As US Weekly report, the 47 year old LeBlanc's rep confirmed his split with the 39 year old Anders, who he had been dating for eight year after the pair starred on the short lived Friends spinoff, Joey. LeBlanc has been starring in Episodes, which is based in London, since 2011. The couple were last seen together on the red carpet at the 2014 Emmys.
As MStars News reported back in November, LeBlanc was alleged to have gotten pretty touchy-feely with a number of service girls while attending a Halloween party in Austin, Texas. ""[He] ended up calling two of them over and proceeded to kiss one, the other - and then made the two girls kiss each other," In Touch reported at the time. The allegations were refuted by LeBlanc's rep.
As for that rumored Friends reunion in 2015, don't hold your breath. The six stars — LeBlanc, Courtney Cox, Jennifer Aniston, Lisa Kudrow, David Schwimmer and Matthew Perry — recently caught up... via email, explains OK Magazine.
LeBlanc revealed on Kimmel that he spent New Year's Eve "asleep by 10.30" and that his mother bought him "an electric fly-swatter" for Christmas. He also talked about how he would sneakily unwrap and assemble his christmas presents before his parents awoke, then "take it back apart" and rewrap it, then "act real surprised" when opening his presents.
He also explained how he didn't believe he would go into acting, as the rest of his family all had jobs that entailed with "some sort of tool in their hand," and he thought he "was going to be a carpenter."
In fact, for his senior year project at the vocational high school he went to, LeBlanc "made a complete kitchen and installed it in a house." Nice one, Tribbiani.
