Yesterday we shared with you what Ross' son Ben looks like now.
But there’s a pretty bizarre theory about Ross' relationship with his son going around.
Many fans are asking why Ben was no longer mentioned in the script. It seems when Rachel gave birth to Emma, Ben vanished from Ross’s life.
Some nerdy viewers even noticed that Ben’s name was only mentioned six times in a whopping 54 episodes of the show.
So Reddit user smokingcage came up with an explanation as to why Ben isn’t in the final two series of the popular US sitcom.
The conspiracy theorist believes that Ross lost custody of Ben when series eight ended, following his stupid decisions.
His irresponsible behaviour included attempting to scare his female friends with a self-defence instructor… and even trying to smooch his own cousin.
The Reddit post reads: “Did Ross’s insanity hit a breaking point with his ex-wife?
“Could she no longer handle his nice guy syndrome and homophobic snickering? Did she decide to take full custody of her son?
“Did Ross even fight her for Ben, or just let him go, shifting his focus to the new baby he had with the woman of his obsession? He couldn’t even handle his daughter having a male caregiver.”
