Jennifer Aniston Posts Sweet Birthday Tribute to the "Most Generous of Humans," Courteney Cox

Jennifer Aniston and Courteney Cox met after being cast in "Friends," but their real-life relationship long outlived the hit show's 10-season run. It's like the best version of work wives turning into real-life BFFs.

In addition to starring together on the hit NBC sitcom for a decade, their offscreen bond has mirrored Rachel and Monica's: Cox named Aniston the godmother of her daughter, Coco Arquette, in 2004 and was by Aniston's side as the maid of honor during her 2015 wedding to Justin Theroux.

On June 15, 2023, Aniston wished Cox a happy 59th birthday with the sweetest Instagram tribute, writing, "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." Alongside her message, Aniston shared a gallery of photos of the besties throughout the years, the first being a snap of them greeting each other with a friendly kiss at what looks to be a cookout.

"I love you Jenny Louise," Cox wrote in the comments of Aniston's post. And we're not the only ones who love this incomparable duo's friendship. "Love this beautiful / talented / brilliant woman so much ! Happy Bday," Aniston's "Morning Show" costar Reese Witherspoon, who appeared in two "Friends" episodes, wrote under the post.

In February 2023, Aniston expressed similar sentiments in a speech during Cox's Hollywood Walk of Fame induction ceremony. "To be friends with Courteney is to be family with Courteney, and she is responsible for all of that," she said. "From the beginning of when we met her, she was immediately inclusive, warm, loving, interested in everything about you."

Cox and Aniston have been together through career milestones, breakups, and personal triumphs, and we're celebrating their decades-long friendship with their best photos over the years.
