Courteney Cox says her pal and former Friends co-star, Jennifer Aniston, just cannot get enough of a scented candle made by the Cougar Town actor’s homecare brand. So much so, indeed, that Cox can always smell its fragrance when she visits Aniston.
“Jennifer is obsessed”
“Jennifer is obsessed with the Cece scent,” Cox revealed at the Inc. 5000 45th Annual Conference & Gala, according to the celebrity-gossip magazine People. “I’ve never been to her house without smelling a Cece Candle right when you walk in. And I love it.”
What is Homecourt, Cox’s homecare brand?
Cox founded Homecourt, which specializes in products such as candles, soaps, hand creams and room deodorants, in 2022. Explaining why she chose to create the brand, she says: “My home is my sanctuary. It is a home that’s filled with love and laughter, and a place where I can spend quality time with friends and family. I have taken great care to curate a space where everyone can feel ‘at home’ […].
“Someone once told me that caring for your space can be a transformative act. As a self-proclaimed neat freak, I can tell you that this is true, but I could never find products that smelled or looked as good as they worked, nor anything that truly elevated homecare to what I’ve always felt it should be: an investment in yourself and your loved ones, and a daily act of self-care.”
During her Inc. 5000 appearance, Cox added that Aniston isn‘t simply trying to butter her up by firing up a Homecourt scented candle every time her friend comes to call. If a product isn’t Aniston’s cup of tea, the 60-year-old explained, “she’s the kind of person to be like, ’No, I don’t like it.’”
How much does the Cece Candle cost?
On the Homecourt website, the Cece Candle is described as a “clean-burning, lushly fragranced candle designed to enhance the ambiance of any space in the home.” The candle’s production description adds: “hand-poured into our kiln-fired ceramic vessels. Experience 60 hours of burn time and industry-leading fragrance throw.” Homecourt’s Cece Candle retails at $65.
What does Cece fragrance smell like?
According to Homecourt, Cece is “a fine fragrance for fall,” adding: “[It] enriches the season with warm notes of cedarwood smoke, sweet cardamom, and white leather.” The brand also describes Cece as “grounded, mysterious, and addictive”.
Jennifer and Courteney’s decades-long friendship
Cox and Aniston, who starred as Monica Geller and Rachel Green, respectively, appeared together for all 10 seasons of Friends, a hit NBC sitcom that ran from 1994 to 2004.
The pair have remained close friends since working on the show. In May, Cox paid a heartfelt tribute to Aniston to mark the latter’s 55th birthday, writing on social media: “Happy Birthday my sweet Jenny Louise. Also don’t know why I call her that…but I sure do love you.”

Jennifer Aniston is a name synonymous with Hollywood success. Best known for her iconic role as Rachel Green on the beloved sitcom Friends, she has cemented her place as one of the most sought-after actresses in the industry.
Jennifer’s journey began in Sherman Oaks, California, but she was raised in the bustling streets of New York City. She made the move to Los Angeles in 1989, where she juggled part-time jobs before landing her first television roles. However, it was her decade-long stint on Friends, from 1994 to 2004, that skyrocketed her to stardom.
As one of the highest-paid TV actresses of all time, Aniston and her co-stars commanded a whopping $1 million per episode during the show’s final two seasons. This incredible salary was just a portion of her earnings, as she collected around $90 million from Friends before royalties and backend deals.
Speaking of royalties, Jennifer’s income didn’t stop with the show’s finale. As part of a smart contract negotiation in 2000, she and her fellow cast members secured backend points on Friends, allowing them to profit from syndication.
What’s Jennifer Aniston net worth?
This savvy move means they continue to earn between $10 million and $20 million annually, thanks to the show’s enduring popularity. Even years after its conclusion, Friends generates over $1 billion yearly from syndication and streaming deals, keeping the cash flowing for its stars.
Beyond television, Aniston has built a solid film career, raking in approximately $75 million from movies between 1997 and 2011 alone. Her highest film payday came with $10 million for her role in Just Go With It. Over the years, her blend of talent, charisma, and business savvy has helped her build an impressive net worth of $320 million.
But it’s not just acting that boosts her bank account-she’s also a powerhouse in endorsements. With a portfolio featuring brands like L’Oreal, Smartwater, and Aveeno, she earns around $10 million per year from endorsements alone.
When it comes to her lifestyle, Aniston has made some remarkable real estate investments. She owns multiple properties, including a stunning Bel Air mansion purchased for $20.1 million and an $11,000 monthly HOA fee Manhattan condo that offers luxurious amenities. In 2022, she even bought a $15 million Montecito farmhouse from none other than Oprah Winfrey. All in all, Jennifer Aniston is not just a talented actress; she’s a savvy businesswoman whose wealth continues to grow in leaps and bounds.

