Early Life
He was born to Jack and Judy Geller and raised by them on Long Island, New York. He is Monica's older brother. When Ross was younger, he dressed up as a woman (with his mother's clothes) and sang, "I am Bea / I drink tea / Won't you dance around with me?". When growing up, he attended the same high school as Rachel (as did Monica) where he eventually developed a crush on her and kept it to himself, though Rachel later admitted she knew about his crush, but didn't return those feelings. He bef...

His plans are ruined when Rachel meets Paolo during a blackout, who is an Italian man living in the same building as her and Monica. They start dating which causes Ross to become jealous and take a deep dislike to Paolo. The exception is when he overdoses on medicine during his Nana's funeral and says to Rache...
Ross is happy with Julie and he manages to temporarily forget about his feelings for Rachel. Rachel goes on a date with a man called Michael but ends up leaving a drunken message on Ross' answering machine. Ross learns that Rachel has fallen for him too. Ross confronts her in Central Perk and storms out, only to return a few moments later to share a passionate kiss with Rachel.

Chandler Bing Ross and Chandler go quite a way back, being roommates in college. They are best friends, not to mention brothers-in-law.

Monica is Ross' younger sister who has become close to her brother during the past decade. She has also become his best friend and consoles him every time his marriage or relationship fails. Monica and Ross are extremely competitive, as demonstrated in "The One With The Football" where it is revealed that every Thanksgiving during their childhood they had taken part in a football match called the Geller Cup. This family tradition ended in its sixth year after Monica broke Ross' nose. In their...
Parents
Ross is the older brother of Monica, and he is the favored child of their parents. He was described as a "medical marvel" when he was born because his mother was originally believed to be barren (there may have been some discrepancies when the writers came up with the story, as in another episode Jack Geller mentioned that they got married after Judy got pregnant because apparently, the dog thought her diaphragm was a chew toy). Ross, Monica, and Jack are all Jewish, as professed in the episo...
Children
Ross has two children, Ben and Emma. Ben is his son with his ex-wife Carol while Emma is his daughter with Rachel. Ross is shown to be an extremely caring and committed father, doing as much as he can to make sure the children are looked after correctly. He gets angry at Chandler and Joey for leaving Ben on a bus in Season 2, but his playful side also came out when he tricked Monica into thinking she had damaged Ben's brain by accidentally banging his head on a wooden pylon during a game and...
Ross divorces his first wife of three years, Carol, when she reveals that she is lesbian and began having an affair with a woman called Susan, who she met at the gym. After the initial post-relationship complications had been overcome, however, they have been generally able to get along and share custody of their son, Ben. Ross even achieves mutual respect with Susan after Phoebe makes them realize that they would all be parents to Carol and Ross' son. Ross later helps Carol and Susan reconci...
Ross' relationship with Rachel is the most well-known and probably the most complex relationship of the series. Rachel and Ross have had an on and off relationship during the first decade. At first, Ross gained a crush on her in 9th grade and has developed since. They dated for a year only to break up on their first anniversary, leaving them both devastated and heartbroken, which causes the two to not be able to stand each other for a while, but they eventually become friends again. In Las Ve...
Ross' second marriage, to a woman from England, appears more hopeful than his first, even though he and Emily do have a whirlwind romance. The wedding takes place in London, in a half-demolished building, where Emily's parents were married. Joey and Chandler are both the best man, and Monica is a bridesmaid (Phoebe cannot attend as she is too far into pregnancy, and Rachel only comes at the last minute). While reciting his vows, Ross accidentally says Rachel's name instead of Emily's. While E...
At college, Ross trained for a career in paleontology (on a dare), completing his Ph.D. He later became employed at the New York Museum of Prehistoric History. At one time, Ross claims to have, "given up a career in basketball," to become a paleontologist. He also claims that he would have been good at advertising and that he invented the phrase "G...
Although Ross' age is treated inconsistently by the show's writers, the best evidence is that he was born on October 18, 1967. Month and Day Two episodes state Ross' birthday on October 18. In "The One Where Emma Cries", Ross names that date as his birthday, as well as in, "The One With Five Steaks and an Eggplant", where he is taken to a Hootie & ...
