Where did this go? Jennifer Aniston revealed during the Friends Reunion in May that she had a crush on David Schwimmer during season one of the hit show and he had one on her. And on Wednesday Howard Stern asked the actress during his SiriusXM show if they ever ‘banged’

Nope: The Morning Show star shared that they never did. ‘I would proudly say I banged Schwimmer if that happened but no,’ said the beauty.

‘We were in relationships and it was always never the right time and it wouldn’t have worked,’ shared the blonde.

‘The beauty of that was that whatever feelings we had we just literally channeled everything into Ross and Rachel and I think that’s maybe why it resonated the way it did,’ added the We’re The Millers star.

‘But no, we never, on my life [got together]. And Courteney and Lisa would know if it did because they would’ve heard about it. They can vouch for me,’ she said as Cox, 57, added it was ‘true.’ 

Bad timing: ‘We were in relationships and it was always never the right time and it wouldn’t have worked,’ shared the blonde; this was their first kiss on Friends

It was good for their chemistry: ‘The beauty of that was that whatever feelings we had we just literally channeled everything into Ross and Rachel and I think that’s maybe why it resonated the way it did’

‘Howard’s not going to believe me,’ Aniston then replied. ‘No, I would proudly say I banged Schwimmer if that happened. But no.’

Jennifer also said of David: ‘He was lovely, David was great.’ 

This comes after the former co-stars shocked fans on the Friends Reunion by saying they once had crushes on each other as they played Ross Geller and Rachel Green.

‘At some point, we were crushing hard on each other,’ Schwimmer said. ‘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.’

All six in one room: The cast was seen together at the Friends reunion in May: Matthew Perry, Matt LeBlanc, Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Jennifer Aniston and David Schwimmer

Co-star Matt LeBlanc said under his breath that was ‘bullsh*t,’ which won laughs.

Aniston added, ‘Honestly, I remember saying one time to David, “It’s going to be such a bummer if the first time you and I actually kiss is going to be on national television.” Sure enough, first time we kissed was in that coffee shop.’

Later creators Marta Kauffman and David Crane, as well as executive producer-director Kevin Bright told The Hollywood Reporter: ‘It was a very hot topic on the set because the electricity between them in the scenes was like, “Oh my God, they can’t be acting that, there’s got to be something!”

His take: ‘At some point, we were crushing hard on each other,’ Schwimmer said. ‘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.’ LeBlanc said ‘bullsh*t’

Her take: Aniston added, ‘Honestly, I remember saying one time to David, “It’s going to be such a bummer if the first time you and I actually kiss is going to be on national television.” Sure enough, first time we kissed was in that coffee shop’

‘Everybody was suspicious that something was going on,’ said Bright. ‘People made up their own rumors at a certain point.

‘But we all thought something might have been going on because they were just so good together,’ he continued. ‘We were so invested in Ross and Rachel, like the rest of you. There was something about them. But like the show, in a certain way, you had to wait a long time and then it never happened. The happy ending is in the show.’

Kauffman added: ‘We didn’t know for sure because we never asked either of them, but yes, we thought that perhaps might be going on,’ she said. 

‘It did not wind up inspiring [Ross and Rachel’s storyline] honestly at all. If anything, their ability to channel those feelings into Ross and Rachel just made the longing all the more relatable.’

They never inserted themselves. 

‘You don’t want to get involved in actors’ personal lives, then you’re really in trouble as a producer,’ he explained. 

‘We never did because nobody saw anything, nobody found anything; it was just rumors that were all based on how good they were as actors.’ 

Schwimmer was married to Zoe Buckman from 2010 until they split in 2017; the share daughter Chloe.

Aniston was married to Brad Pitt from 2000 to 2005 and later wed Justin Theroux from 2016 until  2018 .
