On "Friends," Cox and Perry's characters, Monica and Chandler, eventually become a couple, sharing intimate and hilarious moments in the latter half of the series.
The 59-year-old further shared some of her spiritual connections to other lost loved ones, like her parents, and how she still feels Perry with her.
"I’ve talked to my mom, my dad, Matthew. I feel like there are a lot of people that are… I think they guide us. I do sense, yeah, I sense Matthew’s around for sure," Cox said.
