Gwyneth Paltrow considers herself lucky to call Jennifer Aniston her friend.
As Paltrow, 51, answered questions from her followers via her Instagram Story on Thursday, the actress and Goop founder was asked, “Are you and Jennifer Aniston friends?”
“Yes, I’m so lucky,” Paltrow replied, sharing a photo of her and Aniston, 54, hugging as Aniston kissed her on the cheek.
Aniston was among the celebrities at Paltrow’s engagement to her now-husband Brad Falchuk back in 2018.
The couple already had a relationship with Brad Pitt. Pitt, now 59, and Paltrow dated from 1994 to 1997, while Aniston was married to the actor from 2000 until their divorce in 2005.

Paltrow, who married Falchuk in 2018, touched on a range of topics in her Instagram Story Q&A session, from tips for building a romantic connection with a Pisces like Falchuk, 52, to her best parenting tips.
Paltrow also asked about her friendship with Dakota Johnson, who is dating Paltrow’s ex-husband Chris Martin.
“We’re actually very good friends,” Paltrow said, adding: “I love her very much. She’s a charming, wonderful person.”
Johnson began dating Martin, 46, in 2017 after the Coldplay singer and Paltrow, who “consciously separated” in 2014, finalized their divorce in 2016.

Paltrow and Martin have two children, Apple, 19, and Moses, 17, and are stepmother to Falchuk’s daughter Isabella, 19, and son Brody, 17.
In a previous Instagram interview back in August, Paltrow admitted that merging her family with Falchuk’s was a challenge at first.
“You know, there’s no book about this; no one tells us what to do. And in fact, all the media out there about being a stepmom paints us in this evil, villainous light,” Paltrow said at the time. “So it’s like trying to avoid landmines. And then you find yourself in a dynamic family. And there’s all kinds of fear around loss, and what does this person mean?”
“But for me, the minute I decided and fully embraced the idea that my stepchildren were my children and I loved them just as much and I gave them the same rules and boundaries, and just went for it with all my heart, then everything will become easier,” she added. “And now it’s pretty cool.”
