FRIENDS has featured many romantic relationships over its 10 seasons. As much as we love Ross and Rachel’s ongoing and off-going relationship, Chandler and Monica’s relationship touched everyone’s hearts too. They were perhaps the steadiest couple in FRIENDS. It was wonderful to see them reach a point where they welcomed twins by a surrogate and later getting into the life of suburbs. We were always left to wonder if in real life too they were in a relationship. The fans couldn’t keep their calm when fiction tipped over into reality. Reportedly, Matthew Perry once said that since the show ended in 2004, he had deep feelings for his FRIENDS co-star, Courteney Cox.

It’s 17 years of crush!!!!

Courteney Cox was married to David Arquette throughout the half-end of the series. But, they split up in October 2010 only to date Johnny McDaid, three years later. However, during her brief separation with Johnny in 2015, she looked upon Matthew for emotional support and that bonding had finally become something more. Reportedly, a source told Perez Hilton, “It’s no surprise that Matthew was one of the first people Courteney called after Johnny left her. They have leaned on each other before. There isn’t any pressure to put a label on it just yet, but they are excited to see where this might go.”

Shutting down the whole speculations, Courteney reunited with Johnny and Matthew started dating Molly Hurwitz.

However, a Hollywood insider has revealed that Matthew has always been in love with Courteney and has never been able to fully get over her. And, Judi James, a body language expert believes the signs are there. She says, “At times their body language suggests sibling bonding with each looking out for the other, although there are some clues in their poses that the rumors of unrequited or even reciprocated love do hold water.”

The pair have remained close since 1994 when they started filming the show. They have always supported each other in failed relationships and everything else. They leaned in each other’s shoulder when needed, be it Courteney’s split with Johnny or Matthew’s addiction to alcohol and pills. It seems like Courteney is his lobster.

There are some moments that show their comfort and intimacy with each other. From time to time, they leave their fans wondering if something really is going on or not. Let’s take a look at those moments:
