Friends might have followed the lives of six young New Yorkers, navigating the single life, but in the real world, the cast of the hit show was moving on and creating families of their own.

In fact, Lisa Kudrow was famously pregnant in season 4 of the show, and later, Courteney Cox got pregnant with her daughter right as the show was ending in season 10. Other cast members also ushered in their bundles of joy after the show ended in 2004.

From Courteney Cox's daughter Coco Arquette to Paul Rudd's children, Jack and Darby, see the kids of the cast of Friends below.

LeBlanc, who played Joey Tribbiani, shares 20-year-old daughter, Marina Pearl, with ex-wife, Melissa McKnight. He said in a 2016 interview that he is also involved in the lives of McKnight's two children, Tyler, 32, and Jacquelyn, 28.

Although LeBlanc keeps his daughter mostly out of the limelight, in 2016, he told PEOPLE that then 12-year-old Marina's biggest interests were "Horses and Rihanna." He added, "So that's what I'm into."

"[Tyler is] a sound engineer," LeBlanc also told PEOPLE in 2016. "He works in a recording studio. And my daughter [Jacquelyn] graduates from FIT [on Thursday] ... She's in the design program. She's a really hard worker, and I'm proud of her. She's doing fantastic."

Kudrow's son Julian was technically also her costar — her pregnancy was written into character Phoebe Buffay's storyline on season 4 of the show!

"The six of us would do a huddle backstage and just say, 'All right, have a good show, love you love you love you love you,' " she recalled to PEOPLE in 2018.

"And when I was pregnant, then they would say, 'Have a great show, love you love you — love you, little Julian!' " the actress previously raved. "Cause we knew it was a boy and that was his name. So sweet, they included my little fetus in the huddle."

Kudrow told Conan O'Brien in May 2021 that her 24-year-old son supported her at the taping of Friends: The Reunion.

"He was able to come to the reunion … and afterward, he came up to me and he said, 'Can I say that I'm really proud of you?' " she shared.

"That was one of the very emotional things that happened to me," Kudrow added.

In 2011, Schwimmer (who played Ross Geller) and his then-wife Zoë Buckman welcomed their daughter Cleo into the world.

The Friends alumnus doesn't often make comments about his daughter, but in January 2018, he spoke with the Today show about how he discussed bodily autonomy with Cleo, who was 6½ at the time.

"With my daughter, it's more about just knowing it's your body and your space. It's more about personal space and building confidence in her to speak out and speak up if anything she encounters makes her feel uncomfortable, period," said Schwimmer. "Her body, her hair, it's hers. She owns it. It's giving her the courage and confidence to speak up and speak out."

Paul Rudd walked into the famed series right as it was wrapping up and played Phoebe's boyfriend-turned-husband, Mike Hannigan.

And while Rudd's star has exponentially risen since, the actor has managed to keep much of his private life under the radar, including his two kids. Rudd and his wife Julie Yaeger welcomed son Jack Sullivan in 2006 and followed with daughter Darby in 2010.

Above, Paul, a dedicated Kansas City Chiefs fan, is pictured at Super Bowl LVIII with his son.
