You know when people tell you not to date your co-worker? Yeah, neither has Jennifer Aniston! Our beloved Friends character Rachel Green and Jennifer have a lot in common than you would have thought.

The Rumor Has It star has dated more than one co-star from Friends. Jen has had quite a dating history, same as her fictional character Rachel. The two even romanced the same people on and off-screen.

Here's a list of who Jen romanced on and off-screen;

)1)     Tate Donovan

Yep! The hot and rich Joshua Burgin aka Tate Donovan is one of the people Jen dated in real life as well. The two were in a serious relationship for three years before he was cast to play Josh.

In fact, he landed the role only because of his relationship with Jen. But by the time the shooting began, the two had broken up which led to awkward moments on the set. 

For Donovan, it was pretty hard to work with his ex. In an interview with Huffpost, he said, "It was a rough experience. We were broken up, and the producers were like, 'Hey would you want to do six episodes on the show'. And I was like, 'Well, maybe it would be good to, you know, work through the breakup.'"

"For which Jen said, 'What an idiot.' It was bad."

2)    Paul Rudd

That's right! Jen dated Ant-Man. In 1998, the two were filming The Object of My Affection and the two started dating but that didn't last long. Flash forward to four years into the future, Paul was cast as Phoebe's love interest in Friends. Though this time it wasn't as awkward or the two to work because they remained good friends after their breakup.

In 2012, the two were cast as a couple in Wanderlust for which the producers asked if they would feel awkward to kiss on-screen to which Jen replied, "Nah. I've kissed him for years."

3)      Brad Pitt

This is an obvious one. The broody and sexy Brad had a guest appearance in Friends in which he played the character of Will Colbert. Unfortunately, Will hated Rachel and also co-founded the 'I hate Rachel' club with Ross. Unlike Brad who married Jen.

4)      Matthew Perry
