Are Ross and Rachel still together? Imagining where the ‘Friends’ are 10 years later

Tuesday marks the 10-year anniversary of the “Friends” series finale. It’s hard to believe it’s been two decades since we first met Monica, Chandler, Joey, Ross, Phoebe and Rachel — in her wedding gown — over coffee at Central Perk.
By the time viewers said farewell, half of the sextet were married and had added to their numbers with kids of their own.
So what are they up to now? If they accepted our Facebook “friend” request (and why not, after the 238 episodes we shared?), what would we likely see on their timelines?
Let’s take a look through the yellow-framed peephole and see what might be there.
Rachel Green-Geller
First of all, Rachel is still rocking the most fabulous hair in the greater northeast region. And she can afford the best stylist in town: She’s Ralph Lauren’s chief commercial officer. After she chose Ross over Louis Vuitton and Paris, she swallowed her pride and begged for her old job back. She was especially motivated after the FAA imposed a hefty fine for that ruckus at the airport. Yes, you don’t get a departing plane to open its doors — twice — without some repercussions. At least Rachel escaped a jail sentence, but only because her romantic gesture became the first-ever viral video. It was only natural that the Internet sensation would use her media savvy to rise in the ranks of the esteemed fashion house.
Rachel isn’t the only one in the family working for Ralph Lauren: Her three daughters (look, considering Ross’s strong swimmers, it’s only surprising they didn’t have more kids) are models for the designer’s children’s line. A star was born when baby beauty pageant winner Emma subbed at the last minute during a photo shoot. Now we can also see her sisters, Sandrine and James, in the Polo brand’s catalog — overseen by their uncle Chandler, now an exec in Ralph Lauren’s marketing department.
Ross Geller
Happily married for the fourth time (though it looks like his second go-round with Rachel will stick), Ross is even more famous than his YouTube-celebrity wife. Along with his 19-year-old (!) son Ben — a paleontology student at NYU — he discovered a new dinosaur species. The Gellersaurus has a permanent display at the New York Museum of Prehistoric History. Although they still live in Manhattan, Monica’s older brother and his brood spend nearly every weekend in the suburbs with the Bings.
