Jennifer Aniston Sent Courteney Cox the Sweetest Message For Her 56th Birthday

• Courteney Cox turned 56 on Monday, June 15, marking the occasion with a slow-motion bikini video on Instagram.

• "Happy birthday to this amazing human," Aniston wrote, alongside a series of photos of the pair.

Last year, Cox celebrated her birthday with Aniston and Lisa Kudrow in person, writing on Instagram, "How lucky am I to celebrate my birthday with these two??? I love you girls. So much." But alas! In the coronavirus era, an Instagram tribute (and perhaps a group Zoom) is the best most can do.

On Monday, Cox posted a slow-motion bikini video to mark her birthday that starts off elegantly and ends...less so. In the clip, Cox runs to the edge of her pool in a black bikini and dives in, looking every inch the professional, before her legs splay right before impact, resulting in an ever-so-slightly splashy finish.

The next day, Aniston paid tribute to Cox with a series of sweet photos on her Instagram story. She captioned the first, "Happy birthday to this amazing human," and the second, "I love you, CC."

Next up, she shared a photo of a gently peeved-looking Cox, writing, "Sorry I'm late."

Fittingly, Aniston wrapped her birthday tribute up with a Friends throwback photo of the two:
