New reports have claimed that American-Canadian actor, Matthew Perry, died lonely and yearning for a wife and family.
A source, who shared this sad detail with DailyMail, mentioned that the actor had experienced a series of failed relationships that left him feeling sad and depressed.
The 54-year-old actor was found dead at his home in Los Angeles on Saturday, October 28, apparently due to drowning.
He reportedly played two games of pickleball earlier in the day before sending his assistant out on an errand. However, upon their return, they found him unresponsive in his hot tub.
Close sources have now revealed that Perry had a strong desire to be married and have children or stepchildren, which was influenced by his close relationship with his stepfather, Keith Morrison.
Matthew was never married and had ended his engagement to talent manager Molly Hurwitz in 2021. Throughout his life, he was also romantically linked with several well-known actresses, including Julia Roberts and Lizzy Caplan.
The source, who was close to the Friend’s star said,
Matthew always dreamed of having the perfect family. He wanted a wife, and at least a couple of kids. And he said he wouldn’t even mind marrying a woman who already had kids.
No one meant more to Perry in this world than his stepfather Keith Morrison, the host of Dateline, who married his mother in 1981.
Lately the star has been looking for love again. But a string of failed relationships left him feeling sad and depressed, and as if he would never find that love he longed for.
Matthew dated dozens of women. But in the end, he always felt they were only interested in his money and his fame. And he was generous to a fault.
He would shower women with gifts only to have them pack up their goodies and walk away.
In the end I think his years of fighting demons… Drugs and alcohol… Took a toll on him, and on his health, and eventually he would end up alone again.’
