Friends: The Reunion has finally aired on HBO Max and the sitcom's fans have been reacquainted with the gang for the first time in 17 years since the finale aired in 2004.

The reunion was big on nostalgia and took fans back to Monica's apartment. It saw Lisa Kudrow and Lady Gaga sing Smelly Cat together, the castmates read scenes from iconic episodes, and a Friends-themed fashion show featuring the sitcom's most famous costumes!

The reunion special also featured a big revelation from Jennifer Aniston and David Schwimmer...who admitted they were crushing on each other during the show. The actress also confessed to telling her co-star that it would be a "bummer" if they had their first kiss on national television.

They Channeled Their Love For Each Other Into Ross And Rachel

Friends fans can hardly believe that the actors who portrayed television's fan-favorite couple Ross and Rachel had a romance brewing in real life.

Jennifer Aniston and David Schwimmer not only admitted they liked each other but also revealed they pursued love through their characters Ross and Rachel. Schwimmer noted, "I mean, the first season, I had a major crush on Jen. At some point, we were crushing hard on each other. But it was like two ships passing because one of us was always in a relationship and we never crossed that boundary. We respected that."

Aniston agreed, revealing she once told the actor she didn't want their first kiss to be on the show. "It's going to be such a bummer if the first time you and I actually kiss is going to be on national television,'" she said, recounting the conversation with him. "Sure enough, first time we kissed was in that coffee shop." She added, "So we just channeled all of our adoration and love for each other into Ross and Rachel."
