Hurwitz and Perry first began dating back in 2018 and he proposed in November of 2020.
“I decided to get engaged,” Perry told People magazine at the time of the engagement. “Luckily, I happened to be dating the greatest woman on the face of the planet at this time.”
The actor recently endured online speculation about the state of his health after he appeared in HBO Max’s “Friends: The Reunion” special. Fans pointed out Perry had “slurred speech” during a promo for the show shared by People magazine.
The “Friends: The Reunion” director defended Perry and confirmed he is in good health.
“Yes, he was great,” Ben Winston told The Hollywood Reporter. “People can sometimes just be unkind. I wish they weren’t. I loved working with him. He’s a brilliantly funny man and I thought he had some great one-liners in the show.”
“I felt just happy and lucky to be in his presence and directing him on something like this.”
Perry also had recently been accused of matching with a 19-year-old girl on dating and social networking app Raya back in May of 2020.
