Jennifer Aniston is finding it hard to cope with Matthew Perry’s death
Fans were stunned when Matthew Perry’s death at 54 years old was reported in the media. However, those close to the actor were also shocked and heartbroken over his passing. One person who is said to be taking the tragedy very hard is Jennifer Aniston. Jen co-starred with Matthew for ten seasons on “Friends,” and the two shared a close friendship in real life.
Sources tell Page Six that Aniston, along with fellow “Friends” star Courteney Cox are struggling the most with Perry’s untimely death. “Out of the remaining five, Jen and Courteney are reeling the most, and Jen is probably the one who is struggling most acutely,” the insider dished.
Jen’s father, Days of Our Lives icon John Aniston, died in 2022
Unfortunately for Jennifer Aniston, this isn’t the first loss that she’s endured in the past year. The “Horrible Bosses” star also said goodbye to her father, John Aniston, in November 2022.
“It’s a second massive loss in less than a year, with the one-year anniversary of her dad’s death just around the corner. She still hasn’t fully regained her footing from that, and now this has just completely knocked her off her feet,” the source said of Aniston’s grief.
John Aniston (who played Victor Kiriakis on DOOL) passed away at the age of 89. Although Jennifer has admitted that she didn’t always have the best relationship with her father, the two had grown closer before his death. In a tribute to her late dad, she called her father “one of the most beautiful humans I ever knew.”
Jennifer Aniston is trying to bounce back from tragedy
Jennifer Aniston is no stranger to heartbreak. The actress is one of the strongest and most resilient women in Hollywood. Over the years, she’s had to endure constant tabloid rumors about the state of her relationships and possible pregnancies. She’s also endured a devastating divorce from Brad Pitt. However, she’s kept her head up.
The deaths of Matthew Perry and her father are another hurdle that Jennifer now has to overcome in her life. However, she’s hoping to bounce back amid the sadness. “She is trying to regroup and recover but it’s been a completely devastating blow,” the source added.
