Are Ross and Rachel still together?

He divorced his first wife of eight years (although in the beginning claimed to be four years), Carol Willick, when it emerged that she was as a lesbian and was having an affair with another woman. However, in a flashback episode to when he and Carol were newly dating, he gushed about how "she's on the lacrosse team and the golf team" and he enthuses that "she plays for both teams!" They still got along well, however, and shared custody of their son Ben, who was born in 'The One With The Birth', one of the final episodes of the first season. In an alternate reality storyline during the show ("The One That Could Have Been"), Ross was still married to Carol, but their sex life was stagnant. He doesn't seem to realise Carol is a lesbian. When Ross suggests to Carol that they have a threesome, she not only is all for it, but has the perfect woman: Susan. Ross is forced to accept that his wife is gay, and he ends up consoling Rachel after she discovers that her own husband is having an affair as well.
