Despite their personal history, Cox and Arquette still have managed to work together.
“We always love working together,” he said.
He answered, “My daughter, Coco, because divorce is so difficult.”
But Courteney Cox, while appearing happy onscreen, was actually going through immense loss during that time.
“It was like that same time.
Oh my God, it was terrible having to be funny,” she shared.
Cox was married to David Arquette at the time and tragically shared that she had suffered seven miscarriages.
She was formally diagnosed with an MTHFR gene mutation, which heightened her chances of getting blood clots.
It wasn’t until she went through the IVF process that Cox was able tohave a baby.

So to me, I just thought this would not be a problem at all,” she said.

“Hi from the girls across the hall,” Aniston captioned the post.
“They follow each other’s lives.
But Cox, as noted byPeople, said that she’d be happy to see the gang back together.
So is there a glimmer of hope?
Nope, because Cox followed by saying, “But I don’t see it happening.”
I don’t know if there’s a way to redo it,” she said.
Though we’re all waiting for that reboot, the gang will be back for theFriends reunion special.
“People will say, ‘Why do you let Coco wear so much makeup?’
She’s been wearing makeup forever, that is a self-expression for her,” Cox said.
“She loves to dress up.
While she’s gotten some flack for supporting her daughter’s habits, Cox remained steadfast.
It was a defining aspect of the show that provided so much comfort, love, and laughter.
The rest, of course, is history.

What was in Cox’s kitchen that made it look so appealing?
Last, but certainly not least, were Cox’s perfectly-organized pantry containers.
“Monica was such a mothering character.
After that I wanted to do something really different,” Cox said.
“Monica is very girl next door.
She might have been annoying, but she was sweet,” Cox said.
Though we all love Monica, we certainly understand her desire to branch out.
“I’m very specific.”
“I’ve had a nice career.
I’ve been lucky to have been on successful television series that have spanned for 16 years.”
“I have more roles to play.
I’m not done yet,” she said.
