Reese Witherspoon Praises Aniston's Friendship Skills

Reese Witherspoon has nothing but love for her longtime pal Jennifer Aniston, especially when it comes to her ability to maintain positive relationships with her exes. During the November 3 episode of Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard, Witherspoon opened up about Aniston’s remarkable knack for keeping things friendly with former flames.

In a lively chat with co-host Monica Padman, the conversation touched on how Aniston, now 56, is far from what the tabloids might suggest. Witherspoon, 49, was quick to defend her friend, pointing out that Aniston isn’t dwelling in the past. "She's not who people think she is, like holding on to old things," Witherspoon shared, adding a touch of sincerity to the discussion.

"By the way, at her 50th birthday, one of the biggest testaments I can say to what a wonderful person she is. People from her teenage years, people from her 20s, people who work in her home, every ex-husband, ex-boyfriend was there," Witherspoon recalled, highlighting Aniston's high spiritual integrity.

Aniston's 50th Birthday Bash: A Testament to Her Character

Witherspoon painted a vivid picture of Aniston's 50th birthday party, where the guest list was a testament to her character. The star-studded event saw familiar faces from all walks of Aniston's life – including her exes. This only reinforced Witherspoon's admiration for Aniston’s ability to bridge the gaps of time and past relationships.

"She's not a burner of bridges," Shepard chimed in, a sentiment Witherspoon wholeheartedly agreed with. Aniston, who was famously married to Brad Pitt from 2000 to 2005 and Justin Theroux from 2015 to 2018, has always kept things civil. Now, she's reportedly in a relationship with Jim Curtis, a hypnotherapist and life coach.

Friendship and Differences: Witherspoon and Aniston

Beyond the birthday bash, Witherspoon and Aniston’s friendship is one of mutual respect and understanding, despite their differences. "We've known each other so long and we're very different people," Witherspoon noted. Shepard humorously added, "But opposites attract, and it's a natural thing."

Witherspoon went on to describe Aniston as "really warm and welcoming" – a big host who's always ready to embrace everyone with open arms. The Morning Show co-stars have shared countless moments over their 25-year friendship, and Witherspoon couldn’t help but reflect on how life has softened her edges, making her less rigid than her "Tracy Flick-like" days.

In the end, it’s clear that Aniston's approach to life and relationships has left a lasting impression on those around her, especially her close friend Reese Witherspoon.
