How many times does Ross Geller get married in Friends?

The story behind the answer

Ross Geller gets married three times in Friends.

His first marriage is to Carol Willick, the mother of his son Ben. Carol later comes out as gay, and the marriage ends before the main events of the series. Ross then marries Emily Waltham in London, but the relationship collapses after he says Rachel’s name during the ceremony.

Ross’s third marriage is to Rachel Green. They marry while intoxicated in Las Vegas, initially treating the event as a mistake. Their divorce becomes a major source of comedy because Ross is reluctant to admit that the marriage has ended.

The marriages are often confused with Ross’s other romantic relationships, including his long-running relationship with Rachel and his partnership with Carol after their divorce. The three marriages are distinct story events and occur at different points in the series.
