But as exciting as these rumors might be for “Friends” fans, it seems they are untrue.
Aniston even laughed off the idea in an interview withEntertainment Tonight.
WhenAniston heard the dating rumor, she quipped, “That was bizarre.
I could not believe that, actually.
That’s my brother.
“Aniston usually keeps her relationships private, but she felt the need to squash this gossip.
Schwimmer’s team also denied that they were dating.
How did Schwimmer land in the brother zone?
They even admitted to cuddling between takes.
But why did they never date, and why is Schwimmer now like a “brother” to Aniston?
According to the actors, their crushes never amounted to anything more.
“It was like two ships passing,” Schwimmer said during the reunion.
“One of us was always in a relationship.
And we never crossed that boundary.
We respected that.”
Aniston agreed and added that they put all their feelings for each other into the characters.
Perhaps that’s whyRoss and Rachel were always such an easy couple to root for.
After spending so much time working together, they came to think of each other as family.
But their spark from many years ago lives on through the beloved characters they portrayed.
