Jennifer Aniston, 56, looks half her age as she flashes SIX PACK abs in new snaps
Jennifer Aniston has left fans stunned over her athletic level abs while appearing in head-turning photos for her new Smartwater campaign. The Friends alum, 56 - who recently finished dramatic renovations on her $15 million Montecito mansion - has partnered with the brand once again after a five-year hiatus. The actress is no stranger to starring in ads for Smartwater - which is run under Coca-Cola - and initially signed a contract to represent that electrolyte-infused water back in 2007. In one image, Aniston flaunted her incredibly toned physique wearing a cropped white shirt and a pair of black trousers. Her locks were parted to the side and effortlessly cascaded down past her shoulders in light waves. Jennifer opted for minimal accessories and added a few flashy rings onto each of her hands while also balancing a Smartwater bottle on top of her left shoulder. The star's makeup was glammed up for the photo shoot and comprised of a layer of mascara to her voluminous lashes. A warm blush and contour was added to better accentuate her cheekbones while a nude-colored glossy tint was worn on her lips for a finishing touch. Aniston continued to pose up a storm for the campaign while sporting a black sports bra and sculpting leggings. She could be seen holding water bottles and cans from the brand - including the Smartwater alkaline with antioxidant can. Earlier this week on Tuesday, the actress jumped to her main Instagram page to share a short reel that showed her on set. At one point, she walked in front of the camera and picked up a water bottle placed on a stool. Jennifer continued to flaunt her abs in the white cropped top and took a sip of the water before walking out of frame. Social media users jumped to the comment section of the post to share their thoughts over the star's fit figure. One penned, 'Will drinking this water get me those abs,' while another wrote, 'You are goals!!! Absolutely stunning.' Aniston continued to pose up a storm for the campaign while sporting a black sports bra and sculpting leggings Social media users jumped to the comment section of the post to share their thoughts over the star's fit figure One penned, 'Will drinking this water get me those abs,' while another wrote, 'You are goals!!! Absolutely stunning' 'THE ABBBSSSSSS,' a fan also typed out, and one added, 'I'll have what she's having.' Another shared, 'If drinking smart water gives you a physique like that? I have to stop drinking dumb water,' followed by a laughing face emoji. 'My God. That stomach. Way better than mine,' an Instagram user penned, and one wrote, 'When Jennifer Aniston holds a bottle of Smartwater, it's not just hydration - it's a whole lifestyle. The 2025 version? Pure inspiration.' Others expressed their excitement to seeing The Morning Show actress starring in Smartwater ads once again. 'I grew up with this iconic ad,' a fan shared, and another added, 'Welcome back! My favorite water since Jen introduced us to it years ago!!!' When it comes to the star's fit figure, Aniston opened up about the one thing her parents wouldn't let her have when she was growing up during a recent interview with People. 'I was never allowed to have a sugary piece of anything, and I was also served spelt bread,' she told the outlet. 'I grew up in one of those holistic I've sort of lived by that.' Jennifer also explained how her mother had always emphasized the importance of drinking water. The actress later added, 'I've become so hyper aware of people who don't drink water now because I've always been such a water drinker. 'I have girlfriends that just can't drink water, they just don't like the taste of it. It's like, "It's water. It's just water," and I constantly say, "You have to hydrate. You must hydrate."' In regards to her reunion with Smartwater, Jennifer jokingly said, 'We just can't quit each other.' Aniston stated that she is a fan of the water due to it's 'delicious' and 'crisp' taste - while also sharing, 'I love the bottle, I love the brand, I love the people.' When it comes to her fitness regime to achieve her toned figure and abs, the star previously gave insight into her routine while talking to Women's Health earlier this year in January. The Hollywood actress said, 'One thing I'm really proud of in my fitness journey is that I'm still doing it. I just feel strong. I feel stronger than I was in my 20s, that's for sure.' Jennifer - who works with fitness trainer Dani Coleman - explained that it had taken some time to realize that she didn't need to overdo it when it came to workouts. 'You don't have to kill yourself to be in shape. You just have to do the right things,' she expressed. Jennifer has been keeping busy and is set to appear in the fourth season of the hit Apple TV+ series The Morning Show - which is set to premiere later this year on September 17 Aniston also shared the importance of one's body and on days when she is tired, she will instead focus on doing stretches. 'I've learned that you don't have to push through everything. It's about doing what you can and knowing that it all adds up.' The beauty later explained, 'Our bodies need to be loved and cared for and attended to, and workouts are a part of that. Strength training is really important.' Jennifer has been keeping busy and is set to appear in the fourth season of the hit Apple TV+ series The Morning Show - which is set to premiere later this year on September 17.

