Sarah Jessica Parker And Jennifer Aniston: The Decades-Long Rivalry Heating Up Again

Hey there, let me tell you a story that’s been brewing for decades. Sarah Jessica Parker is back on set for the Sex and the City revival, And Just Like That…, and she’s once again going toe-to-toe with Jennifer Aniston on The Morning Show. According to an insider, the rivalry between these two powerhouses is more intense than ever, and it’s not just friendly competition anymore.

A Rivalry That Dates Back to the '90s

These two iconic actresses have crossed paths plenty of times over the years, but let’s be honest—they’ve never really hit it off. A source close to the situation tells Closer that their rivalry has been simmering since the '90s when they were both at the top of their game. Back then, Sarah Jessica Parker was stealing hearts as Carrie Bradshaw on HBO’s Sex and the City, while Jennifer Aniston was the ultimate fashion icon as Rachel Green on Friends. Both shows became cultural phenomena, and the competition between the two only grew from there.

From TV Stars to Movie Moguls

Once Friends and Sex and the City wrapped up in the early 2000s, Sarah and Jennifer started competing for the same high-profile movie roles. “They were constantly pitted against each other for the same parts, and it only fueled the fire,” reveals an insider. “Both women have said some pretty catty things about each other over the years, and trust me, Hollywood gossip travels fast.”

Fast forward to today, and both actresses are once again in the spotlight, starring in two of the most talked-about shows on TV. And Just Like That… and The Morning Show are currently airing, and the rivalry between Sarah and Jennifer is as fierce as ever.

Season 3 of And Just Like That… and Beyond

According to sources, Sarah Jessica Parker is feeling the pressure after the last season of And Just Like That… didn’t quite measure up to The Morning Show in terms of fan and critic reception. “Sarah came into the last season determined to outshine Jennifer, but it didn’t quite happen,” says the insider. “Now, with both shows set to premiere new seasons in 2025, Sarah is doubling down and planning to give Jennifer a real run for her money.”

While the official premiere dates for the next seasons haven’t been announced yet, both shows are already in production. Sarah has even shared a sneak peek of the third season of And Just Like That… on her Instagram, posting a picture of a stack of scripts. Meanwhile, filming for the fourth season of The Morning Show is also underway.

Jennifer Aniston: The Queen Bee of The Morning Show

On the other side of the rivalry, Jennifer Aniston is reportedly feeling pretty confident about her role as the queen bee of The Morning Show. “Jen is walking around like she owns the place, and she’s determined to keep the show going for years to come,” says a source. “She doesn’t seem to take Sarah or her reboot seriously, which only adds to the pressure on Sarah to prove herself as a worthy competitor.”

As the two shows gear up for their next seasons, the competition between Sarah Jessica Parker and Jennifer Aniston is sure to be one for the books. Will Sarah finally manage to outshine Jennifer, or will Jen continue to dominate the ratings? Only time will tell.