Are you ready for a fun fact? We met Monica Geller and Rachel Green 30 years ago this fall. Yep, “time flies” is an appropriate response. And so is “Welcome to the real world! It sucks. You’re gonna love it.” Want to know a fact that’s even more fun than that? Courteney Cox and Jennifer Aniston are still friends who rub off on each other. In this case, when CoCo went to Jen’s house, she noted that it didn’t just smell nice, it smelled Courteney nice. Jen’s been burning the Cece candle from Courteney Cox’s brand Homecourt and your house can smell Courteney nice, too.
Homecourt Cece Candle
With notes of cedarwood smoke, sweet cardamom and cinnamon, Jen’s favorite Cece, is one of the more mysterious scents from Homecourt. The long-burning soy wax has a cotton wick and comes in a reusable clay cup. The mini candle is 2.25 oz and comes in 4 different scents.
In Aniston’s Instagram post celebrating Cox’s birthday, she wrote, “She’ll redecorate a room like nobody’s business.” And that’s kind of what happens with Homecourt products. Cox started the brand in 2022 to help people “discover the beauty of home care.” The candles are a big part of that and Cox says Aniston is a big fan of one particular candle.
“Jennifer is obsessed with the Cece scent,” Cox said at the 5000 45th Annual Conference & Gala. “I’ve never been to her house without smelling a Cece candle the moment I walk in. And I love it.”
The scent has notes of cedarwood smoke, sweet cardamom and cinnamon.

