And I’m getting there. I’m starting to believe it.”

I didn’t have a hotel room, so we had to sleep in the same room in the same bed. The first day we even traveled together,” Cobb told iVillage. “We sat up all night. It was like a slumber party. We just hit it off immediately.”
These two are still friends to this day. They were both bridesmaids at each other’s weddings and they also managed to get pregnant at the same time.

Without giving away too much of my private stuff, all I can say is she’s been there for me through thick and thin.”
Cox feels the same way about her former co-star and best friend. “We’ve known each other nearly 15 years now, we grew up together emotionally. I lost my father, Jen got divorced, and I had a baby. We’ve been through huge life changes together. I can be myself around her,” the “Cougar Town” star said. “We never judge each other, we support each other, but we’re honest with each other too. I feel lucky to have her.”
