It’s been almost two decades since Friends aired its final episode, but the friendship between the show’s stars Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matthew Perry, David Schwimmer, and Matt LeBlanc has only strengthened since then. On Courteney’s 59th birthday, Jennifer took to Instagram to share a heartfelt tribute to her former co-star and off-screen best friend. The post featured a series of photos and videos that put their years-long friendship on display.
From Friends to Real-Life Besties
Jennifer’s post included a photo of the two stars hugging and kissing, which appears to be from their Friends days, as well as a behind-the-scenes clip of them as Rachel Green and Monica Geller getting into hysterics after Courteney accidentally spit on her co-star in the middle of a scene. Jennifer also shared a black-and-white shot of them in a parking lot where she is holding Courteney’s legs as she does a handstand, as well as a current photo of the two looking as stunning as they did during their time on Friends.
In her caption, Jennifer wrote, “I’d like to take a moment and wish my dearest CC the happiest of birthdays. If you’ve been lucky enough to know her, you know how incredible she is. The biggest heart and most generous of humans. I love you, Cox-N-Hammer! Happy Birthday.”
A Flood of Congratulatory Messages
Jennifer’s tribute to Courteney quickly garnered attention from fans and friends alike, with many leaving congratulatory messages for Courteney and gushing compliments about their friendship. One follower wrote, “Needed a smile today, this did it,” while others added, “Icons!” and “I LOVE YOU BOTH!!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY.” Real estate titan Barbara Corcoran fittingly added, “Always there for you!” next to a red heart emoji.
The friendship between Jennifer and Courteney has lasted through the years and has been a source of inspiration to many. From their on-screen chemistry as Rachel and Monica to their real-life support and love for each other, their friendship is truly the friendship of the decade.
