14 DAY TRIAL // This week’s shocker comes from OK! Magazine, which is running an interview with Paul LeBlanc, Matt LeBlanc’s estranged father, claiming he knows for a fact that Matt and Jennifer Aniston had an affair back when they were working on “Friends.”
So what?, you might think, co-stars become romantically involved all the time, it’s no biggie. In Jennifer’s case, it would be, because at the time, she was married to Brad Pitt. In other words, she cheated on him first, before he cheated on her with Angelina Jolie on the set of “Mr. and Mrs. Smith.”

Matt and Jennifer would make out in dressing rooms
Paul LeBlanc is spilling the beans on the relationships between the 6 stars of one of the most successful sitcoms of all time, and what he has to say is quite surprising. Granted, you should take his words with a grain of salt because he and his son have not been in touch for years.
Apparently, Matt and Matthew Perry never really liked each other, even though they played best mates on the show. Perry is an A-hole, LeBlanc says, adding that this is exactly how Matt would describe him whenever he spoke of him.
David Schwimmer was too serious to the point where he was annoying, but Lisa Kudrow was the best. Paul LeBlanc doesn’t say a peep about Courteney Cox, but he does have plenty to say about Aniston.
“He even had a relationship with one of the girls… Jen. They would make out in the dressing rooms. He told me about it. It was when she was married to Brad Pitt… Matt goes after dirt bags.”
To Paul LeBlanc’s discredit, he is just as nasty when he talks about his own son, whom he describes as a drunk and fattie who can’t stay sober even if his career depends on it. Apparently, he’s also ruthless and a control freak, and a greedy man who would choose money over family.
Old romance rumors
It’s easy to discard Paul LeBlanc’s claims as those of a bitter man who knows that he can’t get a penny from his son, so he turns to selling him to the tabloids for a quick pay. As sad as it might be, he wouldn’t be the first or the last parent to do this to their own child.
But then, there’s this: if you’re a “Friends” fan from back in the day when it aired on NBC, you probably recall some rumors about a possible romantic relationship between Aniston and LeBlanc.
So either Matt’s father is using those old and untrue rumors to make a quick buck, or he’s speaking the truth and confirming them.
Here’s Matt and Jennifer in that famous kiss scene, when Joey finally got to date Rachel, the woman of his dreams.
