Lisa Kudrow, 62, made a rare appearance with her family at the premiere for season 3 of the HBO Max sitcom โThe Comebackโ on Thursday, March 19.
The โHanging Upโ star looked as gorgeous as ever as she posed on the red carpet alongside her husband of 30 years, advertising executive Michel Stern, and their son Julian Stern, a University of Southern California graduate.
The star-studded premiere took place at the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts in Beverly Hills, the Daily Mail reported.
Lisa Kudrow Says the โLuckiest Thingโ Was Falling in Love With Her Husband
GettyAhead of the event, Kudrow spoke with The Hollywood Reporter about how thankful she is that she met her husband before her fame took off with the success of โFriends.โ
โI feel like the luckiest thing that happened to me was that I met and fell in love with the man I was going to spend the rest of my life with before Friends, right before,โ she shared.
Kudrow went on to explain how she and Michel were taken aback by their sonโs acting abilities after he was cast in his high school play. Fortunately for Julian, his mom is the co-creator of โThe Comebackโ and was able to cast him in the third and final season, premiering on Sunday, March 22.
โMy husband and I were boo-hoo-hooing [at Julian’s monologue in his high school play The Laramie Project], and I went, โOkay, he’s got something,โโ she told The Hollywood Reporter.
Kudrow said that her son plays the role of an AI tech expert in season 3, which will premiere 12 years after season 2 and 21 years after the debut of its first season. โHeโs got talents I don’t have,โ the actress praised of her only child.
While filming โThe Comeback,โ Kudrow and Julian would often embrace their mother-son relationship. With some production members on set not being aware they’re family, Kudrow told People that it made for some fairly awkward stares.

GettyโI was kind of tired, and my brain was just a little fuzzy, and I’ve been looking at lines. I walked in and I saw Julian sitting on the couch with some other people, like, โOh,โ and just walked over and climbed onto the couch right next to him and cuddled in,โ she told People.
โAnd everyone just went … And he went, โHi, Mom,โ and everyone was looking,โ Kudrow added. โIt was maybe inappropriate, just like to climb on him. I think some people didn’t know he was my son. So they were still wondering, โWhat’s happening right now?โโ
Kudrow and Stern welcomed their son in 1998 after tying the knot in 1995. In a previous interview with Glamour, the actress explained how she and her husband decided not to bet on forever and instead enjoy their relationship one day at a time.
โWhen [Michel and I] decided to get married, we understood: Weโre not promising to love each other forever, because you canโt do that, but we are promising to work on whatever problems come up,โ she said. โWeโre committed to our marriage working. It turns out, after you have a history, thereโs such a bond, and love takes another shape. But, oh, I donโt want to jinx it โ Iโm superstitious!โ
