Jennifer Aniston and David Schwimmer have sent the internet into a meltdown after rumours of them dating surfaced.
As per the latest reports, the famous on-screen couple from hit sitcom Friends is dating each other after the show’s reunion episode.
For the unversed, Aniston and Schwimmer (who play Ross and Rachel on the show) confessed to having a crush on each other.
This stirred up their past emotions, reportedly, after which Aniston and Schwimmer started spending more time together at her Los Angeles (LA) home.
The “chemistry they’d always had to bury was still there,” said the report about Ross and Rachel’s connection.
The report also revealed that the duo had started “texting immediately after filming and just last month” Schwimmer flew all the way from his home in New York to see Aniston in LA.
As per the details, the rumoured couple has been cooking dinners together, taking long walks, and enjoying quality time.
On the other hand, Schwimmer has denied claims he is growing closer to his Friends co-star.
Pakistani diva Ayesha Omar expressed her joy over it and called the news “the cutest thing ever.”
Jennifer Aniston, during a recent interview with InStyle, revealed she had to cut ties with a few people in her life over their vaccination status.
“I’ve just lost a few people in my weekly routine who have refused or did not disclose [whether or not they had been vaccinated],” she said, “and it was unfortunate.”
The Friends star added, “I feel it’s your moral and professional obligation to inform, since we’re not all podded up and being tested every single day.”
The Morning Show diva said “it’s a real shame” that “there’s still a large group of people who are anti-vaxxers or just don’t listen to the facts.”
In 2020, the veteran actor encouraged fans to follow the Covid’19 SOPs through an Instagram.
American sitcom Friends is amongst the most viewed television shows of all time. Being a blockbuster series, it lasted for ten seasons and enjoyed worldwide viewership with multiple re-telecasts. The series is currently available on Netflix and has a significant viewership in Pakistan. It revolves around the bonding and regular life routines of six friends in their thirties.
If a local producer decides to buy its copy rights and remake it with a Pakistani cast, Here’s the ideal leading cast:
Rachel Green – Mahira Khan
Rachel is a beautiful fashion enthusiast with an inconsistent love life, she became a rage in pop culture for her dressing sense and hairstyles. Mahira has it in her to essay a role like this going by her great sense of fashion and her impeccable looks making her the right choice for the role.
Ross Geller – Fawad Khan
Ross is a suave paleontologist with three failed marriages and an interest in philosophical conversations which his friends don’t find intriguing. Ross is Monica’s elder brother and Rachel’s on and off love interest.
Joey Tribbiani – Sheheryar Munawar
Joey is a struggling actor and a foodie with flirtatious traits, Sheheryar has played similar roles in his films like Ho Mann Jahan. The Parey Hut Love actor has the charm to pull of this iconic character.
Phoebe Buffay – Saba Qamar
Phoebe is the funniest of the lot with a heart of gold and a failed music career. Saba displayed her comic histrionics on Hum sub umeed se hain and Miss Fire, giving us assurance about a promising comic timing on celluloid.
Monica Geller- Mehwish Hayat
Monica had elements of a bossy, competitive, and obsessive-compulsive nature who wants things to be perfect but still manages to choose the wrong men for herself except for Chandler. Monica is stylish and has the ability of binding the group together.
Chandler – Fahad Mustafa
Chandler is the guy who can make you laugh and can effortlessly confuse you with his sarcasm. Fahad Mustafa is an apt choice for this role going by his performances in Na Maloom Afrad series and Jawani Phir Nahi Ani 2 which showcased his convincing witty performances.
The long-awaited trailer of the reunion episode of Friends is finally here with the show scheduled to stream on HBO Max on May 27.
“The year is 2002, it’s Thursday night, and you rush home to catch the latest episode of Friends,” read the caption with the trailer. “Now get ready for it to happen all over again.”
“Friends: The Reunion is streaming May 27 on HBO Max.”

Ahead of the reunion episode, the cast of the show spoke People Magazine in which Jennifer Aniston said getting back together for the reunion was “like a family. I don’t have sisters. It’s what I assume sisters are like.”
The special reunion episode will feature a star-studded lineup including Malala Yousafzai, Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga, and K-Pop band BTS, British soccer star David Beckham and Game of Thrones actor Kit Harington.
