00:00 - I wanna settle down and have children one day
00:02 and all of that stuff.
00:04 - While Matthew shared those dreams with us 20 years ago,
00:06 the closest he came to marriage
00:08 was when he got engaged to literary agent
00:10 Molly Hurwitz in 2020,
00:12 but they split less than a year later.
00:14 Last night, Molly paid tribute to Matthew
00:16 alongside this photo of his silhouette.
00:18 She wrote a moving message in which she candidly shares,
00:21 "While I loved him deeper than I could comprehend,
00:24 "he was complicated and he caused pain
00:26 "like I'd never known."
00:27 - What's up, Matthew?
00:29 - In his 2022 memoir, Matthew doesn't mention
00:31 his former fiance by name
00:33 when telling the story of his proposal,
00:35 but fans pieced together that he was referring to Molly
00:38 by revealing details like getting engaged
00:40 during the COVID-19 pandemic.
00:42 - I bought her a ring because I was desperate
00:44 that she would leave me.
00:45 I was high on 1800 milligrams of hydrocodone
00:49 when I asked her to marry me.
00:50 - Ultimately, Matthew said he was not ready for marriage
00:53 and he barely remembered proposing to her.
00:55 Last year, Matthew revealed to Diane Saurier
00:58 that some of his relationships failed
01:00 due in part to feelings of unworthiness.
01:02 - I'd be in relationships that were going great
01:05 with wonderful women,
01:07 and my subconscious, I got scared and break up with them.
01:12 - That's exactly what he did with Julia Roberts,
01:15 whom he started dating in the mid '90s
01:17 after wooing her with three dozen roses
01:19 to guest star on "Friends."
01:21 - I want you right here, right now.
01:24 - Right now, right here?
01:27 - I think we're in kind of a public play.
01:29 - Imagine if you went on a first date with somebody
01:31 and you're just kind of getting to know the person,
01:33 and then the next day it's in every newspaper
01:35 that you're the hot couple.
01:37 It puts a unnecessary pressure on the whole process
01:42 of dating, which is a high pressure thing anyway.
01:44 - Beautiful girl.
01:45 - What's your, you wanna say her name?
01:46 - Her name is Rachel Dunn.
01:48 - Another one of Perry's most high profile romances
01:51 was with then fashion student, Rachel Dunn.
01:53 That came towards the end of his 10 year run on "Friends."
01:56 They were together for two years.
01:57 In his memoir, Matthew called her
01:59 the ex-girlfriend of my dreams.
02:01 - She's pretty terrific.
02:04 I've learned from my own experiences
02:07 that those things should remain as private as they can be.
02:09 - Matthew's longest relationship was actually
02:11 with Lizzie Kaplan of "Mean Girls" fame.
02:14 They managed to keep their relationship
02:16 extremely low profile for six years
02:18 before splitting in 2012.
02:20 His other past loves include Trisha Fisher.
02:23 Matthew revealed he lost his virginity to the actress
02:26 last night, Trisha shared this photo of the two
02:28 as a young couple with the caption,
02:30 "Once upon a time, you were a major part
02:32 "of my younger life.
02:33 "Thank you for all the laughter,
02:34 "the memories and the life lessons."