But Cox says she knows Aniston doesn’t just break out the Cece candles when she comes over and that she’s pretty direct about her preferences.
“She’s the kind of person to be like, ‘No, I don’t like it,’” she said.
Cece is not limited to candles — you can also get it in room deodorant, dish soap, hand cream and more. The candles come in two sizes: 2.25 oz. and 8 oz. There are also more scents to choose from: Cocomoi, Steeped Rose, Neroli Leaf, Cipres Mint, Mandarin Basile and Balsam Fireplace.
Jennifer Aniston has had a legendary career in television and film—one which began with her iconic role as Rachel Green on Friends, which earned her an Emmy and a Golden Globe, and has culminated in dozens of hit movies.
She has also had massive success outside of the industry, with her LolaVie hair care brand and various other ventures. So, no, Aniston cannot be defined by the high-profile relationships she’s been part of in her life—but sometimes it’s just fun to reminisce.
Ahead, a walk down the memory lane of the actor’s love life.
Justin Theroux (2010–2018)
Aniston’s last known serious relationship was with actor Justin Theroux. The two first met in 2007 and reconnected in 2010 on the set of Wanderlust. Soon, they began a whirlwind romance which saw them move in together by August 2011. They married in an intimate ceremony at their Bel Air, California, home on August 5, 2015.
In 2018, they released a joint statement announcing their decision to separate. “In an effort to reduce any further speculation, we have decided to announce our separation,” they said. “This decision was mutual and lovingly made at the end of last year. We are two best friends who have decided to part ways as a couple, but look forward to continuing our cherished friendship.”
The two have indeed remained close friends and have publicly supported one another and cheered each other on since.
In a raw interview with Elle in 2018, Aniston reflected on her marriages to Theroux and Brad Pitt.
“My marriages, they’ve been very successful, in [my] personal opinion,” she said. “And when they came to an end, it was a choice that was made because we chose to be happy, and sometimes happiness doesn’t exist within that arrangement anymore.”
Aniston continued, “Sure, there were bumps, and not every moment felt fantastic, obviously, but at the end of it, this is our one life and I would not stay in a situation out of fear. Fear of being alone. Fear of not being able to survive. To stay in a marriage based on fear feels like you’re doing your one life a disservice.”
John Mayer (2008–2009)
The actor and the singer met at an Oscars party in early 2008 and dated off and on for about a year.
“It’s funny when you hit a place in a relationship and you both realize, we maybe need to do something else, but you still really, really love each other,” Aniston said in an interview after their split, “It’s painful. I deeply, deeply care about him; we talk, we adore one another. And that’s where it is.”
In a 2010 Playboy interview, Mayer said of the relationship, “We just have a regard for each other’s feelings that is pretty intense. It’s been a deep relationship, and it’s no longer taking place at all.”
He also asked the interviewer, “Have you ever loved somebody, loved her completely, but had to end the relationship for life reasons?”
Vince Vaughn (2005–2006)
Fresh off her split from Brad Pitt, Aniston began dating costar Vince Vaughn as they filmed The Break-Up. In an interview years later, she credited him with bringing her back to life following her highly publicized divorce (which included Pitt quickly moving on with Angelina Jolie).
“I call Vince my defibrillator,” she said in a 2008 interview. “He literally brought me back to life. My first gasp of air was a big laugh! It was great. I love him. He’s a bull in a china shop. He was lovely and fun and perfect for the time we had together. And I needed that. And it sort of ran its course.”
Brad Pitt (1998–2005)
Ah yes, Brad Pitt.
The actors met through their managers in 1994, but didn’t go on their first date until 1998. The following year, they made their red-carpet debut at the 51st Emmy Awards, and announced their engagement that November at a Sting concert.
The pair married in lavish Malibu ceremony near the ocean on July 29, 2000. And the next year, Pitt made a hilarious guest appearance on Friends’ Thanksgiving episode, where he played a character who hated Aniston’s Rachel Green.
In 2004, Aniston said in an interview that she was ready to have children with Pitt, but around the same time, rumors began swirling that he had developed a close relationship with his Mr. & Mrs. Smith costar Angelina Jolie.
In January 2005, Aniston and Pitt announced they would be divorcing after almost five years of marriage. “We would like to announce that after seven years together we have decided to formally separate,” they said in a statement at the time. “For those who follow these sorts of things, we would like to explain that our separation is not the result of any of the speculation reported by the tabloid media. This decision is the result of much thoughtful consideration. We happily remain committed and caring friends with great love and admiration for one another. We ask in advance for your kindness and sensitivity in the coming months.”
Tate Donovan (1995–1998)
Soon after actor Tate Donovan split from Sandra Bullock, he and Aniston began dating. They went strong for over two years, and in 1998, just as they had broken up, he was cast as her character Rachel Green’s love interest on Friends.
“It was just six episodes. I mean, only because we were breaking up. We were like, ‘Hey, can we not keep doing this? ’Cause this is really painful and tough,’ ” Donovan recalled in a talk with Us Weekly in 2018.
Adam Duritz (1995)
The actor and the Counting Crows frontman met through mutual friends and dated briefly following her split from Daniel McDonald. Duritz would more famously go on to date Aniston’s Friends costar Courteney Cox.
Daniel McDonald
At the height of her Friends success, Aniston was in a relationship with fellow actor Daniel McDonald. They were together from 1990 until 1995. Sadly, McDonald died of cancer in 2007.
“He was my first love—five years we were together,” Aniston told The New York Times in 2015. “He would have been the one. But I was 25, and I was stupid. He must have sent me Justin [Theroux] to make up for it all.”
Charlie Schlatter (1990)
Aniston played older sister Jeannie to Schlatter’s Ferris on NBC’s Ferris Bueller, a short-lived series based on Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. The two had a brief relationship while filming the sitcom.

