In a recent interview, Kudrow’s candid remarks about her long-standing union have left fans curious about the state of her personal life.

In an appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show, Kudrow, 61, made a rare comment about her relationship with Stern, with whom she shares a 26-year-old son, Julian. Discussing their upcoming milestone, she said, “This is 2025, it'll be 30 years. It's not a romance, it's even more than a family member.” Kudrow described their bond as “the most intimate relationship you can have,” adding, “It’s different from kids but by 30 years... I'm not going anywhere! No way! That's how I feel about it.”

The couple, known for their private nature, have rarely spoken publicly about their relationship. Kudrow’s recent remarks have sparked intrigue among fans and media, wondering if everything is well in their marriage.

Kudrow rose to fame alongside Jennifer Aniston, Matt LeBlanc, David Schwimmer, Courteney Cox, and the late Matthew Perry on Friends. During her appearance on Barrymore’s show, she also shared a touching story about Perry, revealing he had left her a note in a cookie jar prop on their final day of filming. “I had recently found the note that he had in it for me. I hadn’t opened it up or looked inside of it,” she shared. Perry passed away in 2023 at the age of 54.

Lisa Kudrow and Michel Stern married in May 1995. Stern, an advertising executive, originally from France, moved to the U.S. in the 1980s for his career. The couple, who prefer to stay out of the spotlight, are rarely seen together, aside from occasional red-carpet appearances.
