Matthew Perry’s former fiancé has spoken out.
Perry and Molly Hurwitz were engaged from 2018 to 2021. And now she’s remembered their former life together.
Alongside a photo of Perry looking over a snow-covered city, Hurwitz admitted that “he would love that the world is talking about how talented he was. And he really was very talented.”
Hurwitz continued, remembering the time when she rewatched Friends with Perry by her side back in 2021. “As the Friends reunion was approaching, we rewatched the show together,” she revealed.
She recalled Perry’s reaction to his own performance during his time on the iconic sitcom. “‘F***, I was so good!!!…See what I did there,’ Hurwitz recalled him saying.
“We rewound and studied scenes. Our respect and appreciation of humor is something that connected us. Being with him as he rediscovered his brilliance was magical.
But, I obviously knew that man in a very different way, too. While I loved him deeper than I could comprehend, he was complicated, and he caused pain like I’d never known. No one in my adult life has had a more profound impact on me than Matthew Langford Perry. I have tremendous gratitude for that, for everything I learned from our relationship.”
As she concluded her statement, Hurwitz admitted, “I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention Al Anon, an invaluable resource for those who love someone struggling with this destructive disease.”
“Matty, I feel relief that you are at peace.”
As Mamas Uncut previously reported, the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s Office has released its preliminary findings in Matthew Perry’s death investigation.
After performing an initial autopsy, the LA County Medical Examiner’s Office revealed they are deferring his cause of death pending toxicology results and a further investigation. They also have not shared his manner of death.
Perry passed away at the age of 54 after reports have alleged that Perry reportedly drowned on October 28. He was discovered in his LA home.
While his father, mother, and stepfather were seen at the scene of the tragedy last night, they have also since shared a personal statement to TMZ. “We are heartbroken by the tragic loss of our beloved son and brother,” the statement began.
“Matthew brought so much joy to the world, both as an actor and a friend. You all meant so much to him and we appreciate the tremendous outpouring of love.”
TMZ reports that both Suzanne and John were visibly distraught after arriving at the scene.
Perry was reportedly discovered inside his jacuzzi after 911 was made aware of an apparent cardiac arrest, TMZ reported at the time. It remains unclear who called 911 or who discovered Perry in the hot tub.
Additionally, no drugs were found at the scene and foul play is not suspected.
Perry shared a photo of himself with his father John just last week.
Shortly after, just five days before his passing, Matthew Perry shared his last Instagram post. Hauntingly, the photo he shared showed himself in the hot tub.
“Oh, so warm water swirling around makes you feel good? I’m Mattman,” he captioned the photo. People are now commenting their condolences in the comments section.
Heartbreaking.
Perry was best known for playing Chandler Bing on the hit sitcom Friends. However, in his recently released memoir, there is a section of the book that is now going viral.
While Friends is something he knows he will be remembered for, he had hopes it wouldn’t be the only thing. Instead, Perry wrote, “When I die, as far as my so-called accomplishments go, it would be nice if Friends were listed far behind the things I did to try to help other people.”
Some of those things include the Perry House which he established in Malibu. The Perry House is a sober living facility for men.
During that time, Perry has been open about his battle with substance abuse.
The cast of Friends has also shared a joint statement, exclusively with People. The statement signed by Jennifer Aniston, Matt LeBlanc, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, and David Schwimmer read:
“We are all so utterly devastated by the loss of Matthew. We were more than just cast mates. We are a family. There is so much to say, but right now we’re going to take a moment to grieve and process this unfathomable loss.”
The statement continued, “In time we will say more, as and when we are able. For now, our thoughts and our love are with Matty’s family, his friends, and everyone who loved him around the world.”
Our hearts are with all of Perry’s fans, friends, and family. Absolutely devastating.