The reunion episode was originally announced in February 2020 and will star Jennifer Aniston, Lisa Kudrow, Courteney Cox, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry, and David Schwimmer together onscreen for the first time since the show wrapped in 2004.
Friends aired for ten seasons between 1994 and 2004. It was also nominated for 62 Primetime Emmy Awards and won the Outstanding Comedy Series award in 2002.
Apart from being brilliant actresses, turns out Maya Ali and Jennifer Anniston have another thing in common: both actresses believe that 11 11 brings good luck.
Maya Ali, who often shares a screenshot of the time 11:11 on her Instagram stories, finally revealed what it symbolises. Sharing a scene from her film Teefa in Trouble, Maya said: “For all those who every time ask this question from me, what is 11:11?”
In the scene, Maya’s character Anya is telling Teefa (Ali Zafar): “If you are fortunate enough to see 11:11 on the clock, it means that the universe is sending you a message that no matter what, you don’t need to fear anything, you’re on the right path.”
“No matter how difficult times are, one you will find the true calling of your destiny.”
On the other hand, Jennifer has an 11 11 tattoo on her wrist, which she usually keeps hidden. However, in a recent live session with Friends co-star Lisa Kudrow, Anniston flashed her wrist tattoo — much to the surprise of fans and viewers.
While the actress has not yet revealed the symbolism behind her tattoo, People Magazine, quoting a source said that Anniston is “very spiritual” and believes the numbers are good luck.
The magazine further said: “The number 11 is also special to her because of her birthday (Feb 11) and Norman.” Norman was Aniston’s beloved Welsh Corgie-Terrier who died in 2011. The actor “still misses” her dog.
The one celebrity couple, no one is ever getting over is Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston.
The two sent hearts racing after they were caught being adorable on camera backstage at the SAG Awards 2020 on Sunday night. Fans had been waiting for this moment at the Golden Globes held earlier this month but the two just exchanged pleasantries leaving fans wanting more.
The couple — who split in 2005 after Pitt had an affair with co-star Angelina Jolie — was snapped going in for a hug and smiling at each other. Pitt, 54, and Jolie, 44, married in 2014, split in 2016 and their divorce was finalized in 2019. Since then, fans have been rooting for Brad and Jen to get back together.
While Pitt took home the award for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Supporting Role for Once Upon a Time in … Hollywood, Jen won the award for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Drama Series for The Morning Show.
In his acceptance speech, Brad poked fun at his lackluster love life.
Taking about his winning role as Cliff Booth in Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood, Brad said, “It was a difficult part. The guy who gets high, takes his shirt off, and doesn’t get on with his wife? It’s a big stretch.”
At this point, the cameras cut to Aniston, who ― while not appearing too enthused at the remark ― clapped.
Meanwhile, when Jen was onstage accepting her award, Brad was caught on camera watching her.
‼️ EXCLUSIVE ‼️ Brad Pitt stopped everything backstage to watch Jennifer Aniston’s acceptance speech at the #SAGAwards. Wow guys—it really has been our day, our week, our month, and even our year. https://t.co/m7r01pojsCpic.twitter.com/th9sm1js4D
Joaquin Phoenix, who played a terrifying Joker in 2019’s blockbuster Joker may have taken home the award for the best actor at the annual Golden Globes, but it was actually Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston who stole the spotlight as fans anticipated their public reunion. The two have rarely crossed paths in public since their split.
So. Jennifer Aniston’s table is right next to Brad Pitt’s. I am HERE for THAT. #GoldenGlobes
Brad and Jennifer, who were married from 2000 to 2005, made their red carpet appearance approximately 20 minutes apart, each selectively working the press line. The two were also nominated for Golden Globe Awards – while Jennifer was nominated in the best actress category for her work on The Morning Show, Pitt was nominated for best supporting actor for Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.
Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, Brad said, “I’ll run into Jen; she’s a good friend. The second most important reunion of her year.”
Jennifer Aniston
Interestingly, the Pitt/Aniston attention didn’t end on the red carpet.
As Pitt was telling a joke about his mom after his win for best supporting actor, the camera shot to Aniston, who was watching intently.
“I wanted to bring my mom, but I couldn’t because anyone I stand next to, they say I’m dating,” he said. “So it’d just be awkward.”
