Jennifer Garner demonstrated her love for Reese Witherspoon with a grand gesture and some fancy dance moves. In a video posted on Instagram on December 2, Garner, 51, shared that her friend Reese had sent her a DM the day before. The post was a joint effort with the Radio City Rockettes' official account.
The actress from The Family Switch then posted a screenshot of an Instagram direct message exchange with Witherspoon, 47. Witherspoon, star of The Morning Show, shared a post from the Rockettes’ account and asked Garner to join them in dancing. Garner responded with, "What would I give."
In the video, Garner mentioned that she happened to be in New York at the time. She added, "And, for our whole friendship, I pretty much do anything she says."

The Rockettes were lined up in perfect formation, gracefully stepping aside to reveal Garner standing behind them. With beaming smiles, she confidently moved in sync with the iconic kickline. The video concluded with the Rockettes exclaiming "Merry Christmas, Reese!" while waving at the camera.
"Cheers to twenty years of 'yes ma'am' with my friend @reesewitherspoon. Thank you @therockettes for being amazing! ⭐️⭐️⭐️" Garner wrote in the caption of her post.
