Aniston sat down with Entertainment Tonight, where she discussed the dating rumors between herself and her “Friends” costar, David Schwimmer. The reports came up after the sitcom reunited for an HBO Max special.
“That was bizarre. I could not believe that, actually. Like, really? That’s my brother,” Aniston said. “But I understand it, though. It just shows you how hopeful people are for fantasies, for dreams to come true.”
Last month, Schwimmer officially confirmed that he and Jennifer Aniston are not “spending time” together. A representative for Schwimmer told the UK Sun there is “no truth” to rumors that the former costars are dating.

The rumors began when a source told Closer magazine that after the “Friends” reunion, the two “stirred up feelings” for each other.
“They began texting immediately after filming and, just last month, David flew from his home in New York to see Jen in LA,” according to the insider. Reports said Aniston has allegedly been cooking dinners at her home for Schwimmer. Other reported sightings included an alleged sighting of the costars at a winery.
While there may be nothing going on, Aniston and Schwimmer previously shared that a romance almost blossomed between the two.

During HBO Max’s “Friends: The Reunion” special, James Corden, the host, asked whether any of the cast members of the sitcom ever were involved in off-screen romances with each other.
Both Aniston and Schwimmer quickly gave their answers.
“I mean, the first season, I had a major crush on Jen. At some point, we were crushing hard on each other,” Schwimmer said. “But it was like two ships passing, because one of us was always in a relationship and we never crossed that boundary. We respected that.”
Aniston then shared a conversation she had with Schwimmer about their first kiss in the show.
She continued, “So we just channeled all of our adoration and love for each other into Ross and Rachel.”
Schwimmer also recalled when he and Aniston would cozy up to each other during the first couple of years. He mentioned how there were moments when they would cuddle on the couch.
