Ross and Rachel couple in Friends. David Schwimmer and Jennifer Aniston ‘almost couple’ in real life. The Friends reunion, broadcast in the US by Hbo Max and broadcast in Italy on Sky (Sky Atlantic and Sky Uno) and Now TV, is an opportunity to turn the spotlight on the relationship between two of the stars of the series.

To confirm David Schwimmer’s version was the colleague-partner: “It went like this”.