Nearly two decades after their high-profile divorce, Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt continue to make headlines. Just a few years ago, the former couple had rekindled their friendship at the 2020 SAG Awards, and gave the world hope for a second chance at their love story. However, it looks like that chapter has been closed forever.
Although Pitt and Aniston may never share a house again, it looks like the stars have found something new to share, Courteney Cox. The FRIENDS actress who played Monica Geller might be best friends with the 55-year-old. However, she also seems to be getting closer to the Bullet Train star.
Brad Pitt has hurt Jennifer Aniston once again
Ever since Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt split up in 2005, the actress had to take her time learning to heal and love again. Although the former couple made up just a few years ago, it looks like they’ve hit another bump in the road. With the stars reuniting in 2020, the 60-year-old actor managed to rekindle a few lost friendships, like his one with Courteney Cox.However, Aniston doesn’t seem to be taking it very well. According to reports from InTouchly Weekly, a source revealed that the FRIENDS star was feeling a little left out by her ex-husband and best friend. After all, they had been planning double dates with their respective partners and she was not involved.
Brad and Courteney became very close friends when he was married to Jen, they used to hang out all the time. That stopped once he left Jen for Angelina, but the last few years, they’ve picked up right where they left off. Courteney is respectful, she wouldn’t have started the friendship up again without Jen’s blessing. Once Brad and Jen reconnected after his divorce from Angelina, she gave all her close friends the greenlight to let him back into their lives.
Although Aniston may have initially been fine with Pitt and Cox reconnecting, their close bond seems to be affecting her. The insider explained, “But that doesn’t mean this hasn’t left Jen feeling very hurt and betrayed.”
The Murder Mystery actress has been left out as she doesn’t have a partner of her own. However, that hasn’t changed the fact that she feels like she is losing her best friend to Pitt.
After all, Aniston has been hitting rough patches with all her friends recently. Although the spotlight has fallen on Cox now, just a month ago, it was on The Morning Show co-star, Reese Witherspoon.
Jennifer Aniston’s falling out with Reese Witherspoon
For over 2 decades, Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon had a close bond after their time on the NBC sitcom, FRIENDS. However, it looks like the friends have fallen into a rut. Although the 55-year-old stuck by the younger star during her recent divorce, things between them changed after she began dating, Oliver Haarmann.In an interview with Life&Style magazine, a source close to the actress revealed that there was some friction in their friendship. After all, Aniston had been feeling left behind after being there for Witherspoon.
Now that Reese isn’t single, she’s acting like she no longer has any use for Jen, it’s very hurtful and has her nose out of joint.
The insider explained that the whole situation had left a sour taste in Aniston’s mouth. After all, she had thought they were like family. Shortly after the actress’ feelings about the situation came to light, another source told Life&Style magazine how the younger star was feeling about her close friend’s struggles with finding love.
With Aniston having been out of the dating game since 2018, the insider explained that Witherspoon was concerned about her friends’ love life. They stated, “She’s convinced she’s in a state of paralysis when it comes to her dating life.”
Although her lack of luck in love might be affecting Aniston’s choices, it hasn’t stopped her from wearing her heart on her sleeve. After all, the actress has found love again. However, instead of being with a man, she has chosen to love rescue dogs and support them in every way possible.

Angelina Jolie believes Jennifer Aniston eager to snub ‘Maria’ at Oscars 2025

Angelina Jolie has recently expressed fear after her haters including Jennifer Aniston and others unite to ruin her opportunity at next year’s Academy Award.
A source spilled to In Touch Weekly, “Angelina has the enviable position of being Netflix’s most viable Best Actress candidate, and they’re already spending real money to get the word out and get her very strong performance in Maria shortlisted.”
“The problem from the perspective of Angelina’s team is that Netflix’s millions might not be enough this year, especially with Hollywood absolutely teeming with middle-aged actresses who are aligned with Jennifer Aniston, Reese Witherspoon and their vast social networks,” explained an insider.
The source told the outlet that Angelina “is banking on her performance in Maria biopic”.
“Angie has some powerful friends too, but it’s Jen’s group that has been proven to be able to steer the course of the nomination process, which is exactly what they did two years ago,” shared an insider.
Another source revealed to In Touch, “You’d hope for Angie’s sake, after all she put herself through to make Maria, that she could neutralise this threat but Jen’s social network is incredibly powerful, it’s tightly knit, and it’s full of A-listers.”
The source noted that Angelina’s rival Jennifer teamed up with former husband and actor Brad Pitt to work towards snubbing the actress at the Oscars.
However, the source dished, “Netflix is going to be key here, because it means a lot of people all over the world are going to have instant access to Angie’s movie the second it is online.”
“Is that widespread availability going to be able to compensate for Angelina’s haters lining up to keep her from winning an Oscar this season? We’re about to find out,” added an insider.
Jennifer Aniston Convinced Me to Swap My Apple Watch for This Discreet Ring
Trying to better my overall wellbeing, I jumped on board the Apple Watch train in 2020. But like many people I knew, I’d remove it when dressing up for luxe weddings and galas, because nothing ruined a ‘fit like a clunky fitness watch. Even worse, I’d take the band off as soon as I jumped into bed in the name of comfort, missing out on vital sleep data. But as far as I knew, it was just the price I had to pay for increased health awareness—until Jennifer Aniston introduced me to the discreet ring she’s “addicted to.”
Back in 2021, Aniston shared a humorous story on Jimmy Kimmel about a salad and the Oura Ring; a.k.a. the smart piece of jewelry that tracks sleep, fitness, stress, and more. Three years later, and she’s still devoted to the do-it-all band, much like Kim Kardashian, Gwyneth Paltrow, and even Prince Harry are. But you’ll miss it if you don’t look closely—though, its low-key design is exactly what drew me in.

