A dedicated Friends fan thinks they have cracked one of the show's longstanding mysteries—the identity of Phoebe's third bridesmaid.

The sitcom may have ended way back in 2004 but its popularity endures and its fans will never tire of seeing or reading about Ross, Rachel, Monica, Chandler, Joey and Phoebe.

Fans will remember that in one of the later episodes, "The One With Phoebe's Wedding," Lisa Kudrow's character finally ties the knot with her longtime boyfriend, Mike (who is played by Paul Rudd).

In the episode, Monica's (Courtney Cox) intense wedding planning upsets Phoebe, who wants a more low-key ceremony, so eventually they opt for a simple one outside on the street in the snow with only a handful of attendees.

Monica is one of Phoebe's bridesmaids alongside Rachel (Jennifer Anniston), but there is also a third mystery woman who has never really been acknowledged, a dark-haired third woman wearing a fluffy pink coat.

Well, one TikToker appears to have figured out the woman's identity, and it seems so obvious now.

In the viral TikTok shared by user @therealgregoryj, the Friends fan points out a Season 6 episode in which Phoebe gets upset when the others don't remember her roommate, Denise,

"I don't understand," Chandler (Matthew Perry) asks in the clip. "How can you have a roommate that none of us know about?"

"Maybe because you never listen to anything that I say," Phoebe says, frustrated. "Denise!"

While other Friends fans commented that the woman could possibly be Mike's sister, many are pretty convinced it could be roommate Denise, and the video has clocked up more than 1 million views.

"Oh my gosh you guys, guess who it is!" the original poster said and shared the clip from the Season 6 episode.

Kudrow made headlines last week when she revealed that Jerry Seinfeld once told her "you're welcome' for Friends' success.

"I remember going to some party and Jerry Seinfeld was there, and I said, 'Hi,' and he said, 'You're welcome,'" the actress told The Daily Beast. "I said, 'Why, thank you ... what?'"

She added that Seinfeld then told her: "You're on after us in the summer, and you're welcome."

"That's exactly right. Thank you." Kudrow said she responded to the comedian.

She added: "Not to take anything away from the writing on Friends, or the cast, or how good Friends really was but the first season our ratings were just fine."
