Matt leblanc is gay
Matt LeBlanc's 'beautiful' daughter Marina — inside his very personal family life as a dad and stepdad at 57
57 years on, Matt LeBlanc remains a Hollywood hunk thanks to his decade spent playing lovable womanizer Joey on Friends. However, when it comes to his off-screen experience, the actor has maintained a more private presence.
Compared to the rest of his co-stars, Matt is one of the more hushed when it comes to his personal life, and unlike Joey Tribbiani's storied romantic past, the actor has been more steady when it comes to his romances.
Away from the cameras, Matt is also a doting dad of one, and a former stepdad-of-two, and in honor of his big evening, here's a see at his family life, from his relationships to fatherhood…
A smooth Hollywood man
Outside of his prolonged term relationships, Matt's first most notable romance came way back in the '90s, just as Friends began picking up steam after its 1994 debut.
It was reported at the time that the actor was dating none other than Kate Hudson, who was only 17 at the time while he was 28. However, it was never confirmed whether that was actually true.

His former chauffer, Damian Plumleigh, claims in a tabloid story he

saying: "I'm not bisexual. I'm not gay. I've never had sex with men...

his ultimate guilty pleasure."

The two were introduced by Lou Diamond Phillips' then-wife, Kelly, and after just one year of dating, LeBlanc and McKnight were engaged (per Famous People).
The couple wed in Hawaii in 2003 and welcomed their daughter Marina the monitoring year. LeBlanc and McKnight faced every parent's worst nightmare when Marina was diagnosed with a rare brain disorder called "cortical dysplasia" at eight months. Luckily, with treatment, she made a full recovery. However, the couple's marriage was already on the rocks, reportedly due to LeBlanc's womanizing ways. In fact, he abruptly moved out of the family home. "It was very sudden," Phillips told People at the time. "She was absolutely blindsided by what transpired."
