The sitcom also starred David Schwimmer, Matt LeBlanc and the late Matthew Perry.
Although the series concluded more than 20 years ago, the three actresses have continued to publicly celebrate their friendship, particularly on birthdays and other milestones. Earlier this year, Cox marked Aniston’s 57th birthday with an Instagram tribute featuring photos of Aniston, Laura Dern and Isla Fisher. “Apparently Geminis like Aquarians! So many birthdays this month,” Cox wrote. “I’m so lucky to have these ‘air’ heads in my life.”
For Aniston’s 56th birthday, Cox described her as a “friend for life” and wrote: “Never has there been a more generous, loving, beautiful, talented, funny, loyal friend,” she said.
“I feel so lucky to be growing up with you.”
Aniston has also celebrated Cox over the years. On Cox’s 60th birthday, she called her “powerful, magical, mystical, interesting, interested” and “ferociously talented.”
“She’s funny like no other, STUNNING on the inside and out. Independent in the most gorgeous way, cares for everyone even if she doesn’t know you,” she continued. “I can’t imagine a world without her.
It’s one of my great honors to call her one of my best friends for life.”
Lisa Kudrow once explained their lasting bond In 2024, Aniston and Cox also celebrated Kudrow’s 61st birthday. Aniston called The Comeback actress a “superwoman” and shared a throwback image from a Friends Halloween episode. “I LOVE YOU FLOOSH!” she captioned the post. Cox shared her own throwback with Kudrow, writing, “Happy Birthday my Loot! I couldn’t love you more.”
That same year, Kudrow spoke about her Friends experience during an appearance on Dax Shepard’s Armchair Expert. Reflecting on the cast’s relationship, she said: “It was great, we really did get along,” she noted.
“We also worked hard at being friends. That six-way relationship took some work and we did it.”
“[It was] really talking things through,” Kudrow continued. “If someone said something or did something, it didn’t get too big, because it was, ‘Can I talk to you?’ — usually not me, because I had to learn to be, ‘Can I talk to you about something?’ because I never knew that was allowed. But I saw it modeled really well by Courteney and Jennifer and Matt. Respectful communication.”
