Jennifer Aniston says she and Morning Show co-star Reese Witherspoon are close because they “share all sorts of heartaches in life and love.”

Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon have shared with the world that in addition to being co-stars on The Morning Show, they are also close friends.

Jennifer, 54, and Reese, 47, appeared to be having fun as they posed together for the cover of Variety's Emmy issue.

In their interview, they openly expressed how close they have felt since they first worked together on “Friends” about 20 years ago.

“We are partners.” We are friends. “We are friends and share all sorts of heartaches in life, love and everything,” Jennifer told the outlet.

Reese, who created the show through her company Hello Sunshine, said: “It's comforting. It's just mutual respect and years of experience.”

“And I think we're both in disbelief that we're both still fooling around!”

“It's a great privilege that we're still working at this level.” “It's an honor to be able to contribute to something that really says something about the world we live in today.”

The two have known each other since Reese guest-starred on Friends, where she played Rachel's little sister.

“You still look like a little girl to me, like my little sister,” the Cake actress explained. “Like I always said, 'baby with baby'.”

“I was a baby with a baby when I was on the set of Friends,” Reese replied. I thought, “I’m breastfeeding! Do you want to see my baby?”

“Everyone is great. 'Your two children – look at them!' the Switch star exclaimed.

“I have three,” Reese corrected.

Three! “That’s what I meant,” her buddy said.

“It's hard to keep track. “By the way, sometimes I forget,” admitted the loving mother.

Reese has Ava and Deacon with ex Ryan Phillippe and Tennessee with ex Jim Toth.

The issue's cover referred to the couple as “working wives” and they were open about their long and loving relationship.
