The engagement between Mathew Perry and Molly Hurwitz is off. People Magazine reported the news in a scoop.
No specific reason was given for the breakup. “Sometimes things just don’t work out and this is one of them,” Perry said, in a statement to People. “I wish Molly the best.”
The news comes a week after the long awaited Friends reunion finally aired on HBO Max. The special was a disappointment to most. The Friends cast took a trip down memory lane together on recreated sets from the hit TV show which lasted for ten years. And Perry shocked fans, even before the special aired.

In a promo for the reunion show Mathew Perry seemed to slur his speech. This left people concerned about his health, especially considering his history of addiction. The actor famously took time off during Friends TV run to go to rehab.

His overall performance during the reunion special was not much better. He looked tired and his face seemed to have been the victim of one too many plastic surgeries. Just about the only good thing in his appearance were his teeth. Interestingly, the actor’s people explained away his speech problems by saying that he had just had dental work done and so his mouth still hurt. But why would Perry have waited to go to the dentist until just before the special filmed?
The couple had announced their engagement last November. “I decided to get engaged,” Mathew Perry told People Magazine at the time. “Luckily, I happened to be dating the greatest woman on the face of the planet at this time.”
Molly Hurwitz is a 29 year old talent manager and producer who began her career with ICM Partners agency working in the mailroom. Mathew Perry and Molly Hurwitz had been dating since 2019.

The 51 year old Perry has dated a number of famous women over the years. He dated Baywatch beauty Yasmine Bleeth in 1995 and Oscar winning actress Julia Roberts from 1995 to 1996. Roberts even appeared on famous post-Super Bowl episode of Friends in which she played someone who wanted revenge on Perry’s character Chandler.
Mathew Perry does seem to like to date Jewish celebrities and Jewish women in the entertainment industry. Perry previously dated actress Lizzy Caplan for six years.