I made the jump to the discreet tracking device, which comes in six colors and 12 sizes with the all new Gen4 silhouette. The sleek gold design called my name, while my fiancé scooped up the angled Heritage shape. But no matter which color, shape, or version you snag, rest assured that the ring will provide you with the tools needed to feel your best, thanks to the continual collection of data that happens right at your fingertips (literally). All you need to do is wear the ring.
But is the Oura Ring actually worth it? If you’re someone who values health insights, absolutely. The information it provides is priceless, improving your knowledge around wellness with each metric it gathers. But remember, it’s not a magic wand; you still have to put the findings into action to see results.
For the perfect fit, shop the below sizing kits. (You don’t want to skimp out on this vital step, trust me.)
Jennifer Aniston eager to find new love for a third time
Jennifer Aniston is keen to find new love who can sweep her off her feet.
A source spilled to the US WEEKLY, “Jen is looking for someone she can trust, who makes her laugh — humour is a huge part of what she’s looking for.”
“And, of course, they must love dogs!” added an insider.
In a 2022 interview with the same outlet, the Friends alum confessed she didn’t have any “interest in getting married again, but she’d “love a relationship,” after her split from Justin Theroux in 2017 and divorce from Brad Pitt in 2005.
At the time, Jennifer mentioned, “There are moments I want to just crawl up in a ball and say, ‘I need support.’”
“It would be wonderful to come home and fall into somebody’s arms and say, ‘That was a tough day,” stated the actress.
However, another source told the outlet, Jennifer “is happy to focus on her pals and her close friends are central to her life who provide her with emotional support”.
A third source pointed out, “She’s kept her circle very small for many years and hasn’t added too many people to her close confidants.”
As OK! previously reported, an insider revealed that Justin and Jennifer have “stayed in touch and remained best friends over the years”.
“It might feel weird to regular folks, but you have to remember, Jen and Justin are not ordinary people!” They’re rewriting the rules of post-divorce relationships, Hollywood-style,” said an insider.

Nonetheless, their bond got marred when Brad parted ways with Jennifer in 2005, and Courtney sided with Jennifer when Brad became enamoured with Angelina, resulting in their romance of more than a decade.
The Mr. and Mrs. Smith couple eventually tied the knot on 23rd August 2014 only to part ways two years later in 2016

Brad Pitt and Courtney Cox reportedly share a close bond with each other.
As per the newest findings of In Touch Weekly, the Hollywood stars have rekindled their friendship, which was once marred.
This happened when the Meet Mr. Joe Black star divorced Courtney’s co-star and close friend, Jennifer Aniston, after a marriage of five years.
Spilling the beans on the matter, a source recently shared with the outlet, “Brad and Courteney became very close friends when he was married to Jen.”
They went on to claim that “they used to hang out all the time” when Jennifer and Brad were together.
However, Courtney sided with Jennifer when Brad became enamoured with Angelina resulting in their romance of more than a decade. The Mr. and Mrs. Smith couple eventually tied the knot on 23rd August 2014 only to part ways two years later in 2016
“That stopped once he left Jen for Angelina, but the last few years, they’ve picked up right where they left off,” the source said of Courtney and Brad before moving to a new topic.
