Moreover, Rachel Green star herself backed the idea the pair would still be together in an interview with NBC News earlier this year.
Jennifer Aniston started: “Yes. Absolutely.
“Emma’s grown up, she’s in college? High school? Let’s say junior high.”

Speaking on a panel at the Tribeca TV Festival, Kauffman revealed she wasn’t a fan of the stalker storyline in the season three episode titled The One with the Jam.
Fans of the series will remember Phoebe Buffay (played by Lisa Kudrow) falling for a man named Malcom (David Arquette) who had been stalking her twin Ursula.
Speaking at the event, the showrunner simply revealed “we did a lot of rewriting on that to make it work”.
This isn’t the only episode that had showrunners scratching their heads as she also has regrets about The One With the Chicken Pox.
The episode sees Phoebe get chicken pox just as her later love interest Ryan (Charlie Sheen) arrived back from the navy.
Meanwhile, co-creator David Crane revealed that despite forgetting a lot of the specific storylines, he does occasionally question his judgment when rewatching old videos.
He admitted to wondering “Wow, really? We went with that?” when stumbling across particular episodes.
