In a 2020 conversation between Aniston and Bullock for Interview Magazine, the Miss Congeniality actress revealed that she andThe Morning Show star first met through Donovan.
“Let’s journey back. I’m trying to remember the year of the Golden Globes, at that little restaurant. CAA always had that party,” Aniston said, to which Bullock recalled, “Yes, and we were introduced by our former boyfriend. I say ‘our’ because you and I both partook of this one human being.”

“Talented. Funny. Kind. Introspective. Generous,” the Ocean’s 8actress quipped, to which Aniston added, “Lovers of architecture, lovers of interior design.”
The two stars met for a second time at a friend’s wedding, Bullock told the outlet in 2020, recounting, “I sent you a shot, and I recall that we went back and forth a few times, and if I’m not mistaken, that was the first time I got sick drinking with you.”
In the recent Interview Magazine conversation, the woman also said their friendship blossomed at Gwyneth Paltrow‘s house.
“You and I sat next to each other and we didn’t pipe down,” Aniston told Bullock. “I don’t think we spoke to anybody else.”
