Kudrow has said that her sonJulian Stern, 24,used to think Aniston was his motherwhen he visited theFriendsset as a kid. “He got a little confused, I know that he was really obsessed with Jen Aniston,” she said onConanlast year.
“He’d fly into her lap,” she recalled. “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.
TheComebackstar previously recalled how Aniston and fellowFriendsalumCourteney Coxshowed up tosupport her after her mother diedat the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic as she appeared on SiriusXM’sThe Howard Stern Showlast year.
“These women came running to support, that was really nice,” she said. “They came to the funeral, it wasn’t a lot of notice, and they were there.”

Kudrowtold PEOPLEof the cast’s long-lasting bond at the time: “I feel like we can pick up right where we left off, and no time’s passed. We’re connected no matter what.”
“It’s still, to me, one of the greatest jobs I’ve ever had,” Aniston added. “It goes so beyond the work and what the show was, which was, in and of itself, just a spectacular phenomenon, but the friendships and family that came out of it is just — you can’t put words to that really. It’s priceless.”
