A Teenage Jennifer Aniston Used to Hang Out at Cher's House for an Amusing Reason

Jennifer Aniston reportedly used to hang out at Cher's house when she was a teenager back in the '70s. During a recent appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show, Cher opened up about their decades-long friendship, which Clarkson rightly noted that not many people would know of. "Is it true that Jennifer Aniston would come over to play at your house as a little girl in the '70s?" the Since U Been Gone singer asked the 76-year-old pop icon. "As a teenager, I mean as like a middle teenager. And (she would) eat me out of house and home," Cher joked in response.

Aniston was one of a group of girls who would spend a lot of time at her house in the '70s, the Believe singer explained. "The girls always used to, they knew when I went to Balducci's (grocery store), and they would just show up and just chow down. And (Aniston) was a big chow down-er," she said.

"I love it! I just think that’s so funny," Clarkson replied. When asked if anyone knew at the time that Aniston was such a talented actor, Cher said that the teenage Jen was attending the High School of Performing Arts. According to the Oscar winner, it's better to let someone's talent speak for itself.

"My mom used to say to anybody she met, 'I have a daughter who sings.' Well the minute you say that, people just turn (their attention) off," she shared, adding that her mother once told the owner and manager of Atlantic Records that her daughter could sing and that he brushed her off. The celeb recounted: "Then he signed us and then we're singing, and one night my mom comes in and he said, 'Georgia, what are you doing here?' And she said, 'I told you I have a daughter that sings. There she is!'"

Cher is currently dating Alexander "AE" Edwards who is 40 years younger than her. Edwards previously dated model and TV personality Amber Rose, and the two share a 3-year-old son named Slash. Addressing their four-decade age difference last month, Cher responded to a fan on Twitter saying: "Love doesn’t know math." She also went on to state a lesson she learned from Sogyal Rinpoche, the late Tibetan Buddhist teacher and best-selling author who died in 2019. "Rinpoche told me, 'Some people meet, others recognize,'" Cher wrote.

The singer has dated younger men in the past including Val Kilmer, Tom Cruise, and Rob Camilletti, all of whom are over a decade younger than her. "The truth was if I hadn't gone out with younger men, I would have never had a date," Cher told PEOPLE in 2021. "Younger men weren't intimidated by older women. But older men in my age category, they weren't having it."
