Cox and Perry co-starred on the popular television sitcom Friends from 1994 to 2004.
(Warning: spoilers for an 11-year-old television show with a very well known plot follow.)
Their characters, Monica Geller and Chandler Bing, got together at the wedding of Monica's brother, Ross, at the end of season four, and spent much of the fifth season hiding their relationship from their friends.
Over the course of the series' remaining five seasons, they married, adopted twins and, in the show's final episode, were shown to leave their New York apartment for a new life in the suburbs.
Star reports that Cox called Perry, 46, for support after her break-up with McDaid.
"Matthew invited her over to talk one night, and they ended up hooking up!" a "source" told the tabloid, adding that while the couple were not rushing into labelling their relationship, they were "excited to see where this might go".
Cox was married to actor David Arquette from 1999 to 2012. They have one daughter, 11-year-old Coco.
Perry was most recently romantically linked to actor Lizzy Caplan, whom he split from in 2012.
However, the reports about Monica and Chandler's romance should probably be taken with a grain of salt.
Previous dubious reporting by Star magazine includes a Kardashians story this year which alleged that Scott Disick, 32, was cheating on the mother of his three children, Kourtney Kardashian, 36, with her then-teenage sister, Kendall Jenner.
In 2011, Katie Holmes sued the tabloid for libel after it suggested she abused drugs. The matter settled out of court, with Star apologising and making a "substantial donation" to a charity of Holmes' choice.
