“Well, nobody knew who I was, and you were in the bathroom, wearing a black dress,” Gomez began.”Okay, weird,” Aniston chimed in jokingly, knowing her penchant for wearing black dresses. “And I think we were at Vanity Fair something event, and I was there with my mom, and I walked into the bathroom and I saw you, and you were just like so nice. You just walked out of the bathroom and you were going back, and my heart like, stopped. And I freaked out and I ran to my mom and I was like, ‘oh my god, I just saw Jennifer Aniston.’ I was like, ‘oh my god,’” the “A Sweeter Place” singer declared.
Though Gomez and Aniston didn’t speak for long, Gomez declared that the moment was everything she ever wanted. Now, years later, the two actresses are close enough to have pizza parties together. Who knew that a chance meeting in a bathroom could be the “start of a beautiful friendship.”