Coca-Cola Recall Update as FDA Issues Risk Warning for Contaminated Drink
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has assigned its second most serious risk level, Class II, to a recall of Topo Chico mineral water, owned by The Coca-Cola Company, following the identification of potential contamination with Pseudomonas bacteria. Newsweek reached out to The Coca-Cola Company, which issued the recall, via email for comment outside of regular working hours. Why It Matters The FDA categorizes its recalls from Class I through to Class III. A Class II recall refers to instances when "use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences" or if the chance of "adverse health consequences is remote." Pseudomonas is a common group of bacteria. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is the type that most commonly causes infections, and patients in health care settings are the most vulnerable, including those on ventilators, those with catheters and those with open wounds, according to guidance from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Getty Images What To Know The recall began on May 28, 2025, and was initiated by The Coca-Cola Company. The FDA issued the Class II risk classification on June 17, 2025. The recall was issued due to the potential presence of Pseudomonas in the mineral water. According to the FDA's release, "The firm was notified by their distributor that product placed on hold was released and shipped to customers." The recall involved 241 cases of Topo Chico Mineral Water Carbonated 16.9 fl oz (500 ml) bottles. The products can be identified by the following details: UPC: 0 21136 18061 9 (bottle), 0 21136 18062 6 (case) Lot Numbers: 11 A 2543, 12 A 2543, and 13 A 2541 Manufactured in Mexico by CIA. TOPO CHICO, S. DE R.L. DE C.V., Monterrey The affected bottles of Topo Chico were shipped to five states: Arizona, Louisiana, New Mexico, Nevada, and Texas. Coca-Cola has owned the sparkling mineral water brand Top Chico since 2017. The beverage giant owns a significant number of brands, including Sprite, Fanta, Smartwater and Powerade. What People Are Saying The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's guidance on Pseudomonas aeruginosa reads: "Pseudomonas is a group of bacteria commonly found in the environment, like in soil and water. The most common type causing infections among humans is Pseudomonas aeruginosa. P. aeruginosa can cause infections in the blood, lungs (pneumonia), urinary tract, or other parts of the body after surgery." What Happens Next The recall is ongoing.

Coca-Cola's Smartwater is bringing back a former friend to its advertisements
Smartwater is bringing one of the world's most familiar faces — and former friend — back to its advertisements. Jennifer Aniston is once again the face of the electrolyte-infused water, rejoining the brand following a five-year hiatus. The Coca-Cola-owned unit has re-signed the actress and entrepreneur to attract attention to the nearly 30-year-old Smartwater, which faces growing competition from newer brands. Aniston first signed with Smartwater in 2007, shortly after Coca-Cola acquired the company, helping it become the top-selling premium water brand in the United States. Her memorable ads became a mainstay on television and in glossy magazines. Aniston will once again grip her trusty Smartwater in a global ad campaign launching Tuesday that includes ads on TV, online, billboards and in print. Since her exit from the brand, competition for premium water has greatly increased as consumers cut back on pricey purchases amid economic uncertainty. Smartwater is hoping the universally beloved star could help refresh the brand. 'The premium water segment's declining a bit and likely driven by some macroeconomic trends that are going on right now,' said Stacy Jackson, Coca-Cola's vice president of water and tea for North America. But consumers are still obsessed with hydration, and Smartwater sales have held steady. It's the top-selling brand in the category with dollar sales rising 5% last year to $1.4 billion. Consumers still associated Aniston with Smartwater despite her not being with the brand since 2020 when her contract ended. An A-lister for decades, she's remained in the public eye in recent years, notably with the starring role in the Apple TV+ series 'The Morning Show' as well as 'Friends' streaming on Netflix, which introduced her to a new generation of fans and further bolstered her popularity. That prompted Coca-Cola to rekindle discussions about a year ago. 'When we called her management company, her manager said, 'Where have you guys been? What took you so long?'' said Luke Perkins, group director of creative strategy at Coca-Cola, who described the partnership as 'a real love affair.' Aniston's new two-year deal with Smartwater has her starring in ads that are reminiscent of its past ads. In the first TV commercial, she's on set and facing demands from a director and takes a brief respite to sip on a bottle of Smartwater. Aniston 'gets that clarity through that drink of water and that moment for herself,' Perkins told CNN. 'That's our resolution: She's the ace of this and we can all use a little bit of that' In addition to posing with Smartwater's flagship product, which accounts for 82% of its sales, Aniston will also promote the brand's alkaline-infused waters as well its newly launched 12-ounce aluminum cans. Aniston said in a press release that 'in my heart, this partnership never really ended,' adding that the ads are a 'fun reminder that the smart choice is sometimes the simplest one, and how those choices can ultimately lead to greater well-being.' The hype around hydration is driving the growth of packaged water, according to Kelsey Girard, Mintel's senior food and drink analyst. Four in 10 consumers report being more focused on hydration compared to a year ago. 'Hydration is an attainable health priority when budgets are tighter, yet increased education around the benefits of proper hydration is resonating, too,' Girard said. Aniston could help Smartwater stand out in an increasingly crowded market. 'Bringing in an asset like a Jennifer Aniston is going to help as we look to increase overall awareness of our brand and ensure we bring in new users to the category and then also ensure that the users that we already have become lifetime loyalists,' Jackson told CNN. Signing a celebrity is en vogue with Smartwater's competitors. Icelandic Glacial announced last week it has enlisted dancer Julianne Hough to be its first-ever celebrity spokesperson. Danone's Evian last year partnered with music producer Pharrell Williams to create custom bottles and a tennis-themed fashion collection with the water brand. 'Premium bottled water is an obvious place for consumers to cut back to manage higher grocery costs,' said Duane Stanford, editor and publisher of Beverage Digest. 'Brands will look for ways to prove their value, in part by enticing consumers to act like the celebrities whose lifestyles they admire.'
