Jennifer Garner and Reese Witherspoon share their inspiring stories about tough times

“A friend in need is a friend indeed” — This may be an old phrase but it still decodes perfectly the essence of true friendship. We often hear instances of scandalous rivalries and jealousies in the entertainment industry, but rarely do we come across tales of friendships in the glamour Hollywood industry. Recently, Jennifer Garner reflected on her special bonding with Reese Witherspoon during an event on Saturday.

According to People, both Jennifer Garner and Reese Witherspoon attended the Hello Sunshine's Shine Away Event held in Los Angeles. The 13 Going on 30 actress proudly credited Witherspoon for staying beside her when she needed her the most. She also emphasized the support extended by the Morning Show actress.

The 51-year-old talented actress recalled her pregnancy time and a specific moment when she felt vulnerable, however, she avoided inside details.

"I think back to being pregnant, This one [Witherspoon] was sitting next to me. I think back to going through a very public, very hard moment in my life. She was right there and the way I needed to get through it was dance cardio," recalled Garner during the Saturday panel discussion.

It was like, okay, we worked out at seven on vacation, we're going to work out again at two. She was like, 'I'm going to be there. I'm going to be there.'
