The world got to see the funny side of her in the hit sitcom Friends as Rachael Greens’ spoiled sister Jill.

Witherspoon and Jennifer Aniston had a bumpy on-screen relationship, but the actresses are good friends off-screen and a big fan of the sitcom she guest starred in years ago. In 2011, while presenting Aniston with an award at the Elle Women in Hollywood gala, the actress acknowledged how “obsessed” she was with the famous series. She further went on to say that she had recently given birth and that she “would not stop” watching the popular 1994 hit sitcom. Further implying that they were her friends and that they could not be taken away from her.
She went on to say that despite everything, she showed up for work with enthusiasm. But she forgot it was her first time acting on television, which left her in a panicked state. However, Aniston’s presence on the show was extremely beneficial to her. She shared how the Horrible Bosses actress helped her relax and told her to “just be herself.” Thus began a bond that would last decades and lead to their collaboration on The Morning Show.
The entire audience laughed throughout her speech, but this was not the only pregnancy anecdote that she shared with the world. Another pregnancy scandal involving her and Jennifer Garner made headlines in 2019.

Just like the legendary Lady Gaga, Reese Witherspoon surely knew how to throw away the pregnancy rumors surrounding her and Jennifer Garner in the most hilarious way possible. In 2019, the actress uploaded an OK! magazine post on her Instagram account with the headline “Jen & Reese Baby Bombshells,” indicating that both leading ladies were pregnant at the same time. She then captioned the photo, “Can we raise our imaginary babies together?” while specifically referencing Garner.
This post created a frenzy among fellow celebrities, who responded in the same playful manner. Gwyneth Paltrow was the first to respond to the post with a series of laughing emojis. Further, Sara Michelle Geller joined in on the fun, offering to babysit their imaginary babies. This projected a rather funny side of the whole pregnancy fiasco.
