The two women – who starred on the hit American sitcom together for 10 years from 1994 to 2004 – have a close bond. So close, in fact, that Kudrow’s son Julian Stern, 24, thought Aniston was his mother.
Last year, Kudrow revealed on an episode of Conan that Julian spent so much time on the Friends set as a child, that he got ‘a little confused.’
‘He’d fly into her lap. Well, she’s a love bug, and that made sense. And I was always glad for anyone that Julian felt love for and felt from,’ she recalled.

‘But then at home, she’d be on TV, and he’d go, “Mommy!”‘ Kudrow shared.
‘I’m kind of analytical so I’m like, “Is this wishful thinking? Do they have some kind of higher soul connection that I don’t have with him?” I’m happy for both of them,’ she joked.
Last year Kudrow also praised Aniston and their other Friends co-star Courteney Cox for showing up for her when her mother passed away at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, while appearing on SiriusXM’s The Howard Stern Show.

‘These women came running to support, that was really nice. They came to the funeral, it wasn’t a lot of notice, and they were there,’ she shared.
The Friends cast – including Cox, Matthew Perry, David Schwimmer and Matt LeBlanc – reunited for the HBO Max reunion special last May, at which time Kudrow told PEOPLE how deep of a bond she shared with her co-stars.
‘I feel like we can pick up right where we left off, and no time’s passed. We’re connected no matter what,’ she said.
