Update: 1/10 You didn't think the hilarious saga of Morning Show stars Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Aniston asking Beyoncé and Jay-Z for a glass of their personal champagne stash ended the night of the Golden Globes, did you? When Witherspoon returned home from the awards show, she was met with a huge bouquet of flowers and a whole case of champagne, courtesy of, you guessed it, Bey and Jay.

The champagne the iconic couple brought to the Golden Globes was Armand de Brignac, a company that Jay-Z owns a stake in. Colloquially known as the "Ace of Spades" champagne due to the brand's logo, these are the same bubbles that arrived at Witherspoon's home, along with a card that said "more water"—an inside nod to their Golden Globes exchange.

Witherspoon documented the surprise gift on her Instagram story, which she opened immediately with her mom Betty, who approves!

Jennifer Aniston updated her Instagram Story this afternoon with a juicy Golden Globes story that had nothing to do with Brad Pitt or their after party meeting. Apparently Aniston and Reese Witherspoon had a moment with Beyoncé herself during the ceremony. They got a glass of the champagne that Bey and Jay-Z brought in...or really, their bodyguard. A man brought in two bottles of Armand de Brignac Champagne for Bey and Jay-Z's table.

Witherspoon dared to ask Beyoncé for a glass when their table's water supply ran out. Aniston told the tale on her Instagram: "Reese!? This is one of the many reasons I love you," she wrote over a selfie of them. "We ran out of water at our table. So naturally, she asked Jay Z and Beyoncé for a glass of their champagne." Aniston then shared an Instagram Story of herself drinking it and tagged Beyoncé's account. Quick question: Which one of your friends is the Reese Witherspoon of the group, the one who'd have the guts to ask Beyonce for anything?

On her grid, Aniston shared a more traditional dress post, giving a shoutout to her team. "Last night," Aniston captioned it. "My little women. Supported me all night. (Had enough room for them and then some under that gown!) Thank you @Dior for this stunning piece of art 🖤"

She also, as Cosmopolitan pointed out, liked a photo of Brad Pitt that photographer Alexi Lubomirski posted from Golden Globes night. But she also liked many of his other portraits from the ceremony, so there may not be too much to read in there.

Aniston and Pitt had a brief reunion at CAA's Globes after party, a source told E!. "They said hello very quickly," a source said. "Jen arrived after Brad. It was brief, but [they] were very cordial and friendly and seemed happy to be there. They approached each other once they saw each other inside and looked happy as they started to hug and say hello. Jen whispered something to Brad, but it wasn't in an affectionate way. They both didn't seem like they wanted to make a big deal about being together in the same room although it was a private party. They were trying to be low-key. Brad left shortly after and didn't stay at the party long."
