Jennifer Aniston broke the Internet when she decided to join Instagram on Tuesday, October 15. She gained more than 1 million followers in just 5 hours and 16 minutes, which broke the world record previously set by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle when they launched their Duke and Duchess of Sussex account. The actress has since amassed a whopping 12.9 million followers and given fans a glimpse into her private world. We've learned that she has even more celebrity friends that we thought, her closet is the stuff of dreams, and she was one cute little kid!
Jen, 50, celebrated her big debut by posting a photo of herself and her Friends costars David Schwimmer, Matt LeBlanc, Lisa Kudrow, Matthew Perry and Courteney Cox. "And now we’re Instagram FRIENDS too. HI INSTAGRAM," she captioned her first post. She also promptly followed ex Justin Theroux, who welcomed her by commenting on her photo. "Woot-Woot!
#first," he wrote. Countless other celebs like Reese Witherspoon, Jenna Dewan, Chelsea Handler and Lala Kent wrote messages and expressed their excitement over her decision to start an account.
What fans didn't realize is that Jen had a secret account, otherwise known as a "Finsta," that she would use to spy on people before she was ready to start her own. "It was a stalker account. When I was thinking about doing this, I sort of figured it was time to kind of understand the world and dip my toe into the social media pool," she confessed during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!
The Oscar nominee has a wicked sense of humor! For her second post, she jokingly posted a video of her throwing her phone and apologized for breaking Instagram. "I swear I didn't mean to break it ... Thank you guys for the kind, glitchy welcome," she captioned the clip. For her third post, she shared her first throwback photo of herself as a young girl.

The Murder Mystery star gets her hot body with the help of her trusty trainer Leyon Azubuike. "Welcome to @instagram champ!! @jenniferaniston. #Champ #Fitness #Boxing," he captioned a photo of himself holding Jen while she faked being passed out with her boxing gloves still on.
Jen has a closet that most of us can only dream of. Her stylist Nina Hallworth shared a photo of Jen standing in what looks like her personal closet at her Bel Air mansion, and it could easily pass as a high-end department store. The hangers perfectly match, there isn't a garment out of place, and it's practically the length of a football field.
The list of 134 people she's currently following has a lot of surprises. While Nicole Kidman, Ellen Degeneres and her wife Portia de Rossi, and Jennifer Garner were to be expected, others like blogger Arielle Vandenberg and singer Charlie Puth seem a little out of left field.
