“Not sure why this is one of my favorite clips… I guess it’s because nobody else in the world could make this line sound so cute,” Cox wrote in her tribute to Aniston.
“Happy Birthday my sweet Jenny Louise. Also don’t know why I call her that…but I sure do love you,” she added.

"You BROKE IT!" Aniston commented on the post. "I love you."
Aniston also celebrated another trip around the sun by sharing a video montage on her own Instagram page. Taking millions of her fans on a trip down memory lane, Aniston shared pictures and videos of herself from the last 55 years, including snapshots from her childhood.
“When you turn a year older, you’re also all the years that came before that year,” said the soundtrack of the birthday clip, which is a popular audio known as "The Thing About Birthdays" from TikTok creator eviewhy, who paraphrased the short story “Eleven” by Sandra Cisneros.
“The way we grow older is kind of like an onion — each year inside the next one. And our birthdays are just a celebration of all the years that came before and a welcoming of the next,” added the moving soundtrack.
