Throughout Friends‘ 10 seasons, iconic characters Rachel Green, Chandler Bing, Ross Geller and more experienced parenthood. Similar to real life, Courteney Cox, Matt LeBlanc and other stars had children, and it’s time to learn all about the families of the beloved cast!

Courteney is the mom of her only daughter, Coco Arquette, whom she shares with ex-husband David Arquette. Matt, on the other hand, is also a doting dad of one, having welcomed his daughter, Marina LeBlanc, with his former spouse, Melissa McKnight.

Lisa Kudrow and David Schwimmer are proud parents off the screen as well. The Comeback actress is the mom of her son, Julian Murray Stern, with husband Michel Stern, while the comedian shares his daughter, Cleo Buckman Schwimmer, with his ex-wife, Zoe Buckman.

Out of the six main characters, Jennifer Aniston and Matthew Perry are the only two who have yet to have any kids. Despite not experiencing parenthood, the Morning Show star was previously married twice: to Brad Pitt from 2000 to 2005 and Justin Theroux from 2015 to 2017.

Whether or not Jennifer ever has any kiddos of her own, she said she’s OK with only playing the role of a mother in films or on TV. The We’re the Millers alum said because she doesn’t “need to be married or [be a mom] to be complete,” she isn’t stressed about experiencing motherhood.

“We are complete with or without a mate, with or without a child … that decision is ours and ours alone,” she wrote in a letter published by The Huffington Post in July 2016. “We get to determine our own ‘happily ever after’ for ourselves.”

While Jennifer might not be a mom to her own children, she does have some parental responsibilities as she’s the godmother of Courteney’s daughter, Coco, per People.

Courteney Cox

The Cougar Town actress, who played Monica Geller on Friends, became a mom when she gave birth to Coco on June 13, 2004. Courteney welcomed Coco during her marriage with David, which lasted from 1999 to 2013. Though they’ve gone their separate ways, the star and Scream actor have maintained an amicable coparenting relationship.

Coco is quickly growing up, and she’s following in her mom and dad’s footsteps. Not only does she sing and play instruments, but the brunette beauty is an up-and-coming actress. Per IMDb, she acted in Just Before I Go in 2014, and she’s also appeared on You Cannot Kill David Arquette, CNN Newsroom, E! True Hollywood Story and VH1: All Access.

It sounds like Coco is going to fill some big shoes!

Matt LeBlanc

At the time he was starring as Joey Tribbiani, Matt became the loving dad of his daughter, Marina. The beautiful brunette was born on February 8, 2004, during his marriage to Melissa. The exes were together from 2003 to 2006.

Marina has made a few rare outings with her dad over the years, but she lives most of her life out of the spotlight. In 2016, Matt told People his daughter’s biggest interests were “horses” and artist Rihanna. “So that’s what I’m into,” he sweetly joked.

Lisa Kudrow

Lisa, who portrayed Phoebe Buffay on the sitcom, is a mama to her son, Julian, who was born on May 7, 1998. The Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion alum shares her young man with her longtime husband, Michel, whom she wed in 1995.

Lisa’s son is quite the talented guy as he’s a rising actor and producer. Most recently, he became a college graduate when he received his degree from the School of Cinematic Arts at the University of Southern California in May 2021. The proud mom shared a snap of two as he donned his cap and gown, writing, “Happy proud HAPPY. And a little crying.”

David Schwimmer

David is best known for playing Ross Geller on Friends, but in real life, he’s a dad to his daughter, Cleo. The Madagascar star welcomed his only child in 2011 with ex-wife Zoe. The former pair were married from 2010 to 2017.

Because David is very private when it comes to his family, it’s not often for the actor to comment on his role as a dad. However, Zoe loves sharing photos of their beautiful daughter on Instagram, and after taking one look at her page, it’s obvious Cleo looks just like her famous father.

Jennifer Aniston

Jennifer’s character Rachel Green became a mom on Friends when she gave birth to Emma Geller-Green, but the star has held off from having kids off the screen. Though motherhood has yet to come knocking on her door, Jennifer once revealed she always dreamed of welcoming a baby.

“I’ve never in my life said I didn’t want to have children. I did and I do!” she told Vanity Fair in 2006. “The women that inspire me are the ones who have careers and children; why would I want to limit myself? I’ve always wanted to have children, and I would never give up that experience for a career. I want to have it all.”

Matthew Perry

Matthew — who starred as Chandler Bing — is set to walk down the aisle with his bride-to-be, Molly, so it’s possible the future has children in store for the two. This will be the first time the actor says “I do,” but it certainly isn’t the only serious relationship Matthew has been in.

In the past, he’s dated Julia Roberts, Maeve Quinlan, Rachel Dunn and more. However, Matthew’s relationships always ended before he had a chance to welcome kids.
