Their characters had a brief fling on screen, but in real life, Jennifer Aniston denies that there was anything other than friendship between her and Matt LeBlanc. 

Last week, Star magazine reported that LeBlanc's father, Paul, alleged that his son had a relationship with Aniston while they starred on "Friends." The 73-year old went on to say that the romance happened while she was still married to her former husband Brad Pitt. 

"He even had a relationship with one of the girls … Jen," Paul reportedly said. "They would make out in the dressing rooms. He even told me about it — it was when she was married to Brad Pitt." 

A rep for Aniston denied the story, and in a statement, said, "I have commented in the National Enquirer and others. It's 100 percent false ... Jennifer has never had a romantic or sexual relationship with Matt LeBlanc."

It was reported that Paul, who is estranged from his son, did not confirm at what point the "Friends" stars were supposed to have gotten together in real life. 

LeBlanc's and Aniston's characters, Rachel and Joey, started a romance toward the end of season 9 and the beginning of season 10. Rachel started to develop feelings for Joey, and after he realized that his girlfriend Charlie was better suited for Ross (David Schwimmer), he decided to pursue a relationship with Rachel. A few episodes into season 10, Rachel and Joey decided to stay friends, and at the end of the series, she ended up with the man she loves — Ross. 

Aniston was married to Pitt from 2000 to 2005, and she is currently engaged to Justin Theroux. Meanwhile, LeBlanc was married to Melissa McKnight in 2003, but the two split up in 2006.
