Ross's Apartment: One Or Two Bedrooms?

Ross Geller's apartment from the popular TV show Friends has been a topic of discussion for fans. Initially, Ross lived with Carol in a one-bedroom apartment. However, after their divorce, he moved into a new apartment, which has sparked debates among fans about whether it had one or two bedrooms. This apartment was previously occupied by the Ugly Naked Guy and was located across the street from Monica's apartment. While some fans argue that there were two bedrooms, as Rachel mentions having her own room, others suggest that the apartment may have had only one bedroom, with an additional room created for the plot.

Ross lived with Carol in a one-bedroom apartment before she left him

In the popular TV sitcom Friends, Ross Geller lived with his first wife, Carol Willick, in a one-bedroom apartment. Carol left Ross when she realised she was a lesbian and fell in love with Susan Bunch. This revelation caused Ross significant mental trauma and paranoia.

Ross and Carol's relationship is introduced in the second episode of Friends, titled "The One with the Sonogram at the End". Carol is pregnant with Ross' child, and the episode reveals that she is carrying his son, Ben. However, Carol has already left Ross and moved in with Susan. Ross is traumatised by the news, but he eventually comes around and decides he wants to be involved in his child's life.

Carol and Ross maintain a strong friendship and continue to co-parent their son. Carol goes on to marry Susan, and Ross walks her down the aisle. Despite their amicable relationship, some jokes and scenes involving Carol and Susan are considered problematic and homophobic in retrospect.

After Carol leaves him, Ross moves into a new apartment, where he lives for the next four seasons of the show. This apartment has two bedrooms, as confirmed by Rachel, who briefly lives there on two separate occasions.

He then married Emily and moved into her cousin's apartment

In the American television sitcom Friends, Ross Geller lived in a one-bedroom apartment with Carol before she left him. In Season 5, after marrying Emily, Ross moved into a new apartment that he was renting from his wife's cousin. This is because Emily wanted to get rid of anything in Ross's life that was linked to Rachel.

The apartment is never seen on screen, and after Ross and Emily's divorce, he is forced to leave as he had no lease. The cousin only allowed Ross to live there due to their familial relationship, and this ends after the divorce. Ross then briefly stays with Chandler and Joey until he finds his next apartment, which was previously occupied by Ugly Naked Guy.

Ross and Emily's marriage lasted about two to three months. Their wedding took place in London, where Emily is from, and their relationship began when Rachel asked Ross to take Emily to the opera. Ross and Emily's wedding vows are ruined when Ross accidentally says "I, Ross, take thee, Rachel" instead of his bride's name. Despite this, the wedding goes ahead, but Emily is humiliated and goes into hiding. She agrees to move to New York with Ross, but only if he never sees Rachel again.

Ross agrees to this condition, as well as to getting rid of all furniture that Rachel has touched. However, he soon becomes unhappy with the changes he has to make, and the group helps him realise that he cannot meet all of Emily's demands. He tells her that their marriage cannot work if she cannot trust him, and she admits that she cannot. Their marriage ends, and Ross eventually moves out of the apartment he shared with Emily's cousin.

Ross and Emily divorced, and he was forced to leave the apartment

In the popular TV sitcom "Friends", Ross and Emily's divorce led to significant changes for Ross, including him having to leave his apartment. Ross and Emily's relationship began when he started dating Emily, Rachel's boss' niece. Their relationship was complicated by the distance, as Emily lived in London. Despite this, their connection grew stronger, and Ross spontaneously proposed to her. However, their wedding did not go as planned, as Ross accidentally said Rachel's name instead of Emily's during his vows. Although she forgave him, she left him again after seeing him with Rachel at the airport, where they were planning to go on their honeymoon trip.

Emily gave Ross an ultimatum, stating that she would only take him back if he stopped being friends with Rachel. Ross was unable to do so, and as a result, they got divorced. This divorce forced Ross to leave his apartment, as Emily did not want to live in a place where Rachel had lived and touched things. In Season Five, after marrying Emily, Ross moved into a new apartment that he rented from Emily's cousin. This apartment became his third and final residence shown in the series.

Ross's third apartment was a two-bedroom space located across the street from Monica's apartment. It was previously occupied by the Ugly Naked Guy for the first four seasons and the first half of the fifth season. Ross obtained the apartment by stripping down to bond with the Ugly Naked Guy. Despite some initial challenges, such as spotting Monica and Chandler together and making enemies with his neighbours, Ross lived in this apartment for the rest of the series.

Rachel briefly moved in with Ross during season six, and again from "The One With The Secret Closet" (S8E14) to "The One Where Monica Sings" (S9E13). She moved back in with him for a few days before their final onscreen kiss and the final scene in Monica's apartment. This suggests that they may have moved into a bigger space or a house after becoming a proper family with their daughter Emma.

Ross briefly lived with Chandler and Joey

In the seventh episode of the fifth season of Friends, titled "The One Where Ross Moves In", Ross briefly moves in with Chandler and Joey. This happens after Emily's cousin kicks him out, leaving him with nowhere to live. However, his new roommates find him irritating, as he insists on using an air purifier, wants them to keep the noise down, and changes the answering machine message. They take him to look at a small studio, but end up feeling guilty and let him stay at their apartment.

There is some debate among fans about where Ross slept while living with Chandler and Joey. Some believe he slept in a third bedroom, while others think he slept in the living area, possibly on the couch or a pull-out bed.

Ross moves out of Chandler and Joey's apartment in the fourteenth episode of the fifth season, "The One Where Everybody Finds Out", when he moves into Ugly Naked Guy's apartment across the street from Monica's.

He then moved into Ugly Naked Guy's two-bedroom apartment

In the popular TV sitcom "Friends", Ross Geller lived in a few different apartments over the course of the show. Initially, he lived with Carol in a one-bedroom apartment. After his divorce from Carol, he married Emily and moved into a new apartment that was rented from his new wife's cousin. However, when he and Emily divorced, the cousin kicked him out. Ross briefly moved in with Chandler and Joey before landing Ugly Naked Guy's former two-bedroom apartment.

Ugly Naked Guy's apartment was located at 19 Grove Street, directly across the street from Monica's apartment at 90 Bedford Street. The building is a six-story tenement that was built in 1891. Ross moved into this apartment during the fifth season of the show, specifically in episode 14 ("The One Where Everybody Finds Out"). He lived there for the remainder of the series.

The apartment had two bedrooms, as confirmed by Rachel, who lived there with Ross at different points in the show. One of the bedrooms was likely Ross's, with the other belonging to Rachel. The layout of the apartment included a living room, a small hallway leading to the kitchen on the right side, and the bedrooms and bathroom at the back.

The apartment was frequently shown in the series and was known for its red walls and Ross's dragonfly artwork. It was also where Ross kept his geeky possessions, such as his bookcase filled with literature on palaeontology, terracotta figurines, and dinosaur stuff. The apartment was also briefly home to Rachel and Ross's daughter, Emma, during Rachel's pregnancy.
