Matt LeBlanc is having a father-daughter day.
The Friends alum, 58, stepped out in Camarillo, Calif., with her 21-year-old daughter Marina Pearl LeBlanc on Thursday, Oct. 16. Matt’s rare public outings with his daughter included stopping by a gathering, where the two walked side by side while Matt held the door for her.
The sitcom alum, who hasn’t posted on Instagram since 2023, was seen wearing a camouflage hat, red long-sleeved Ducati shirt and light blue jeans. His daughter, born in 2004 with his then-wife Melissa McKnight, also attended in an all-white outfit.

Matt was last seen in August, taking a snap with Shakira during her Las Mujeres Ya No Jolan World Tour at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles.
He opened up about his relationship with his daughter in 2014, telling PEOPLE that being a father has taught him a lot about patience. “I really enjoy 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 go on trips.”
Matt recalled the day his daughter was born in an interview with the Daily Mirror in 2016. “The moment I saw her, I fell in love. I had never felt like that before,” he said. “I couldn’t believe it. From that moment on, I knew nothing was going to stop me from loving her, even if she crashed my Ferrari.”
LeBlanc’s last Instagram post was in November 2023, following the death of her Friends co-star Matthew Perry. Prior to that, he posted on the platform twice, once in 2023 and again in 2022. His last major television appearance was on CBS’s Man with a Plan, which aired for four seasons from 2016 to 2020.

Although LeBlanc has largely stayed out of the spotlight in recent years, he has continued to socialize with his TV cast. David Schwimmer, who co-starred with LeBlanc on 10 seasons of Friends from 1994 to 2004, revealed in an interview on Good Morning America in January that he and LeBlanc are “pretty close” thanks to their funny interactions.
“LeBlanc and I are very close, even though I live in New York and he lives in Los Angeles,” said Schwimmer, 58.
“What’s funny is we have such a friendship that we might not talk for months, but out of nowhere he’ll send me messages with clips from the show. It’s always interesting to relive things that we filmed, what, over 25 years ago?” he continued.
“So he sent me something a few days ago that totally surprised me,” Schwimmer added of LeBlanc. “I completely forgot what I took, but it was the moment he ripped my shirt off.”
