LOS ANGELES, Oct 23, (Agencies): True friends have an innate sense of when it's time to let loose and dance the troubles away. Jennifer Garner can attest to this, with Reese Witherspoon standing as the prime example of such a friend. During the Hello Sunshine Shine Away event, Garner, Witherspoon, and Mindy Kaling took the stage to discuss their experiences.

Garner took a moment to laud Witherspoon for her unwavering support during a challenging period in her life, describing it as a "very public, very hard moment." With deep gratitude, she recalled a particular instance when Witherspoon stood by her side, highlighting the bond of their friendship.

In Garner's words, "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."

Garner went on, reminiscing about their shared dance cardio sessions, humorously revealing that they danced so vigorously that Witherspoon ended up with a broken foot. Nevertheless, their commitment to staying active remained unwavering, even on vacation. Garner added, "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.'"

Although Garner didn't delve into the specifics of the challenging moment she was facing, she also credited Witherspoon, a fellow mother of three, for dispensing invaluable parenting advice.

"She'll also look at you and say, 'OK, you need to be finding a preschool. This kid is two and a half, and they need to start next month. You actually have to get on this,'" Garner disclosed.

Beyond their treasured friendship, it's worth noting that Garner and Witherspoon shared a professional connection, as Garner starred in "The Last Thing He Told Me," a project produced by Witherspoon.
