No, the cast of Friends never dated each other but were involved at that time or in the past with a few of the guest appearances.

Fans frequently questioned whether any of the show's plotlines had any real implications. Did Jennifer Aniston ever date David Schwimmer, or did things warm up between Courteney Cox and Matthew Perry's on-screen husband and wife? There has been a long-running rumor that things did get hot and heavy after the cameras stopped. However, it appears that the guest cast—or at least three of the main stars of the show—got down to business with each other while the main cast never did.

The six actors allegedly made a pact not to date their co-stars, according to Matthew Perry, who recently made this claim in an interview with Access. He stated, "There was a rule that we had," adding that director Jim Burrows had established the rule. For the six of us, maintaining our friendship and being friends were extremely important.

Courteney Cox, a co-star, had a slightly different take on events and claimed she didn't recall a formal "rule." She remarked, "I think it's a good idea, but I don't remember actually talking about it." Although Cox has in the past attributed her forgetfulness to the fact that she recently rewatched "Friends," she doesn't remember much of the show.

Tate Donovan, Paul Rudd, and Brad Pitt have all dated Jennifer Aniston in the past and have all appeared as guests on the show. Matthew Perry started dating Julia Roberts after her guest appearance while Cox’s then-husband David Arquette, made an appearance on the show. But aside from a few of these relationships, the Friends cast members never interacted.

Who was in a relationship with Aniston, Perry, and Cox during Friends?

Tate Donovon was engaged to Jennifer in 1997, but they called off the engagement for some reasons. And finally, Paul Rudd, who dated Jennifer in 1998 for a brief time. Following that, she met Brad Pitt, married in 2000, and divorced in 2005.

Matthew Perry started a casual relationship with Julia Roberts after her guest appearance on the show as Susie "underpants" in season two, and Courteney Cox’s then-husband David Arquette played Phoebe’s creepy stalker in season three.

What was Jennifer’s dating history with the guest cast?

Aniston also had a brief romance with Paul Rudd, who played Phoebe's boyfriend and future husband Mike on the show. They first met while working on the 1998 film The Object of My Affection, and they briefly dated before Aniston met Brad Pitt, who would later make a guest appearance on the show while they were married.

Aniston's on-screen relationship with Tate Donovan, who portrayed Rachel's love interest Joshua in the fourth season of the show, was even more awkward. Donovan and Aniston dated for two and a half years in real life, got engaged, and split up just before he joined the cast. Donovan stated to The Huffington Post in 2013: "When we split up, the show's producers asked us, "Hey, would you like to do six episodes of the show?" And I thought it might be beneficial to work through this breakup."

Even though Jennifer Aniston has had relationships with famous people like Brad Pitt and Justin Theroux in the past, she is still a megastar known for her good looks and brilliant acting skills; she won numerous accolades, including a Primetime Emmy Award, a Golden Globe Award, and two Screen Actors Guild Awards.

What happened between Courteney Cox and David Arquette?

In simple words, David Arquette and Courteney Cox met on the set of Scream in 1996, got married in 1999, and divorced in 2012. However, the question remains: what happened after a decade and a daughter that the couple decided to split. In fact, they both dealt with a slew of events, such as the actress's seven miscarriages and the launch of a production company. After all of this, they decided to go their separate ways, but why?

The "Friends" actress acknowledged that she and Arquette were very different people while talking about their breakup. "There are a lot of things that David likes to do completely opposite things I do," the actress admitted it. "I don't want to inhibit him in his life. He really is a very gregarious guy; he's very outgoing. I'm much more of an introvert." Arquette claimed to Howard Stern that Cox had grown weary of his antics and no longer wanted to "mother" him.

According to The Things, Arquette struggled after his divorce from Cox and descended into a downward spiral of substance abuse and depression. The actor acknowledged having a breakdown and even entered a rehab facility to receive treatment for his problems.

Arquette met journalist Christina McLarty in 2013 after receiving assistance, and the two clicked. In 2015, they were united in marriage, and since then, they have had two kids. Cox and musician Johnny McDaid have been dating since 2013. The actor claims that he and his ex-wife are getting along well. "We just respect each other," he explained. "No matter what people go through, you still have a child together, when you love someone, you want them to be happy, even if it's not with you."
