55 REASONS TO LOVE JENNIFER ANISTON HELLO! CELEBRATES THE STAR'S MILESTONE BIRTHDAY WITH AN ARRAY OF FUN FACTS

She is the epitome of aging with grace. “I feel the best in who I am today, better than I ever did in my 20s or 30s even, or my mid-40s,” Jennifer Aniston told Allure magazine in 2022. Now that she’s approaching her 55th birthday – on Feb. 11 – that mantra continues to hold true.

She’s as in demand as ever, ramping up for a fourth season of her Apple TV+ hit, The Morning Show. She’s living her best life – in the celebrity enclave of Montecito, Calif. – with her beloved dogs. And she’s constantly on call for her large and devoted circle of friends.

“When I think of Jen, I think of kindness, generosity, love and family,” makeup artist Angela Levin told Hello! “We call each other ‘Mama’ – not just us two but all the amazing women around her do … We are hers, and she is part of our hearts forever.”

Amid the joy that life brings, Jennifer has suffered heartbreaking losses, too – including two important men in her life.

When Matthew Perry died suddenly last October, Jennifer, like the rest of the Friends cast, was bereft. “This one cuts deep,” she posted on Instagram, describing her grief as “an insane wave of emotions.”
