Ross has two children. The elder, Ben, is Ross and Carol's son. He was conceived before their divorce. Born in "The One with the Birth", Ben lives with Carol and her partner Susan. He was named after the name on a janitor's uniform worn by Phoebe as she attempts to escape from the janitor's closet that she, Susan, and Ross are trapped in while Carol was in labor. At first, Ben is a shy boy. However, an afternoon spent with Rachel transforms him into a mischievous prankster.

Ross is perhaps most famous for his turbulent relationship with Rachel Green. Ross had harbored a crush for Rachel since their high school days, when Rachel was Monica's best friend. When Rachel moved to the city, Ross' affection returned. However, Chandler convinced Ross to stop pursuing her and ended up dating Julie, drawing jealousy from Rachel, who had recently learned of Ross' crush and hoped to start a relationship with him. The two finally got together in "The One with the Prom Video". The relationship ended with Ross' jealousy over Rachel's co-worker Mark. Believing them to be "on a break", he slept with Chloe (Angela Featherstone), the "cute girl from the copy place with a belly-button ring". When Rachel found out, she broke up with Ross in a famous scene in Monica's apartment, which involved Ross and Rachel arguing in Monica's living room while the other four Friends were trapped in Monica's bedroom, afraid of interrupting the argument.
