Due to circumstances in Cougar Town star, Courteney Cox’s personal life, fans of the ABC comedy will be left hanging as they wait to learn whether Cox’s Jules Cobb can land a younger man, reports E! News.

“We can confirm production on Cougar Town has been temporarily shut down in order for Courteney to deal with a private family matter,” said a statement released by ABC.

No word on the nature of the problem or when production is expected to resume.

Courtney Cox says her best friend and former Friends co-star may show up on her upcoming show, Cougar Town, reports Perez Hilton.

“You know, she’s a good friend and I know she loves the show,” said Cox at a press conference. “I’m not going to say she is going to do it because I don’t know. But if Bill Lawrence writes her a character, I’m sure she’ll be glad to do it.”

Cougar Town premieres this fall on ABC and follows Cox’s character, a recent divorcee and mom to a teenage son, as she re-enters the world of dating.
