Years later, Stern split with Kudrow's roommate, and they reconnected and got married in 1995. They later welcomed a son, Julian Murray.

The couple welcomed their first and only daughter, Alexandra, in 1990 and went on to have three more kids: twins Matthew and Gregory in 1993 and son Joseph in 1998.
