Pascal, 50, told Extra in March, when asked about a potential cameo in The Morning Show, an AppleTV+ production.
Jennifer Aniston loves to gush about her friendships, especially her close bond with her Friends costars Courteney Cox and Lisa Kudrow. “To be friends with Courteney is to be family with Courteney,” Aniston said at Cox’s Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony in February 2023, which was also attended by Kudrow. “She was immediately inclusive — […]
“She is that person [who is good in a crisis],” Pascal revealed. “The best way that I could describe it is I remember, if you’re in a party setting and you make eye contact with Jen, she just knows exactly what’s going on with you and knows exactly how to make you feel.”
The actor joked that if “you’re really high at a party” and in danger of freaking out, Aniston will be there to help calm you down.
“Make eye contact with Jen Aniston and she’ll calm your central nervous system,” he added. “You’ll be like, ‘Oh no, everything’s fine. I’m safe.’”
