Matthew Perry shared details of his six-year relationship with Mean Girls star Lizzy Caplan in his memoir and revealed the moment he was 'seconds away' from proposing
Matthew Perry, the star of Friends, had a heartbreaking romance with Mean Girls actress Lizzy Caplan and in his memoir revealed he was "seconds away" from proposing to her.
The story of how he met Lizzy is quite interesting as Matthew, then 36, crashed Lizzy's 23rd birthday party. He wrote about how their casual relationship evolved into a loving partnership, despite both having "intimacy issues." "And it was time, all I had to do was say, 'Honey, I love you. Will you...' But I didn't say it. All my fears reared up like a snake. I immediately went into Chandler Bing mode. 'Hey, hey, hey!' I said to her consternation, 'Look at this!'"
Despite attending couples therapy, he was still left wondering why he'd "never asked the damn question." Lizzy went on to marry British actor Tom Riley in 2017 after splitting from Matthew, who got engaged to Molly Hurwitz in 2020. "There was one person who wouldn't come to the play, even though I begged," he wrote. "The woman I'd dated for six years was, by now, dating a British guy, and they were spending half the year in London, the rest in Los Angeles."
