In 2011, Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston decided to collaborate professionally for the first time. However, their friendship stretches back over three decades to the early ’90s. They first met over a meal of French toast at a Deli in the ’90s. Despite their long history together, it was not until their casting in the rom-com Just Go With It that the true depth of their bond became apparent. At Aniston’s Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony the following year, Sandler spoke affectionately about her, stating, “I love this girl“.

Now, twelve years later, Sandler has once again shed light on his close relationship with Aniston and shared what a great friend the Friends alum is.

And it is gestures like these that really warm her heart. A few days back, Aniston shared a similar heartwarming gesture towards Sandler at the People’s Choice Awards.
