Matthew Perry’s Ex Molly Hurwitz Is Seen For 1st Time Since Actor’s Death
Matthew Perry’s ex-fiancée Molly Hurwitz was seen for the first time since the actor’s death.
Hurwitz, 32, could be seen relaxing in a park with friends in Los Angeles on Sunday, October 29. The literary manager — who split from Perry in 2021 — looked casual in a flannel shirt, a baseball cap, sunglasses and leggings while giving her dog a walk.
The outing came one day after Perry’s sudden death on Saturday, October 28. The Friends star, 56, was found dead at his home in Los Angeles after an apparent drowning. Police rushed to the scene responding to a cardiac arrest call, per TMZ.
On Monday, October 30, his cause of death was “deferred” after an initial autopsy. The results were inconclusive due to a pending toxicology report, according to the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner. The investigation into the cause of his death is ongoing.

I want that to be the first thing that’s mentioned, and I’m going to live the rest of my life proving that.”
Hurwitz was Perry’s last public romance prior to his death. The pair started dating in 2018. Two years later, Perry got down on one knee and proposed. At the time, he gushed to People about his relationship with Hurwitz.
