Are Jennifer Aniston and Adam Sandler friends in real life?

With the release of Murder Mystery 2 on Netflix in March 2023, viewers saw just how well stars Jennifer Aniston and Adam Sandler work together! The two had great on-screen chemistry as husband and wife detective duo Audrey and Nick Spitz. We need more projects of the two together ASAP!

The film follows the dynamic duo as they become the center of an international investigation when their friend is abducted, per Netflix. The movie also stars Adeel Akhtar, John Kani, Mark Strong, Mélanie Laurent, Jodie Turner-Smith, and more.

While the marriage doesn’t translate offscreen because Sandler is already happily married to model and actress Jackie Sandler, are he and Aniston pals in real life? We’ve got the answer for you below!

Are Jennifer Aniston and Adam Sandler friends in real life?

Guess what? The two stars are friends in real life! They’ve known each other for almost 30 years, way before Murder Mystery 2 came along. They met at chain restaurant Jerry’s Deli in the ’90s, before Aniston starred as Rachel Green on the hit sitcom Friends, the actress shared! “We were friends before Friends,” Aniston said on Jimmy Kimmel Live while she and her long-time bud promoted the Netflix movie. Aw!

The streaming service’s film isn’t this pair’s first project together. They also starred in the 2011 romantic comedy movie Just Go With It, playing love interests in the production as well. With such a long friendship and both being powerhouses in the industry, I’m surprised they haven’t starred in more projects together.

Since they met all those years ago, they’ve been there for each other through projects, Hollywood Walk of Fame star ceremonies, and life itself. And that’s something we love to see!

Murder Mystery 2 is now streaming on Netflix, and you can watch Just Go With It on Prime Video!
