Muniz recently shared he'd "love to catch up."
But an insider added: "She's not returning that call. Not now. Not ever."
While Muniz is hoping to reconnect with his former co-star, he has said farewell to his Hollywood days many years ago.
The former actor told Us Weekly in September: "I’m so lucky taking that step back happened, because it made me appreciate everything more. It allowed me to do other things and realize a lot more about myself."
Muniz has since moved to Arizona to restart after his time in the industry.
He explained: "Honestly, I did not like L.A. So I moved to Arizona, and I love it. I feel like it saved my life in the sense that I started enjoying the little aspects of life more."
