### Where Does Joey End Up at the End of Friends?

When the curtains (or in this case, the doors) finally close on the gang from Central Perk in the iconic series “Friends”, we find that everyone is settled into their happy endings. Ross and Rachel are back together, Chandler and Monica are finally married, and Phoebe is at the altar with Mike. However, there is a wildcard in the bunch: Joey Tribbiani, played by Matt LeBlanc.

#### Joey – The Bachelor

Joey Tribbiani, often portrayed as the show’s eternal ladies’ man with a heart of gold, never married or got into a long-term relationship by the time the original series wrapped up. However, it was clear that Joey found his happiness in his close-knit group of friends and with his freelance acting career on the upswing. While Joey dated a lot during the run of the series, some particularly memorable girlfriends included Carol (Jennifer Aniston’s character, before she became Rachel), Estelle, and more notably Rachel.

The love story between Joey and Rachel is a well-known subplot, but they ultimately concluded that they were better suited as best friends.

#### The Future of Joey

After the original “Friends” series, the characters’ lives continue in the bonus content of the 200th episode and in some of the scripts not filmed in the final two seasons. In these extras, we find out that Joey eventually moves out to Los Angeles to pursue his acting career further. It is there that he finds a committed relationship with Alex, a neighbor, who seems to be the first person to sustain a significant place in his life for a considerable period. It’s worth noting though that for the actual series finale, Joey is still single.

#### The Joey Spin-Off

For the dedicated “Friends” fanatics, it might be of interest to know that “Joey”, a spin-off of “Friends” featuring Matt LeBlanc’s return to his iconic role, took off right after the main series concluded. This show has Joey living and working in LA, single still, yet with the happy news that he’s dating Alex and is decidedly in a committed relationship after the run of “Friends”.

While the spin-off wasn’t as popular as the original series, it did shed more light on Joey’s life beyond Central Perk and the streets of New York City. Ultimately, it’s clear that after “Friends”, Joey’s story took him far away from the apartment on the corner with Monica and Chandler, leaving his single status confined to the end of the series.

### Conclusion

Friends fans may have always wondered what happened to each of these unforgettable characters, and Joey’s is an especially intriguing tale. While a part of the audience may still long for the classic Friends gang’s presence on screen, others are happy with the “Friends” finale’s ambiguity and the way it left Joey as the single knight of the story, proving that not every love story ends with a wedding. His journey to Los Angeles and the development of a committed relationship with Alex in the spin-off provided fans with a satisfyingly hopeful close to the story of Friends’ own ladies’ man.

Remember, it took a lot more than a spin-off to answer the question: “Who does Joey end up with in Friends?” but for Joey, it seems that he ends up with his most faithful companion and the one thing that stayed consistent for him: Alex. And in the end, his friends back in New York City were always just a phone call away.
