He proposed to her in 2019 while in rehab in Switzerland. He barely remembers proposing to her because, at the time, he was "high on 1,800 milligrams of hydrocodone," wrote the late actor.

"I had even asked for her family's blessing. Then I'd proposed, high as a kite. And on one knee. And she knew it, too. And she said yes."

The actor also confessed, "I bought her a ring because I was desperate that she would leave me. I didn't want to be this injured and alone during COVID," he wrote.

As per media reports, they got engaged in November 2020. Perry, at the time, told People that Hurwitz was "the greatest woman on the face of the planet at the time."

However, the couple parted ways and ended the engagement in June 2021.

She went on to talk about the impact Perry has had on her life. "While I loved him deeper than I could comprehend, he was complicated, and he caused pain like I'd never known. No one in my adult life has had a more profound impact on me than Matthew Langford Perry."

Hurwitz thanked Perry for all the lessons she learned from their relationship.

She concluded the post by saying, "Matty, I feel relief that you are at peace."
