Though it may not seem like it all of the time, it’s a small world, and it is easy for people who work together to run in the same circles… Which sometimes leads to them sleeping with the same people. There seems to be some debate over what to call two women who have dated (and/or slept with) the same man; some people refer to them as “Eskimo sisters,” while other people claim that the correct phrase is “Pogo sisters.” You know, because they’ve ridden the same “pogo stick.”
Let’s not get hung up on the terminology, though. Here are a couple of surprising examples of famous women who have dated the same men.
Jennifer Aniston & Courtney Cox

These Friends co-stars have gotten very friendly with the same man. They are Eskimo sisters because they have both dated Counting Crows frontman, Adam Duritz. Duritz dated Aniston for a week and then promptly moved on to Cox.
Both women have moved on, and I think they can do better, to be honest.
Cameron Diaz & Kate Hudson

These two stunning actresses have both dated professional athlete Alex Rodriguez. Talk about getting around the bases!
Drew Barrymore & Kristen Wiig

Actress Drew Barrymore went out with Strokes drummer Fabrizio Moretti until 2007. Four years later, actress Kristen Wiig became her Eskimo sister when she decided to date Moretti.
The two women are friends, but Barrymore does not seem to be bothered by this. It happens.
Taylor Swift & Ellie Goulding

Ellie Goulding dated Calvin Harris in 2014, and when things didn’t work out between the two of them, Goulding set him up with her friend Taylor Swift in 2015.
“They’re both really awesome and both really tall, they’ll be brilliant together,” Goulding decided. However, Swift and Harris have since separated, so none of these musicians are in a relationship with each other anymore.
Lindsay Lohan & Hilary Duff

These were two of my favorite actresses as a child, and as soon as I heard that they were Eskimo sisters, I had to know which guy they had in common. That would be musician Aaron Carter.
Duff is now married to someone else, and she’s a mom (wow, I feel old)! Lohan does not seem to be dating anyone right now.
