Matthew Perry, the unforgettable Chandler Bing from Friends, has been found dead at the age of 54 in his home in Los Angeles, which is a sad farewell for fans of the iconic series.
Perry's personal life, especially his romantic relationships with various celebrities, has also captured the attention of the general public over the years. The actor, throughout his career, spoke on several occasions about his personal life and in his memoir titled Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing he also reviewed his love history.
Among the most famous relationships, his romance with Julia Roberts stands out, which began while filming Friends. Perry, who was responsible for convincing Roberts to appear on the series, began a relationship that lasted a few months in 1995. During that time, they even celebrated the arrival of the new year at Roberts' home in New Mexico. However, the relationship ended due to Perry's insecurities, as he thought Roberts would eventually leave him.
Another of his notable crushes was with actress Gwyneth Paltrow in the 1990s, before both were recognized figures in Hollywood. According to Perry's memoir, they shared a kiss in a closet during a party, an episode that was kept out of public knowledge due to her anonymity at the time.
He was also romantically linked to Yasmine Bleeth, Baywatch actress, although this relationship was quite discreet and lasted only a few months. A similar case was that of Neve Campbell, star of Scream, with whom Perry had a brief affair in 1998 during the filming of "Tango for Three."
Instead, his relationship with Lizzy Caplan was his longest, lasting for six years, from 2005 to 2012. Despite starting out as "friends with benefits," the relationship deepened over time, and Perry mentions in his book that the breakup with Caplan was one of the most difficult to overcome.
Perry also had less high-profile relationships, such as his romance with Tricia Leigh Fisher, which helped him overcome impotence in his youth, and his relationship with Lauren Graham, from Gilmore Girls, which was quite brief and about which not many details are known. .
Most recently, Perry became engaged to his literary agent Molly Hurwitz in 2020, although the couple called off their engagement in June 2021. Perry publicly expressed his best wishes for Hurwitz following the breakup.
Finally, Perry declared having been in love with Jennifer Aniston, his co-star in Friends, although this romantic interest was not reciprocal and he ended up throwing in the towel over the years. However, they were able to overcome this episode and forge a fruitful friendship thanks to the well-known series.
