“Sometimes things just don’t work out and this is one of them. I wish Molly the best,” Matthew Perry revealed in a 2021 statement (obtained by PEOPLE), announcing the end of his relationship and engagement with Molly Hurwitz.
While fans know the late comedian thanks to his portrayal of one of TV’s most famous characters, Molly leads a much more private life. Although she also works in the entertainment industry, Molly’s Instagram page is private.
Molly Hurwitz Was Engaged to Matthew Perry For 6 Months
Matthew announced his engagement to Molly on Thanksgiving day in November of 2020, and was ecstatic at the time. “I decided to get engaged. Luckily, I happened to be dating the greatest woman on the face of the planet at this time,” the Friends star told PEOPLE. He had been dating Molly for about two years by then; their romance reportedly began in 2018, according to the outlet.
Molly reportedly confirmed the romance in a Christmas tree-themed Instagram post during the holiday season in 2019; the photo was said to have been taken inside Matthew’s $35 million penthouse in Century City, CA. “According to my parents’ custody agreement, my mother was not allowed to have a Christmas tree. Fortunately, there’s no such agreement for a daughter’s boyfriend, so Hurwitz gets a treeeeeeee!!!,” she captioned the post, sources told The Sun.
