Jennifer Aniston and her co-stars may receive $2 million each for “Friends” reunion.

Fans of the hit NBC sitcom “Friends” have never gotten over it. In fact, they have been looking forward to seeing a reunion and they are finally getting what they want. Aniston, Lisa Kudrow, Courteney Cox, Matthew Perry and David Schwimmer all confirmed on Instagram that the anticipated “Friends” reunion is coming.

“It’s happening,” the short caption wrote.

A few weeks back, Warner Bros. was still finalizing the agreement with the cast for a “Friends” reunion special that will likely be used to launch the HBO Max streaming service this spring. A person with knowledge of the negotiations told The Wall Street Journal that the six stars receive between $2.25 million and $2.5 million each for the show.

The upcoming show is expected to boost Aniston’s net worth. The “Murder Mystery” actress has an estimated earnings of $28 million pre-taxes from June 2018 to June 2019 and was ranked fifth in highest paid actress list.

Also, she has never lost her magnetic appeal which was evident when she joined Instagram last October. In just six hours, Aniston gained over a million followers making breaking Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Guinness World Record for making a million follower in the shortest time.

Before Aniston and her co-stars confirmed the news, there were rumors that the reunion might happen at all. According to previous reports, they couldn’t come to an agreement about money. Warner Bros. and the cast have been negotiating but it has come to a standstill due to the “eight-figure gap” between the cast salary demands and what the studio is willing to shell out.

In related news, there are rumors that Aniston and Brad Pitt visited Mexico to adopt a baby earlier this year. The couple has reportedly gotten back together and want to start a family. However, one should take the report with a grain of salt as the two are just friends.
