Yes, Lisa Kudrow was indeed expecting her son Julian, and the show's writers took advantage of the situation to give Phoebe a role as a surrogate for her half-brother.
Undeniably, Lisa Kudrow is a brilliant actor, and fans have been asking for years now, was Lisa really pregnant in season four? That is when she gave birth to triplets as a surrogate for his half brother, Frank Jr., who got married to Alice. Due to Alice’s age, she was not able to conceive, and as Frank approached Phoebe with the suggestion, she concurred.
Lisa Kudrow was actually pregnant with her son, Julian Murray Stern, back in 1998. She married a French advertising executive named Michael Stern in 1995. The cast, according to Lisa in an interview with "People" magazine, were very supportive of her pregnancy. Even her infant participated in the pre-taping huddles.
She said: "When I was pregnant, they would say, 'Have a great show, love you, love you, love you, little Julian!" "So sweet, they included my little fetus in the huddle." Julian, who is now 24 years old, is done with his college degree.
Who is Frank Buffay Jr.?
Frank Buffay Jr. is the half-brother of Phoebe and Ursula Buffay, and he was portrayed by Giovanni Ribisi in the sitcom. When Phoebe was looking for her father, Frank Buffay Sr., who abandoned her and her twin sister when they were young and later abandoned the family of Frank Jr., she came across Frank.
In addition to having a punctured lung, melting things, being arrested for stealing bird eggs, and formerly owning a dog named "Tumor," he incorrectly assumed that his sister Phoebe was a prostitute because he thought "massage parlor" was a euphemism for "brothel."
In the third season, Frank begins dating Alice, his home economics instructor (Debra Jo Rupp). If it weren't for the fact that they have a 26-year age difference (she is 44, Frank Jr. is 18), and he frequently calls her Mrs. Knight instead of her first name, the relationship would have been perfectly normal.
The two are undeniably attracted to one another despite their age differences and eventually get married; however, because Alice was having trouble getting pregnant, Frank asks Phoebe to act as a surrogate.
Frank Jr. and Phoebe met before their official meeting at Frank Sr.'s home?
The song "Smelly Cat" debuts in the episode, and Phoebe is replaced as Central Perk's musical entertainment. She opens her guitar case wide for tips as she walks outside to sing on the sidewalk. And because this is New York City, someone also unintentionally drops a condom in the case before returning to get it.
And who is the young man? none other than Giovanni Ribisi, who achieved fame for his role as Frank Jr., Phoebe's long-lost brother. Later that season, in the episode "The One With the Bullies," he made his debut with the credit "Frank Jr." And since Phoebe carried Frank Jr.'s triplets, we know that their relationship grew closer as the show progressed.
Is that condom a portent of what's to come when Frank eventually needs his sister's uterus? These are merely conjectures and fan theories without any support or legitimacy from an official statement on any official platform. Despite the fact that the condom was thrown and that it was Frank Jr., whether it was a plothole or an easter egg remains debatable.
Who is Lisa Kudrow’s husband?
Michael Stern, according to The New York Times, was born and raised in France. He relocated here in order to pursue a career in advertising, and he has had success there. Despite being married to Kudrow, Stern has maintained complete privacy in his life, so little is known about his professional background.
"I was living with [a] French girl, and he had just moved here, and they were dating when we first met. But I'm freakishly polite, so I saw him and went, 'Well, he's the perfect man and it's all ruined because now they're together and I can't (make a play for him)," said Kudrow, as reported by The Daily Mail. "I thought that it's not nice to flirt. But the moment I saw him, I thought to myself, "Well, that's it; there he is." She remembered. The relationship between Stern and Kudrow's roommate eventually came to an end, and the actress and the advertising executive later reconnected. In 1995, the couple exchanged vows.
While Kudrow was still filming Friends, Stern and Kudrow learned they were having a child. Friends' fourth season, 1998, made a reference to the actress's pregnancy by having Phoebe serve as a surrogate for her brother Frank and his wife.
