According to multiple reports, Vinetria was present with Ye when he sat for his viral 'Drink Champs' interview. The duo was also papped at Ye’s Sunday Service recently.

The news of the couple's breakup came a few days after the actor got fans worried about his heath at the recent 'Friends' reunion. After the split, the actor exclusively told PEOPLE in a statement: "Sometimes things just don't work out and this is one of them. I wish Molly the best."
Matthew got engaged to Hurwitz in November 2020 after two years of dating. At that time, Perry said, "I decided to get engaged. Luckily, I happened to be dating the greatest woman on the face of the planet at this time." However, it was later reported that Hurwitz put their wedding on hold after he allegedly "flirted with other women" while they were on a break. It was reported that 20-year-old Kate Haralson exposed Perry for flirting with her after they matched on Raya when she was just 19 years old and he was 50. After his dating app scandal, a source revealed that Molly wanted to "take a breather".
