Matthew Perry’s ex-fiancée Molly Hurwitz is recalling the “deep” love she had for the “Friends” actor, following his shocking death Saturday.
“He would love that the world is talking about how talented he was. And he really was very talented,” Hurwitz, a 32-year-old literary manager, captioned a photograph of Perry’s silhouette to Instagram on Monday.
“Because the ‘Friends’ reunion was approaching, we rewatched the show together. “F–k, I used to be so good!!!…See what I did there???” 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.”
Hurwitz continued, “But, I obviously knew that man in a really different way, too. While I loved him deeper than I could comprehend, he was complicated, and he caused pain like I’d never known. Nobody in my adult life has had a more profound impact on me than Matthew Langford Perry. I actually have tremendous gratitude for that, for every little thing I learned from our relationship.”
“I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention Al Anon, a useful resource for many who love someone combating this destructive disease,” she added.
“Matty, I feel relief that you just are at peace. Sincerely, Moll-o-Rama(…fication),” Hurwitz signed off.
The pair began dating in 2018 and after keeping a low profile for years, got engaged in November 2020 while Perry was at a Switzerland rehab center.
Nevertheless, they called things off in June 2021.
“Sometimes things just don’t work out and that is certainly one of them,” Perry told People on the time. “I wish Molly the very best.”
Perry’s “Friends” co-stars Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, and David Schwimmer finally addressed Perry’s death in a joint statement Monday evening following the news that he drowned within the jacuzzi at his California home.
“We’re all so utterly devastated by the lack of Matthew. We were greater than just solid mates. We’re a family,” read their statement, obtained by People. “There’s a lot to say, but right away we’re going to take a moment to grieve and process this unfathomable loss.”
“In time we’ll say more, as and after we are able,” the statement continued. “For now, our thoughts and our love are with Matty’s family, his friends, and everybody who loved him all over the world.”
