The pair was seemingly aware of the rumors associating them romantically. Since the early 1990s, both have maintained their friendship for decades.
According to Aniston, "The Indigo Girls, Melissa Etheridge, k.d. lang, my best friend Dre was with me always. And I do think there was a moment where people might have not known if I was possibly on your team or not."
They shared a kiss in October 2019 when Brad Pitt's former wife guested on the talk show as a promotion for the movie "Murder Mystery" starring her and Adam Sandler.

Aniston laughed and played along, whipping her hair to the side and leaned forward as well. The pair briefly locked lips as the studio audience reacted elatedly. However, the kiss was allegedly staged to raise the episode's Target Rating Point.
Aniston was among the celebrities who made a guest appearance when DeGeneres hosted a 2019 3-part series entitled "Ellen's Greatest Night of Giveaways."
