Santa Monica, CA – *EXCLUSIVE* – Courteney Cox has her hands full while running errands in Santa Monica this afternoon.
During the Friends reunion, debuted today on HBO Max, a report from MyHeritage.com claims that Courteney Cox and Matthew Perry, who portrayed friends turned couple Monica Gellar and Chandler Bing on the series, are actually cousins!
Well, 11th cousins, that is! Apparently, the duo share relatives William Osbern Haskell III and Ellen Haskell, a married couple who lived more than 500 years ago in England. (Hmm, maybe Lisa Kudrow’s Friends character Phoebe Buffay met them in one of her past lives?) The connection is made through Courteney Copeland, who is Courteney’s mom, and Matthew’s dad, John Bennett Perry.
While these two may not have known they are related until now, Courteney and Matthew have remained tight since Friends ended in 2004.
