Washington, Mar 10 : Actress Jennifer Aniston has revealed that she still considers her `Friends' co-stars `family'.

Even though the group including David Schwimmer, Courteney Cox, Matthew Perry, Matt LeBlanc and Lisa Kudrow rarely has time to meet up, Aniston says they'll always be family.

However, the 40-year-old star has remained good friends with Cox since the comedy series ended in 2004.

"You have grand plans, like ''We''ll have dinner once a month.'' And then, life happens; times change. It leaves me feeling sort of melancholy but, you know, something like that will always be there," Contactmusic quoted her as saying.

"We were as close as a family could ever be during those 10 years. They will always be my family, whether we are in the same room and talking regularly or not. We grew up together," she added. (ANI)
