Everybody Loves Raymondis forever. You could turn it on today, watch Ray complain, and it still hits. Timeless. The show dropped on June 25, 2025, and instantly became a classic. For nine years, it had us laughing and crying. With its penetrating humor and relatable chaos, it snagged 15 Emmys before ending in 2005.
The Barone family? Messy, dysfunctional, and always up in each other’s business. That’s why we loved them. Ray dodging his parents, Debra fighting for space, Robert being, well, Robert. It gave us classic moments we’re still quoting.
But now it’s been 20 years since we said goodbye to Ray and his gang. Curious what the cast is up to? From career highs to personal milestones, we’ve got all the updates on theEverybody Loves Raymondfamily in 2025.
1. Ray Romano as Raymond Barone
Ray Romano was Raymond Barone. His deadpan wit and hilarious dad jokes are iconic. On the show, Ray was a sportswriter steering life with a pushy family and a very patient wife. The role earned Ray an Emmy, along with a loyal fanbase.

Oh, and let’s not forgetSomewhere in Queens(2022), a heartfelt film he wrote, directed, and starred in (a triple threat)! Off-screen, Romano is a family guy. Married to Anna Romano since 1987, they’ve raised four kids together—Alexandra, Matthew, Gregory, and Joseph.
2. Patricia Heaton as Debra Barone
Debra Barone had it rough. Patricia Heaton played Ray’s no-nonsense wife who somehow juggled three kids, a clueless husband, and in-laws who lived right across the street. Debra’s sarcasm and fierce disposition made her a fan favorite.
Heaton nailed the role, winning two Emmys along the way. AfterRaymond,she didn’t slow down. She starred inBack to Youwith Kelsey Grammer, but her big hit came as Frankie Heck in ABC’sThe Middle.She spent nine seasons as another overworked mom, proving that chaos loves her.
Then, she switched it up withCarol’s Second Act,playing a mom who decides to chase her dream of becoming a doctor. Heaton even wrote a book inspired by her career shift:Your Second Act.

3. Brad Garrett as Robert Barone
Who could forget Robert Barone? Played by Brad Garrett, Ray’s older brother was a towering New York City cop with a severe case of middle-child syndrome. He lived with his parents way too long, was hilariously awkward, and always felt outranked by Ray. But that’s what made him so lovable.
Garrett absolutely crushed it, winning three Emmys for his role. AfterRaymond,the actor stayed busy. He starred in’Til Deathand guest-starred on shows likeSingle ParentsandNot Dead Yet.He also voiced characters for Disney and other animated projects. Oh, and his stand-up comedy? Still going strong.
In his personal life, Garrett confounded some big challenges. After divorcing his first wife, Jill Diven, he married actress IsaBeall Quella in 2021. He also opened up about his battle with alcoholism, celebrating years of sobriety and inspiring fans to seek help if needed.
4. Monica Horan as Amy MacDougall
Monica Horan joined the cast later as Amy, Robert’s sweet and slightly swamped girlfriend-turned-wife. Amy and Debra often bonded over their mutual frustration with the Barone family.
AfterRaymond,Horan popped up in shows likeThe MiddleandBetter Things.But her biggest association with the show is her husband—Philip Rosenthal, the creator ofEverybody Loves Raymond.Yep, she married the boss!
These days, Horan enjoys a quieter life. At 61, she and Rosenthal focus on family and philanthropy, raising two kids together and keeping the Barone legacy alive.
5. Peter Boyle as Frank Barone
Frank Barone was the ultimate grumpy dad. Peter Boyle brought him to life with unmatched deadpan satire, making him one of the funniest TV dads ever. But in real life? Total sweetheart. Ray Romano even said Boyle made him“feel welcome.”
BeforeRaymond,Boyle had a legendary career, starring in films likeYoung FrankensteinandTaxi Driver.Sadly, he passed away in 2006, just a year after the show ended.
6. Doris Roberts as Marie Barone
Marie Barone was the queen of guilt trips. Played by Doris Roberts, she meddled, doted, and bickered her way into our hearts. She was autocratic, sure, but she was also mirthful.
