Either way, the duo have remained close throughout all their relationships. Claims of Perry's life-long crush on Cox come after a Friends reunion looks set to finally be happening, 25 years after it first hit screens.

According to reports in the US, all six stars of the hit show are in talks to work together once more. The Hollywood Reporter and Variety claim the special programme would be shown on new streaming site HBO Max.

While the stars of the hit show, which ended in 2004, are reportedly in talks about filming together again, it won't be a reboot of the original series.
