Friends star David Schwimmer, 54, makes a rare sighting with daughter Cleo, 10, as they go helmet-free while sharing an electric scooter in NYC

David Schwimmer has daughter Cleo Buckman Schwimmer with ex-wife Zoe Buckman to whom he was married from 2010 until 2017.

The actor, 54, is rarely seen with his 10-year-old child so it was surprising when they were spotted riding the same electric scooter together in the NoHo neighborhood of New York City on Monday.

The Friends actor stood behind his little girl who showed off a head of short hot pink locks after shaving her head last year. They were both helmet free but had their masks on.

According to the New York City Department Of Transportation, helmets are recommended for all e-scooter riders, and ‘required for 16 and 17 year olds.’ Riders have to be at least 16 years of age.  

David had his hands on the controls as he looked ahead for traffic on the busy street. The actor was dressed down in a blue polo shirt and black shorts with blue sneakers and a matching cap as he added a backpack.

His daughter looked ready for summer in a short-sleeved peach T-shirt and denim shorts with cartoon drawings of a child and hearts on the front as she added sneakers with white socks.

David and Cleo’s mom Zoe met in London in 2007 and wed in 2010. In 2017 they called it quits.

Before Zoe he romanced Natalie Imbruglia (1996 – 1997), Mili Avital (1998 – 2001), Carla Alapont (2002 – 2003), Gina Calavera (2004) and Tina Barrett (2004).  

His hit show Friends ran from 1994 until 2004 and during that time, Schwimmer said that he had a ‘major crush’ on co-star Jennifer Aniston, who played his on-screen love interest Rachel Green.

He added during the Friends Reunion that though the feeling was mutual, they never acted on it because they were both in relationships and never single at the same time. 

Speaking on the show’s reunion special, David admitted: ‘During the first season I had a major crush on Jen.

‘In the first year or two there were moments we would cuddle on the couch and I was thinking, how did not everyone know we were crushing on each other? It was a situation we couldn’t do anything about, because one of us was always in a relationship and we never crossed that boundary, we respected that.’

While the rest of the cast admitted to host James Corden that they were well aware of the pair’s feelings, Jennifer agreed they could never act on their attraction but admitted they both thought it would be ‘a bummer’ if they only got to kiss one another as part of a storyline for their characters, Ross Geller and Rachel Green.

She said: ‘It was reciprocated, we’d spoon and fall asleep on the couch together. I remember saying to David it would be such a bummer if the first time we kissed was on national television, but it was.

‘We just channeled all of our admiration and love for each other into Ross and Rachel.’

But Courteney Cox thinks they were better as friends. She said: ‘It’s probably good you didn’t [get together]. It might not have been as good for the show.’

The pair’s admission came after the cast recently revealed they had an ‘unspoken rule’ not to date one another. Matthew Perry said: ‘There was a rule, it was really important to the six of us, that we kept a friendship. Hooking up could have caused a strangeness that might mess with things. And we are really good friends to this day.’

David added: ‘We didn’t want to jeopardize any of the great relationships and friendships we had established. It was kind of an unspoken rule.’
