Jennifer Aniston reveals who her REAL circle of friends are... and Courteney Cox is NOT in the mix

Jennifer Aniston has revealed who her real circle of friends are with a new Instagram post shared this week.

And her Friends costar Courteney Cox did not appear to be in the mix of the VIP circle and she didn't 'like' the post either.

Some of Aniston's best pals are the people she has known the longest, and even went to school with. There are also a few famous actors and actresses thrown in.

The new post also showed photos of her boyfriend Jim Curtis, her three dogs and her sprawling $21 million Los Angeles mansion.

Her caption read, 'Incoming summer dumper! ☀️❤️.' Sandra Bullock, Jennifer Garner, Jessica Alba, Michelle Pfeiffer, Emma Roberts, Amy Schumer and Melanie Griffith hit the 'like' button.

In the photo she can be seen with a bevy of her nearest and dearest.

The famous friends are Jason Bateman, Billy Crudup and his wife Naomi Watts, and Sean Hayes of Will & Grace fame.

Then there are the less famous people.

There is Jimmy Kimmel's wife Molly McNearney, who also does some acting and writing. The blonde is known for Murder Mystery (2019), Dumplin' (2018) and The Oscars (2024). The two were seen arm in arm by a lake while on vacation.

Also seen was Bateman's wife Amanda Anka, whose father is the singer Paul Anka.

Will Speck, who directed the Aniston films The Switch and Office Christmas Party, was also spied.

Aniston's childhood pal Andrea Bendewald, who was on Suddenly Susan with Brooke Shields, was there too.

Bendewald also had a role on Aniston's movie Murder Mystery and has been on 20 episodes of her pal's series The Morning Show. 

Kristin Hahn, Aniston's producing partner, could be seen too and also Leigh Kilton-Smith; she is an actress and producer, known for Murder Mystery (2019), Vengeance (2022) and Never Back Down (2008).

Rounding out the group was makeup artist Angela Levin and teacher Nancy Banks.

The slideshow began with an image of her with Curtis.

The star, 57, has been dating the hunky hypnotherapist, 50, since 2025 and they celebrated their one-year anniversary sometime in May.

They looked as smitten as ever with one another in photos shared by Aniston with her 44.7 million Instagram followers.

Another photo showed the couple enjoying a golf cart ride with their pals, with Aniston seated in the front and Curtis seated in the back. 

She also captured a sweet moment between Curtis and her beloved Schnauzer mix Clyde as they worked out together in her home gym.

Aniston's Instagram post, which she referred to as a 'summer dumper,' also included photos of her hanging out with her gal pals, filming the latest season of The Morning Show as well as spending time at her Los Angeles home with her three rescue dogs.

Aniston and Curtis celebrated their one-year dating anniversary in May, with a source revealing exclusively to the Daily Mail what the couple did to mark the milestone.

The insider shared at the time that Aniston and Curtis planned to vacation in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico after she finished filming season five of The Morning Show.

'They want to have some fun in the sun and toast a year of bliss in her favorite place in the world, Cabo,' the source revealed.

'She is head over heels for this guy and wants him to be her forever person, so it's fitting they take a romantic break to appreciate one another.' 

The Daily Mail's insider also provided insight on how Curtis has fit into Aniston's A-list friend group, which includes Sandra Bullock, Adam Sandler, Jason Bateman and Sean Hayes.

'Jim fits right in with the crowd, they think he is a cool guy, which is very relaxing for Jen. She doesn't have to sell Jim, everyone is sold on him!

'Dinner parties, movie nights, premieres, they are easy breezy for Jen when Jim is by her side because he is so likable.'

Aniston is also reportedly so fond of her boyfriend because there is no competition between them - unlike her exes Brad Pitt, Vince Vaughn, John Mayer and Justin Theroux.

'It is all about her and how she feels and what she needs,' said the source. 'He never talks about his career or tries to network with her contacts, he has no interest in being an actor or being famous.

'She has said with him she can exhale, she can let herself go and breathe because there is no pressure.'

Being that Curtis is a life coach, he has reportedly been a healer for Aniston as well as her friend group.

'Very often Jim gets people to take deep breaths, to focus on the here and now, to appreciate the good things in life, he is like a human peace sign.

'He is the dude everyone gravitates toward at a party,' the insider shared.

Aniston and Curtis started dating in early 2025 and were first spotted together in public in July, on vacation with friends in Mallorca, Spain.

They made their first official public appearance at the ELLE Women in Hollywood event in Beverly Hills on November 17, 2025.

They went Instagram official when she shared a photo of them together on Instagram around November 2, 2025.

Earlier this year, Curtis revealed that he and the Emmy-winner were introduced by mutual friends.

'We were just introduced by friends. That's it. We found out that we had mutual friends and we started to just chat,' he said on the Today show. 'It took a long time, we chatted for a long time and we became close.'
