At the pinnacle of superstardom, Jennifer Aniston ruled the screens as Rachel Green for the latter’s romance with David Schwimmer’s Ross Geller on Friends. A revolving plot line throughout its ten seasons – the sheer fan interest behind the two characters’ chemistry knew no bounds. At one point in the show, the duo did get briefly married. However, a question still lingered- whether Rachel married Ross after that fateful ending. While fan theories abound, an answer from the actress herself might help clear the air.

With their marital fate after the show’s tenth season never finding an explicit answer or clue, the right one might just be one guess away.

Did Rachel Green get married to Ross Geller after the Friends finale?

The biggest romantic showdown in Friends happened in the season 10 finale episode when David Schiwmmer’s character finally got together with Jennifer Aniston’s. Soon after, the show ended with one final scene of the cast fading into the distance. Thus, no canonical proof ever answered if Ross married Rachel thereafter. Playing coy to it, in February 2023, during Courteney Cox’s Hollywood Walk of Fame speech, The Morning Show actress said, “We don’t know what happened.” 

The string of events started when the host mistakenly called Aniston’s character Rachel Geller instead of Rachel Green. Stretching it, Cox pitched to her co-star, “I seriously thought you guys got married.” While the latter confirmed that the on-screen couple “went to Paris”, the concrete answer lay open to interpretation. However, the consensus so far has remained that the duo at some point did settle for each other and hopefully did not fall for another “We were on a break!”

On the side of reality, however, the two artists behind that famed on-screen couple did end up heartbreakingly away from one another.

Jennifer Aniston and David Schwimmer let their feelings do the acting at times

In May 2021, when Friends: The Reunion aired, a riveting revelation unfolded. David Schwimmer and Jennifer Aniston admitted to having mutual crushes on one another during the show. However, they never could act upon it or confess the same because one of them was always in a relationship with someone else while the other remained in a lurch.

The heart-wrenching twist of fate ultimately defined the two co-star’s chemistry. Marking their first kiss on television, both of the actors acknowledged letting their feelings play out in the moment. Never able to be by each other’s side in real life, their reel chemistry sealed their unrequited love.
