Matt LeBlanc enjoyed a special day out with his daughter Marina in the Woodland Hills neighborhood of Los Angeles on July 1.

The actor opted for a casual look, dressed in a pair of dark wash jeans and a simple black t-shirt. The ensemble was styled with a pair of sneakers, a red leather bag, sunglasses, and a black cap.

Meanwhile, Marina looked stylish in a pair of red linen pants that featured an abstract white pattern. The bold garment was styled with a simple white top, sneakers, and a red leather handbag. Marina's brunette locks were left down in soft waves framed by full bangs.

Matt LeBlanc's family life

The Friends alum welcomed his daughter in 2004 with his then-wife Melissa McKnight. The former couple divorced in 2006, but continue to amicably co-parent their child. Marina began experiencing seizures when she was just eight months old. At 11 months, she was diagnosed with cortical dysplasia, a common cause of epilepsy. Matt was also a stepfather during his marriage to Melissa to her children Tyler and Jacquelyn.

Matt LeBlanc AND HIS DAUGHTER

"I remember when my daughter, Marina, was born. The second I laid eyes on her, I was in love, and I had never felt that way before," he told The Daily Mirror in 2016. "I couldn’t believe it. I knew from that moment there was nothing that would ever stop me from loving her – even if she crashed my Ferrari."

Marina is set to follow in her father's star-studded footsteps as she is a talented musician. "She has a beautiful voice," Matt told People in 2014. "She has an audition for the talent show at her school today. I helped her to prepare some new pop song I don’t know."

The 22-year-old also loves horses, having spent much of her childhood at the family's Santa Barbara ranch. 

In 2022, the actor put his four-bedroom property in the Pacific Palisade on the market for $8,750,000. Matt acquired the Spanish-style residence in 2007 for $7.4 million, before letting the property for $12,995 per month in 2012.

Matt LeBlanc's comeback role

The actor, who is best known for playing Joey Tribbiani in Friends, took a hiatus from acting in 2020. Matt's last TV work ended in 2020, with the conclusion of the sitcom Man with a Plan after four seasons. He then made appearances in the Friends reunion special in 2021 as well as an episode of Top Gear that same year.

However, CBS revealed on April 15 that they'd confirmed a new show from the development room currently titled Flint. The show is expected to premiere during the 2027-28 season.

Matt will also serve as an executive producer on the series as well as star in it. Per their release: "As part of CBS' year‑round long-term development strategy, the network has ordered a development room to start writing scripts for FLINT (working title), a drama from Evan Katz (showrunner of 24), developed in partnership with Matt LeBlanc, who would also star and executive produce pending a series order for broadcast."

 A synopsis for the show was also shared, which reads: "FLINT tells the story of a burnt-out LAPD detective who, on the verge of retirement, is blindsided when the city extends his service by five years."

"Determined to get fired, he breaks rules and disobeys orders, which, to his dismay, makes him an even better cop."
