Fans can't stop talking about Jennifer Aniston and David Schwimmer after their latest commercial that debuted at the Super Bowl.

On February 11, we were treated to some great action between the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Fransisco 49ers as the two teams went head-to-head at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.

The Chiefs came out victorious thanks to some great play during overtime making the score 25-22, allowing them to continue their streak as Super Bowl Champions.

While most of the attention was on the football, other stand-out moments included Usher's incredible half-time performance, Taylor Swift and her all-star girl gang having fun up in the stands, and of course, the array of commercials that played throughout the event.

From Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck's promotion for Dunkin' to the official teaser trailer for Wicked: Part One starring Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, we were treated to some big-budget surprises amid the football action.

But there's one ad that got everyone talking, and it's because of one iconic celebrity couple.

In collaboration with Uber Eats, Jennifer Aniston and David Schwimmer starred in the business' commercial as friends who had forgotten each other - well, Aniston had forgotten. The message of the ad was to remind viewers that it's important to remember all the wonderful treats you can order on Uber Eats... even if that means forgetting an old friend.

Upon seeing the pair reunite on screen, fans took to social media in their numbers to express their love for their OTP.

"That’s it, we need them in a romcom ASAP! It’s so good to see them reunited on screen again! They were perfect as Ross and Rachel and they still have a lot to give to an audience, in my opinion," wrote one user on YouTube while another added: "Omgg thank u uber eats, lobsters" - a reference to their characters in Friends being each other's "lobsters".

Over on X people were also just as excited, with this user writing: "Jennifer Aniston and David Schwimmer reuniting for a Superbowl ad?! Actually screamed."

"#UberEats ad excellent! Definitely in the running for best ad. Jennifer Aniston and David Schwimmer. #SuperBowl," another added.

Speaking of the pair, a source told In Touch that the former Friends co-stars were equally happy to see each other.

"Jen and David had a blast doing the commercial," the source told the outlet. "Jen usually gets stressed out in those kinds of situations but having David there really relaxed her. He cracks her up. The crew could sense major chemistry between them."

The superstar duo worked together on the hit NBC sitcom from 1994 to 2004, playing beloved on/off-again couple Ross Geller and Rachel Green. But fans were shocked to find out that their on-screen chemistry at the time was so palpable because they were actually in love with each other, as revealed during the Friends reunion.

"The first season, I had a major crush on Jen," Schwimmer said. "At some point, we were both crushing hard on each other — but it was like two ships passing [in the night] because one of us was always in a relationship."

Aniston also recalled her feelings stating: "Sure enough, the first time we kissed was in that coffee shop. So we just channeled all of our adoration and love for each other into Ross and Rachel."

But the insider revealed that things may have developed since then.

"The feelings Jen and David have for each other go beyond friendship," they said. "They’re taking things slow and keeping things quiet for now. Only a few close friends know and they want to keep it that way for a while."

We'll just have to wait and see what - if anything - happens next.
