One of those characters just happened to be Ross' son Ben (viaScreen Rant).

During Season 1, Ross was thrilled to learn that he was going to be a dad.

However, the situation wasn’t exactly ideal.

Ross' ex-wife Carol revealed that she was pregnant just as the couple was going through a divorce.

Once Ben was finally born, Ross was a doting dad.

Although Ross would often speak about Ben, he wasn’t featured on the series much.

Ben was last seen in Season 8.

So what really happened to Ben?

“He moved to England.

Hecht added, “We put him in a boarding school just to get him out of dodge.

We put him in a British boarding school.

We eventually come [to the UK], adopt children and home school them in London.”
