Eva Longoria and Victoria Beckham

For more than ten years, Eva and Victoria have been by each other’s side. The actress and the designer have been there for weddings, births and various career milestones. Eva, who is godmother to Victoria’s little girl, opened up about their friendship.

“We‘re best friends and have shared lots of life lessons together. What we talk about is between us but we’ve been through stuff together. When we hang out, we just stay home and talk, eat and laugh.”

Penelope Cruz and Salma Hayek

Since sharing the screen together in 2006, Salma and Penelope have been one of Hollywood’s most glam friendship duos. On red carpets, behind the scenes and on social media, the pair never have a problem putting their bond on display.

In honor of Penelope’s 46th birthday, Salma penned an emotional tribute to her best girl. “Thank you for having been born. Thank you for your loyalty, for your friendship, for being such a powerful source of positivity in my life, for all the good advice, for the inspiration and last but not least, for all the laughter. You are such a light in every life you touch.”

Bad Bunny and Residente

At one-point Residente was just a mentor for Bad Bunny – then after a few collaborations and the fight to see their home island of Puerto Rico have justice, the pair have formed an unshakable bond.

Prior to the quarantine, the two musicians were often seen out celebrating or creating in the studio. “It’s a trip to be around him,” Residente said. “With him, I’ve learned to be more open. Even in the most stupid things, you can find art in them.”

Jennifer Lopez and Leah Remini

It was love at first sight for this dynamic girl duo! Jennifer and Leah’s friendship started when they met through Jennifer’s ex-husband Marc Anthony. Although JLo and Marc’s relationship didn’t last, that didn’t mean they had to stop being friends.

“It was one of those instant chemistry things where you just feel like, ‘I love this person. I love being around this person. This person makes me laugh,’” Jennifer said. ”She’s cool and we also have very similar upbringings. That’s why we work well together.”

Marc Anthony and David Beckham

There probably isn’t a more handsome bromance than Marc and David’s. The two men have been friends for over a decade. David has celebrated his pal during concerts, while Marc has been appointed godfather of his children. And just like other pals, then men have no problem showing their love for each other via social media.

Meghan Markle and Serena Williams

After meeting at a charity football game, Serena and Meghan became fast friends. The tennis pro was there to celebrate the former actress when she stepped into the royal spotlight. In 2019, the Serena designer shared what it’s like being friends with Meg.

“We hit it off immediately, taking pictures, laughing and chatting—not about tennis or acting, but about good old-fashioned girly stuff. So began our friendship. She quickly became a confidante I would text when I was traveling, the friend I would rally around for her tennis matches, and the down-to-earth chick I was able to grab lunch with a couple of weeks ago in Toronto.“

Serena has also spoken about her friendship with the British royal. “Her personality just shines,” Serena shared with Vanity Fair. “I told her, ‘You’ve got to be who you are, Meghan. You can’t hide.’”

Cameron Diaz and Drew Barrymore

Almost two decades later, and Cameron and Drew are closer than ever. From their meeting in a Beverly Hills coffee shop to starring in Charlie’s Angel’s and all the in between, the duo has remained true to each other and outlasted the test of Hollywood.

“We‘re like more than best friends, she’s my sister,“ Drew told Entertainment Tonight. “We have much more of that kind of relationship; we’re very honest with each other. We push each other. And we’ve had the majority of our lives spent side by side, really going through what real life is, which is an everyday high and low, and we just have each other’s backs.”

America Ferrera, Amber Tamblyn, Alexis Bledel and Blake Lively

The sisterhood didn’t end with the traveling pants. America, Blake, Amber and Alexis. The women have all been through motherhood and life after the film. To this day, the women all still have a strong bond.

“We like to FaceTime a lot and show each other our kids,” Amber shared with HOLA! USA. “We talk about whatever and sort of catch up.” She continued: We’ve come so far from the girls we were. We were all 16. Life is amazing.”

Selena Gomez and Jennifer Aniston

It all started in the bathroom! Selena Gomez and Jennifer Aniston’s friendship was one of the celebrity pairings no one (not even Selena) saw coming. The best part about their friendship is their bond over the regular things – and it’s not always so glam.

“You’ve always been so sweet,” the Friends star said. ”You really are a genuine [Friends] fan. It’s amazing. We’ve known each other for years. You’ve been to my house. We’ve had pizza. Girl after my own heart, do we love a pizza or what? We love a pizza.”
