We Are Thrilling to See What “Friends” Heroes’ Kids in Real Life Look Like

Being a parent is a rollercoaster of emotions, from joy and laughter to challenges and surprises. It’s like having your own favorite TV show with characters you love, and every day is a new episode. Speaking of TV shows, Friends was one of the greatest, and now, it’s thrilling to imagine what the children of our beloved characters might be like.

Maggie Wheeler’s daughters Gemma and Juno

The unforgettable Janice from Friends, Maggie Wheeler, embraces motherhood with two daughters, Gemma and Juno, alongside her husband, Daniel Wheeler. Gemma gained viral fame on TikTok in 2020, skillfully channeling her mother’s signature line from the show. Wheeler, ever-supportive, has made cameo appearances in some of Gemma’s videos, showcasing their delightful mother-daughter dynamic.

David Schwimmer’s daughter Cleo

In 2011, David Schwimmer, who portrayed Ross Geller, and his ex-wife Zoë Buckman welcomed their daughter, Cleo. Although Schwimmer typically keeps details about his daughter private, he opened up on the Today show in January 2018 about discussions regarding bodily autonomy with 6-and-a-half-year-old Cleo. Emphasizing the importance of personal space and building confidence in her, Schwimmer spoke about instilling the courage to speak out and speak up.

Lisa Kudrow’s son Julian

Lisa Kudrow’s son, Julian, not only holds a special place in her heart but also played a role in the Friends storyline. Kudrow shared the touching experience of her castmates including her pregnancy in Phoebe Buffay’s storyline during the show’s fourth season. At the Friends: The Reunion taping in 2021, Kudrow revealed that her 25-year-old son expressed pride in her accomplishments.

In an emotional moment, Kudrow recalled Julian approaching her and saying, “Can I say that I’m really proud of you?” — a gesture that touched her deeply.

Matt LeBlanc’s daughter Marina

Matt LeBlanc, who brought Joey Tribbiani to life, shares a close bond with his 19-year-old daughter, Marina Pearl, from his past marriage to Melissa McKnight. She was diagnosed with a brain problem, but they were able to get through it all.

In a 2016 interview, LeBlanc revealed his involvement in the lives of McKnight’s other children, Tyler (32) and Jacquelyn (28). Although Marina is kept mostly out of the limelight, LeBlanc shared in 2016 that her interests included “horses and Rihanna.”

Courteney Cox’s daughter Coco

Known for her iconic role as Monica Geller in the beloved TV series, Courteney Cox proudly shares her life with her 19-year-old daughter, Coco, from her previous marriage with David Arquette. Whether attending glamorous red carpet premieres for Cox’s latest film, Scream VI, or joining in the celebration of her mother’s Hollywood Walk of Fame induction, Coco remains a steadfast supporter.

Despite not having children of her own, Jennifer Aniston, famously recognized as Rachel Green, assumes the role of Coco’s godmother. Expressing her love and amazement at Coco’s rapid growth in a heartfelt comment on a 2019 photo, Aniston fondly said, “Coco! You’re growing up way too fast. Or am I just being protective? I love you deep. ❤️❤️❤️❤️”

It’s like continuing the story and seeing a new generation of friends unfold. Imagining the adventures and quirks of Ross, Rachel, Monica, Joey, and Phoebe’s kids adds an extra layer of excitement to the parenting journey. Just like our favorite show, parenting has its own script with unexpected twists and heartwarming moments that make the whole experience uniquely wonderful.
