Yes, "Friends" stars are still friends in real life, as Jennifer Aniston is the godmother of Coco, Courteney’s daughter; Matt LeBlanc traveled to support Perry for his written play; and many more instances can be caught on their social media handles.
Friends is a popular 1990s American sitcom that revolves around the everyday lives of six friends Rachel, Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler, and Phoebe, living in New York City. The show documents their socio-economic perspectives coupled with humor.
The Friends cast includes Jennifer Aniston as Rachel Green, Courtney Cox as Monica Geller, David Schwimmer as Ross Geller, Matt LeBlanc as Joey Tribbiani, and Lisa Kudrow as Phoebe Buffay.
The last time the entire cast came together was for the HBO Max Friends Reunion in 2021.
Jennifer Aniston, Courtney Cox, and Lisa Kudrow’s Friendship
The most well-known post-Friends besties are Aniston and Cox, but Kudrow actually remains close with the two of them as well. Aniston, Cox, and Kudrow appeared together in a cameo for the remote version of the 2020 Emmy Awards, pulling out the schtick that they’ve been "roommates since 1994." The trio also make frequent appearances on each other’s social media accounts.
According to Entertainment Weekly, Cox was honored with the 2,750th star by the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce where Kudrow and Aniston gave a joint speech to honor their friendship.
Matt LeBlanc and the late Matthew Perry
It turns out that Joey and Chandler were best friends in real life as well as on the television show.
According to Hello Magazine, in 2016, LeBlanc said of Perry, "I saw him yesterday. I love that guy! I can not see him for five years and then get in a room together and still have that shorthand with each other. It’s amazing, really; after ten years in a building with no windows and the doors locked, we got to know each other pretty well."
After the passing of Mathew Perry, the cast gave out a joint statement to People Magazine that read,
"We are all so utterly devastated by the loss of Matthew. We were more than just cast mates. We are a family," their statement reads. "There is so much to say, but right now we’re going to take a moment to grieve and process this unfathomable loss."
"In time we will say more, as and when we are able," the statement continues. "For now, our thoughts and our love are with Matty’s family, his friends, and everyone who loved him around the world."
