Fine as 'Friends,' Unlucky in Love

Oct. 13, 2010— -- They had no problem making "Friends," but when it comes to lovers, it seems that finding a happy ending worthy of Ross and Rachel isn't so easy.

Courteney Cox is the latest "Friends" alum to stumble out of a serious relationship. On Monday, Cox and her husband, actor David Arquette, announced they were separating after 11 years of marriage.

Jennifer Aniston became the patron saint of scorned first wives when Brad Pitt left her for Angelina Jolie. Matt LeBlanc's marriage imploded much like his "Friends" spinoff, "Joey." Matthew Perry gave up drugs only to find that he couldn't get a woman.

True, not all of them are alone (see: Lisa Kudrow, David Schwimmer), but there enough now-single "Friends" stars to start a support group at Central Perk. Below, check out how the stars of NBC's iconic sitcom have fared in the relationship department:
