Not much is known about Phoebe’s whereabouts after the series concluded. However, it was implied that Phoebe had a child because the “Joey” pilot episode stated that Joey left NYC because all of his friends were getting married and having children.
Phoebe (Lisa Kudrow) was involved in a love triangle with David (Hank Azaria) and Mike (Paul Rudd) near the end of "Friends." In Barbados, just as David was about to pop the question, Mike intervened to win Phoebe back. Mike and Phoebe got engaged, but the wedding preparations went horribly wrong.
After a historically significant blizzard, Phoebe and Mike decided to get married in the snow outside of Central Perk because she couldn't decide what kind of wedding she wanted.
He left New York City because all of his friends were getting married and starting families, according to the "Joey" sequel series. Joey seemed to imply that Phoebe and Mike were expecting a child, given that Ross (David Schwimmer), Rachel (Jennifer Aniston), Monica (Courtney Cox), and Chandler (Matthew Perry) already had children.
After season 10 concluded and everyone seemed to have settled down, Phoebe and Mike contemplated the notion of starting a family of their own, so it would make sense for that to happen. It would also be great to assume that Phoebe's child may share a future with Ross and Rachel's daughter, Emma, as well as Monica and Chandler's twins, Jack and Erica.
What happened to Ursula after Friends?
Even if Phoebe's fate may not have been as clear-cut as some fans would have preferred, it's still something. Compared to Ursula Buffay, her twin sister, it is not as revealing. A more elaborate future was given to the character who initially appeared in “Mad About You” before Kudrow was cast in “Friends.”
Ursula alternated between the two sitcoms, but after “Mad About You” ended in 1999, the series' conclusion abruptly moved forward 22 years. After a successful career in pornography, Ursula was elected governor of New York in the year 2021.
On Mad About You, Ursula first made an appearance as a snarky waitress who worked at Paul and Jamie's preferred New York City eatery, Riff's. Producers made the decision to have Phoebe appear in Friends after Lisa Kudrow was chosen to play the role, who also resides in New York City.
Additionally, Ursula has a reputation for being unpleasant. She is revealed to be incredibly egotistical and callous when it comes to conflict, frequently ignoring the repercussions of her own actions. Being extremely egocentric and self-absorbed, Ursula only has great regard for herself and treats others as inferior to her. This is especially obvious whenever she confronts Phoebe, her sister.
What is Phoebe’s tragic background?
Phoebe Abbott and Frank Buffay, who were in a polyamorous relationship with Lily Buffay, were the parents of Phoebe and her twin sister, Ursula. Lily and Frank adopted the twins and reared them because Phoebe Abbott wasn't ready to be a mother.
However, years later, Frank abandoned them and got married to someone else. From that family, Frank had a son, Frank Jr. Later on, Frank abandoned them too.
At the age of 14, Phoebe and Ursula were left alone after Lily remarried. Her second husband, however, ended up in jail, and Lily later committed suicide. Phoebe ended up living on the streets as a result of this tragic incident and the fact that her stepfather was in prison, while Ursula entered foster care.
Phoebe experienced a lot when she was living on the streets; she never went to high school or college, but she met with a small group of individuals to learn French and became proficient in it. At some point, she even picked up a little bit of Italian. When all else failed, Phoebe turned to mugging—she even targeted a young Ross. One of her craziest tales is about how she got hepatitis after having "a pimp spit in her mouth" and eventually spent time in jail.
Phoebe's backstory is undoubtedly the most tragic and complicated of the Friends main characters, but she proved to everyone that despite all the hardships she endured, she was able to overcome them and eventually achieve what she had always wanted: a loving family with her husband Mike Hannigan (Paul Rudd) and all of her friends.
How many times did Phoebe get married?
The episode "The One With Phoebe's Husband" from season 2 marked Phoebe's introduction to Duncan Sullivan (Steve Zahn), her first husband. Phoebe married Duncan, a Canadian ice dancer who was rumored to be gay, to facilitate his immigration to the United States.
In that episode, it was also made clear that he wasn't gay and that he had fallen in love with a woman, leading to their divorce. Mike is mistakenly thought to be Phoebe's second spouse, despite there having been a previous union.
When Rachel and Ross decide to get an annulment after getting married in Las Vegas after getting way too intoxicated, Phoebe claims that it isn't a true marriage since "if you get married in Vegas, you're only married in Vegas." Phoebe is shocked to find out that it's not true via Monica, which indicates that Phoebe got married in Vegas at some point.
It was never brought up again, and the man's identity is unknown, but it appears that there were no legal issues at all because she was able to wed Mike.
