The 17 Again actor appeared to be single at the time of his death in October 2023. While he largely kept his private life out of the public eye in recent years, his last known relationship was with literary agent Molly Hurwitz.
The two began dating in 2018 and got engaged in 2020, but ultimately called it off the following year. When confirming their split to People in June 2021, Perry said, “Sometimes things just don’t work out and this is one of them. I wish Molly the best.”
After their breakup, Perry did not publicly confirm any new relationships.
Matthew was never married, and Molly was the only girlfriend he was ever publicly engaged to.
His longest relationship was with Mean Girls actress Lizzy Caplan. The pair broke up in 2012 after six years together, and Matthew said in his 2022 memoir, Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing, that they almost got engaged during their time together.
