The Galentine’s Day event also featured a movie screening of the iconic 1995 teen comedy film Clueless starring Alicia Silverstone.
Gomez and Aniston’s friendship began when they met through their shared management team.
But Selena shared an adorable story about running into the Morning Show star in 2009 when she was 16.
‘I was shaking! I ran into Jennifer in the bathroom and she goes, “Hi!” My legs started to shake and I ran. I didn’t know what to do because I freaked out,’ she told Just Jared.
‘I always say that I worship Rachel McAdams as a movie actress but for comedy—the whole reason I started my show and mannerisms, they were after Jennifer Aniston.
‘It was so funny, they were playing clip reels of the work she’s done and I quoted the whole thing. Every single thing she’d say, I would say it. People were sitting there laughing at me and they’re like, “Wow, you’re obsessed.”‘

‘I have not only been following her career as a fan since I was 8 and now get to watch her completely transform in her new movie Cake, I have gotten to have real conversations with such a real heart, made my entire year. #cake #goseeit,’ Gomez captioned a 2014 pH๏τo on Instagram.
‘We have the same manager,’ Aniston clarified in January 2015 at the premiere of her movie Cake.
‘She’s just like a little cherub that I feel like I wanna take care of. And we’ve just met through our manager. She’s been extremely supportive and wonderful.’
Selena talked about meeting Jen in an interview with KTU radio, ‘so it was kind of like a friendly meeting and instantly she’s, like, inviting me to her house.
‘She has a pizza oven. Like, we’ve made pizzas at her house, the Wizards of Waverly Place star gushed.
‘She’s very cool and very sweet,’ Gomez continued. ‘She kind of gives me a lot of, like, maternal advice.’
The Galentine’s event comes after Selena posted and later deleted a tearful video about Donald Trump’s deportation policy.

The singer and actress, 32, sobbed as the spoke about Trump’s immigration policy in an emotional clip shared to her Instagram Stories.
Predictably, the video sparked a fierce backlash from Republicans and MAGA supporters, including US Senate candidate Sam Parker who called for the Bad Liar singer (who was born in the U.S. to an American mother) to be deported in the wake of her meltdown.
An insider told DailyMail.com why Gomez, who is engaged to Benny Blanco, swiftly deleted the post and is vowing to ‘stay out of politics’.
‘She realizes that she cannot go up against a Republican backed nation – many of whom are loyal customers of her Rare Beauty brand,’ they said. ‘She does not wish to alienate.
‘She is going to stay out of politics and in her own lane after that drama.’
