Their relationship was explored during the reunion.

Asked by reunion host James Corden if any of the stars ever grew close, Schwimmer said: “The first season I had a major crush on Jen. And I think we both, at some point, were crushing hard on each other but it was like two ships passing because one of us was always in a relationship and we never crossed that boundary. We respected that.”

Aniston confirmed they never acted on their feelings off-screen and added: “So we just channelled all of our adoration and love for each other into Ross and Rachel.”
