Matt was last spotted out in August at Shakira‘s Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour stop at Los Angeles’ SoFi Stadium, where he posed for a snap with the singer while in attendance.
He previously opened up about his relationship with his daughter in 2014, telling PEOPLE that being a father taught him a lot about patience. “It’s really fun making [Marina] breakfast, taking her to and from school and helping her with her homework,” he said at the time of their relationship. “And we spend time together and take trips.”
Matt reflected on the day his daughter was born while speaking with The Daily Mirror in 2016. “The second I laid eyes on her, I was in love, and I had never felt that way before,” he said. “I couldn’t believe it. I knew from that moment there was nothing that would ever stop me from loving her — even if she crashed my Ferrari.”
LeBlanc last posted on Instagram in November 2023, following the death of Friends costar Matthew Perry. Before that, he posted on the platform one other time in 2023 and twice in 2022. His last major TV role was in CBS’ Man with a Planwhich ran for four seasons from 2016 to 2020.

While LeBlanc has largely stayed out of the spotlight in recent years, he has also kept up with his TV family. David Schwimmerwho starred alongside him on 10 seasons of Friends from 1994 to 2004, revealed in an interview with Good Morning America in January that funny exchanges keep him and LeBlanc “pretty close.”
“LeBlanc and I are pretty close, even though I live in New York and he’s in L.A.,” 58-year-old Schwimmer said.
“What’s fun is we’ve got the kind of friendship where we may not talk for months, but out of nowhere, he’ll send me a message with a clip from the show — which, it’s always funny to relive something we shot, what, 25 years ago or more?” he continued.
“So he sent me something a couple of days ago that totally surprised me,” Schwimmer added of LeBlanc. “I genuinely forgot what we’ve shot, but it’s a moment where he just rips my shirt off.”
