Jennifer Aniston opened up about her TV family on Sunday, especially her friend and co-star Reese Witherspoon.
The actress, 55, who stunned in a strappy maroon and red floral dress, made the comments at an Emmy’s For Your Consideration event for The Morning Show Sunday evening in Los Angeles.
‘We have a real interesting relationship. It’s like we’re family for sure,’ Aniston told the audience at the panel discussion which included her The Morning Show co-stars Karen Pittman, Tig Notaro, Billy Crudup, Jon Hamm, Mark Duplass, and Nestor Carbonell.
Witherspoon was unable to attend the event.
‘We love to hate each other, and we love to love each other, and I think that’s sort of a really fun dynamic that Reese and I get to play,’ the Emmy winner said of her character Alex Levy and Witherspoon’s Bradley Jackson.

‘And, of course, we would like to be together forever, I would think. I hope, but … we really don’t know what’s going to happen.’
Aniston and Witherspoon have been enjoying a family-style relationship since 2000, when Witherspoon, then an up-and-coming actress, played Rachel Green’s little sister Jill on two episodes of Friends.
‘We met on the set of Friends,’ Witherspoon told Harper’s Bazaar in 2019.
‘I played her sister. I was 23 years old and had just had a baby. I was nursing Ava on set, and Jen just kept going, “You have a baby?” I was like, “I know, it’s weird,”‘ she said.
The versatile actress and producer said Aniston ‘was so sweet to me. I was really nervous, and she was like, “Oh, my gosh—don’t worry about it!” I marveled at her ability to perform in front of a live audience like that with no nerves.’
‘They would change all the lines and she was just so effortlessly affable, bubbly, and sunny. We’ve been friends ever since.’
Where their on-screen friendship will take them in season four of The Morning Show is anyone’s gues
Alex was dealing with her betrayal of on-screen boyfriend Paul Marks, played by Jon Hamm, who wanted to buy UBA and sell off pieces of the network.
Bradley and her brother, Hal, were off to talk to the FBI about their roles in the January 6 insurrection.
‘I think the big question this year is, who and what can you trust?’ said showrunner Charlotte Stoudt.
‘Can you trust your co-workers? Can you trust your own eyes? Can you trust what you see in a world of AI and defects? It’s a tricky world,’ she explained.
