Despite the TV show “Friends” being full of smiling characters, actors had their own real-life issues going on behind the scenes. It turns out filming the iconic birth scene in the 90s show wasn’t easy for Cox, who was going through her own fertility issues at the time. Despite putting on a brave face, not many people knew about her eye-opening and heart-wrenching story. Even the funniest characters in our favorite shows are going through hardships, and this is a good reminder of that.

The “Friends” cast had their problems, and so did Cox

In the show, Monica Geller strongly desired cleanliness, and Courtney Cox’s preference in real life wasn’t that far off. Another thing she could relate to was the difficulty of starting a family. While Monica was trying to have a baby of her own, Cox experienced multiple miscarriages in her own life.
