Did Ross and Rachel get together in real life? David Schwimmer has denied rumors of a relationship with Jennifer Aniston.
It would have been too good to be true. When the rumor mill suddenly boiled that David Schwimmer (54) and Jennifer Aniston (52) had become closer, “Friends” fans reflexively fell into dreaming. Have Ross and Rachel finally come together in reality? A unfortunately quite unromantic, but unequivocal denial by Schwimmer has put a stop to the enthusiasm again. A spokesman for the star have therefore declared the British “The Sun”that there was “no truth whatsoever” behind the rumor.
At the end of May this year, Schwimmer surprised at the big “Friends” reunion with the admission that he fell in love with his co-star while filming the cult sitcom. A feeling that, according to Aniston, was even mutual. But one of the two was always in a relationship when the other was single – and so nothing came of the potential dream couple.
This is how the rumors came about
A few days ago the supposed top news: The gossip page “Closer” claims to have found out from an alleged insider that the long friendship has now turned into love. The two of them started texting each other immediately after the special. After all, Schwimmer is said to have even flown from New York City to Los Angeles to visit Aniston – including a home-cooked dinner and a romantic stroll. Now, however, it seems to be clear: When it comes to the subject of “Ross and Rachel”, the anonymous source evidently even ran a bit of the imagination.
