Jennifer Aniston ‘drops baby bombshell news’ on Friends reunion show

Jennifer Aniston has reportedly dropped some major baby news during the Friends reunion special that was filmed last week.

The actress – who found fame playing Rachel Green in the hit US sitcom – joined her five co-stars in Los Angeles to film the highly-anticipated reunion.

The special was completely canned in 2020 – despite producers doing everything they can to make it work.

But die-hard fans who watched the famous six blossom on screen breathed a collective sigh of relief as the stars last week met up to film the reunion.

And while the reunion itself is a major event that millions around the world simply can’t wait for, there’s reportedly another big reason to tune in.

Sources tell Closer that the emotional reunion prompted Jen to drop some bombshell news as she told her co-stars about her excitement over her new baby arrival.

It’s reported that the twice-divorced actress has decided to adopt a baby girl from Mexican orphanage, Casa Hogar Sion.

Jen has been a long-time supporter of helping out the orphanage, and her friends are now saying the adoption process is set to be finalised by June.

“Jen felt the reunion was the perfect time to make her baby announcement to the whole gang. While the girls already knew – as they see each other regularly – she thought it would be special to tell the boys when they were all together, as she rarely sees them these days due to their busy lives and work commitments,” an insider told the publication.

“Spending almost every waking hour together for a decade, they lived through every detail of each other’s lives and supported each other through all their hard times including Courteney’s fertility struggles and Jen’s painful divorce from Brad Pitt.

“Knowing how much they’ve always wanted this for Jen knowing her history, made it even more poignant for her to tell them her news so they could share and celebrate the milestone chapter in her life.”

“They were all overjoyed when she told them – giving her parenting advice, which she said she’d happily take on once she was settled in,” the source added.

Rumours of Jen adopting a child from Casa Hogar Sion swirled back in 2011 before she tied the knot with second husband Justin Theroux.

However Jen had always remained tight-lipped on her baby plans, and denied such reports in the past.

It’s now reported that she will be a mum in June when she takes her baby girl home.

Since starting the adoption process last year, Jen’s friends have told the publication that her best-friend and former Friends co-star Courteney Cox has been right by her side through it all.

Jen – who is the Godmother to Courteney’s 16-year-old daughter Coco – fuelled baby rumours last year when she said: “I hear laughter, I see kids running” in her future, despite being single at the time.

It’s reported that the baby news has got Courteney so excited that the actress – who played Monica Geller in the sitcom – has taken it upon herself to plan Jen’s baby shower.

“Court knows Jen doesn’t want a big fuss made, but she wants to celebrate this huge milestone in her life so she’s planning an intimate dinner party for all her closest loved ones,” the source adds.

The Mirror has contacted Jen’s reps for comment.
