Jennifer Aniston Shares ‘Then and Now’ Photos with Dad John: ‘Christmas with One of My Creators’

Jennifer Aniston is celebrating Christmas with a sweet throwback photo with her father, John Aniston!

The 50-year-old actress shared a sepia-tinted photo of herself as a child snuggling up to her actor father, wrapping her arms around his neck as the pair looks into the camera. In a second, more recent snap, the father-daughter duo smile next to one another as Jennifer leans her head on her dad’s shoulder.

“Christmas with one of my creators,” the Golden Globe-nominated actress wrote on Instagram on Thursday. “Then and now #TBT.”

The Morning Show star sweetly added, “Love you, papa .”

John, 86, is best known for portraying Victor Kiriakis on Days of Our Lives. 

The holiday post comes after Jennifer celebrated with friends earlier this month.

“They have been in touch a few times since her birthday and are keeping it friendly,” the source added of Pitt, referring to the actress’ 50th birthday bash held at the Sunset Tower Hotel in L.A. in February.

Jennifer has been having a banner year and told PEOPLE earlier this month that 2019 has taught her “how much I’m capable of.”

“The words, ‘I dare you’ or ‘No’ always make me kind of go, ‘Oh, okay. Well, let’s just see,'” she said. Looking forward to 2020, she said that she’s excited to see what the new year will bring.

“I’m just so excited for the unknown,” she added.
