Reese Witherspoon has a close bond with several of her Hollywood co-stars, although very few run as deep as the one with her Big Little Lies co-star Nicole Kidman.
On the occasion of the Moulin Rouge star's birthday, the mom-of-three took to social media with a sweet birthday tribute.

While many of their fans just adored seeing the enduring love the two had for each other, many took this as a sign that their show could be returning soon, or at least there remained hope.

When asked about whether the show would return, she said: "There's a third part being concocted. [Author] Liane Moriarty is working on a book.
"Our group of women, we all want to do it. There's just the kernel of the idea at the moment that needs to be solidified."
Nicole also talked about the show on Radio Andy in 2021 and, while she was less certain about the series' return then, she did express how much she wanted to reunite with her co-stars.
The award-winning show only ran for two seasons
"The idea of being together at a point in your life where you go, 'it's nice to be around the people I like being around and working with the people I like working around, let alone on a...hit show like that', it's not on the cards but we would like to do it."
