Even though the whole cast rarely got back together, Kudrow remained close to her female co-stars Aniston and Cox over the years.
Aniston previously explained the trio are like “family”.
Speaking with Variety for their Actors on Actors series, she explained: “We see each other. I talked on FaceTime with Court last night for an hour, and Lisa and the boys, and we just have a really – it’s a family forever.”

The show ran from 1994 to 2004 and Kudrow recently admitted the group had to work hard at becoming pals in real life.
Appearing on Dax Shepard’s Armchair Expert podcast, she confessed the “six-way relationship took some work”, and the group “worked hard at being friends”.
Over the 10 seasons, the castmates became genuine pals away from the camera, and so they would try to “really talk things through” if there were any disagreements.
She recalled: “If someone said something or did something, it didn’t get too big because it was, ‘Can I talk to you?’”
Kudrow admitted it was “usually not her” who would open up the conversations, because she “never knew that was allowed” in terms of having straightforward chats in that way.
She added: “I had to learn to be like, ‘Can I talk to you about something?’”
