Matt LeBlanc has a solid relationship with his mother Patricia — he even used his first bits of Friends money to buy her a home and still proudly refers to himself as a "mommy's boy" who rings her up for pep talks before public appearances, according to The Telegraph. However, he doesn't share the same kind of connection to his father Paul LeBlanc, who has been more than willing to share the dark details of their damaged relationship with the media.
Matt's father left his mother when he was still a baby, and he has blamed his parents' failed marriage(s) as part of the reason his own didn't last, telling The Telegraph, "I don't have a prime example set by my parents. My mum was married twice. My dad has been married eight, nine, 10 times. He was a ladies' man. Now he's old. I don't talk to him." However, Paul has offered some stinging critiques of Matt as well, accusing him of being something of a scoundrel. "[Matt]'s not the Joey Tribbiani that everybody loves," Paul told news.com.au." He's still my son but I'm very hurt by the type of person he's become."
Those public comments about Matt (including the allegation that he'd stepped out with Aniston) apparently drove the nail in the coffin of their relationship, and the two reportedly stopped speaking altogether shortly after Paul's interview went live.
