Matt LeBlanc first came to prominence back in 1994 when he landed the role of Joey Tribbiani on the hit Warner Bros. series, Friends.

While he only had $11 to his name before joining the cast, it's clear his time as Joey paid off, as the actor can now revel in his impressive $80 million net worth. One person who happens to be a fan of Friends is none other than LeBlanc's daughter, Marina Pearl.

The star welcomed Marina Pearl back in 2004, only weeks before the hit sitcom ended. Now, with Matt celebrating the most recent Friends reunion, celebrations are also in order for Marina, who is turning 18 very soon, sparking fans to wonder just who Marina Pearl is.

Updated on June 23, 2021, by Michael Chaar: In 2004, Matt LeBlanc welcomed his daughter, Marina Pearl with ex, Melissa McKnight. 17-years later, and fans are wondering who the teenager is. Well, considering Marina has kept a low profile, there aren't too many details regarding her studies. Despite living a private life, Matt has spoken out about Marina, revealing that she's a huge Friends fan, all while taking an interest in horses, and being daddy's little girl! As fans assume Marina will be jetting off to college next year, Matt can return his focus to acting, which included his own show, Man With A Plan, up until its cancelation in September 2020.

Who Is Matt LeBlanc's Daughter, Marina Pearl?

If one could believe it, Friends' last episode aired 17 years ago; and the series finale wasn't the only milestone in Matt LeBlanc's life that happened in 2004!

Three months before the finale aired, LeBlanc's now ex-wife, Melissa McKnight, gave birth to a daughter they would name Marina Pearl. As luck would have it, LeBlanc had his next role written in the stars for him; the actor now had the opportunity (and the time) to fully embrace fatherhood, as the show was coming to an end.

Marina Pearl's early days of life were a bit tough. As shared by Matt LeBlanc, she began having seizures as a baby and soon received a diagnosis known as cortical dysplasia. Luckily, the smallest member of the LeBlanc family would soon see better days as the issue would soon correct itself, and the LeBlancs could rest a bit easier.

What Does Marina Pearl Do?

Not much is known about Marina's personal life these days; her dad has long been an advocate for privacy in his personal life, especially in Marina's younger years, so it is no surprise the now-17-year-old likes to remain removed from the spotlight as much as she can, so much that her Instagram account is currently set to private!

Although her studies are kept a secret, Matt has discussed his daughter's interests. The young LeBlanc had a well-rounded sense of hobbies and passions. As a young girl, Marina loved a majestic creature: She loved horses! Her father joked in an interview with People magazine before Marina's thirteenth birthday that he is also "into" horses.

A notable change in Marina's interests? She's seemingly moved on from enjoying watching Friends with her dad.

Daddy's Little Girl

One thing we do know about Marina: She is still the apple of her father's eye! Being a teen seemingly hasn't deterred Marina from enjoying quality time with her dad. According to Just Jared, the private-but-proud dad adores his daughter. He shared, "Spending time with her is the best thing I’ve ever done. We have a great bond and it’s the best thing in my life."

Matt and Marina Pearl LaBlanc are an underrated example of a Hollywood father and daughter duo who are able to keep a tight bond and also keep a tight grip on their privacy. Perhaps this gives the father and daughter duo the time to sit back and perhaps enjoy the most recent Friends reunion, where Matt reunited with his former cast members for the first time in years!

As Matt readies Marina's send-off to college, considering she's at that age, the actor can focus on his career as he took on the lead role on CBS' show, Man With A Plan, which was sadly canceled last Fall.
