Matthew Perry's love life before tragic death - Hollywood star to mystery lady
Matthew Perry has previously spoken about his love life and how his past has impacted his ability to find love and settle down.
He died on Sunday aged 54. Emergency responders called to the home reportedly found the star dead in his hot tub.
TMZ claims the actor had returned home following a round of pickleball (a mash-up of tennis, badminton and ping-pong) and sent his assistant out on an errand shortly thereafter, but was found unresponsive when the aide returned home just two hours later, prompting him to call for help.
In the years before his tragic death - which was announced on Sunday - the Friends star openly-struggled with a addiction to alcohol and opioids, subsequently hurting many of his romantic relationships. However, last year, he revealed he had been sober and admitted he was looking for a supportive partner.

He wrote: "Dating Julia Roberts had been too much for me. I had been constantly certain that she was going to break up with me."
Matthew went on to have short-lived romances with Scream actress Neve Campbell, Heather Graham and Yasmine Bleeth. He was embroiled in a controversial two-year relationship with Rachel Dunn, who was 14-years younger than him.
