The Friends actors have remained tight-lipped until this week as they have finally shared thoughts on the loss of their cast mate.
Now Jennifer, 54, has joined the others and broken her social media silence regarding the death of Matthew Perry on October 28.
The actress took to her Instagram profile on Wednesday where she shared a photo from the Friends set, a text message exchange between the two, and a scene from the show.
The black and white picture showed both Jennifer and Matthew seated while on set and reading lines with one another.

The late TV star smiled, seemingly mid-joke, while his female castmate burst into full-blown laughter.
The second slide showed a text exchange between the two Friends co-stars.
It included the black and white image that Matthew had sent to Jennifer, along with the message: "Making you laugh just made my day. It made my day," with a smiley face.
The actress had replied: "Awww the first of THOUSANDS of times," with a red heart, laughing, and star-eyed emojis.
According to the exchange, it seemed to have been the pair's first funny interaction while on set.
Finally, Jennifer added a scene from the NBC show where she and Matthew had an emotional conversation.
The clip ended with the actor making a funny joke - a staple of his career as a comedian.
JEN'S MESSAGE
Jennifer added a lengthy caption to the post, reading: "Oh boy this one has cut deep... Having to say goodbye to our Matty has been an insane wave of emotions that I’ve never experienced before.
"We all experience loss at some point in our lives. Loss of life or loss of love. Being able to really SIT in this grief allows you to feel the moments of joy and gratitude for having loved someone that deep.
"And we loved him deeply. He was such a part of our DNA. We were always the 6 of us. This was a chosen family that forever changed the course of who we were and what our path was going to be."

She continued: "For Matty, he KNEW he loved to make people laugh. As he said himself, if he didn't hear the ‘laugh’ he thought he was going to die. His life literally depended on it. And boy did he succeed in doing just that.
"He made all of us laugh. And laugh hard. In the last couple of weeks, I’ve been pouring over our texts to one another. Laughing and crying then laughing again.
"I’ll keep them forever and ever. I found one text that he sent me out of nowhere one day. It says it all. (See the second slide…).
"Matty, I love you so much and I know you are now completely at peace and out of any pain.
"I talk to you every day… sometimes I can almost hear you saying, 'Could you BE any crazier?'
"Rest little brother. You always made my day…" she closed.
FRIENDS FOREVER
On Wednesday, Jennifer joined her fellow Friends co-stars, David Schwimmer, Courteney Cox, and Matt LeBlanc, in honoring Perry after he was found dead at his Los Angeles home on October 28.
David also took to his Instagram profile on November 15 to post a photo with his lost friend.
The pair were dressed in brightly colored suits, and the actor's hair was coiffed in a 1980s style.
He wrote: "Matty, Thank you for ten incredible years of laughter and creativity.
"I will never forget your impeccable comic timing and delivery.
"You could take a straight line of dialogue and bend it to your will, resulting in something so entirely original and unexpectedly funny it still astonishes.
"And you had heart. Which you were generous with, and shared with us, so we could create a family out of six strangers.
"This photo is from one of my favorite moments with you. Now it makes me smile and grieve at the same time.
"I imagine you up there, somewhere, in the same white suit, hands in your pockets, looking around — 'Could there BE any more clouds?'"
