So preoccupied are we with all the couples on Love Island and the fact that Adam Collard once had a three-way snog with Holly and Charlotte off of Geordie Shore, we’d almost forgotten about one of our fave couples of all time.

But creator of Friends David Crane has just brought Ross and Rachel right back to the forefront of our minds by opening up about what he reckons the pair are up to now (y’know, if they existed).

And we can all rejoice! Because they’re still together!

When asked if they are still a couple at a comedy showrunners panel for The Wrap’s Emmy series on Wednesday this week, he said: "Yes. Come on, they worked really hard, 10 years."

He also added that Chandler and Monica are also still together, which truly is a big weight off our tired old minds.
