In 2018, Matthew Perry faced a battle for his life when he had to have abdominal surgery to fix a gastrointestinal perforation. This condition, often referred to as ruptured bowel, requires emergency surgery and can involve a tear in the throat, stomach, or intestines, per BBC. In September 2018, Perry went to Twitter and wrote, "Three months in a hospital bed. Check," suggesting the surgery happened in June.
These days, Perry seems to have found lasting love with his soon-to-be bride Molly Hurwitz. However, that relationship hit a snag when 20-year-old Kate Haralson revealed Perry had hit on her on the exclusive dating app Raya when she was just 19. According to Haralson, after they matched on the app, Perry was flirtatious with her and at one point even asked her if he was as old as her dad, per Page Six. (He's actually a year older than her dad.) Yikes. Haralson was eventually kicked off Raya for exposing Perry. Perry and Hurwitz appear to still be together, although she hasn't been featured on his Instagram since before Christmas, and Harelson went public with her statements the following May.
And, of course, Perry reunited with his "Friends" friends in 2021, 17 years after the series wrapped. "If one of us bumped into each other, that was it, that was the end of the night," Perry recalled of their off-screen friendship (via Today). "You just sat with the person all night long."
