Why did Matthew Perry and Yasmine Bleeth keep their relationship a secret? Their brief love-affair blossomed after split with Julia Roberts
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Not many fans know that Matthew Perry and Yasmine Bleeth were in a relationship during the actor's 'Friends' days. It started with their on-screen chemistry in the 90s when he had a crush on the ‘Baywatch’ star. The two started dating at some point in 1996.
Since the pair kept their relationship under close wraps, no one could take their pictures together. It is said that after Perry's relationship with Julia Roberts, he decided not to make his next love affair public.
Perry-Bleeth relationship didn't last long
Their relationship was a short one, as per insiders. Bleeth's popularity slowly diminished too, and she now chooses to live a private life.
Bleeth later married Paul Cerrito, whom she met in rehab in 2002. Meanwhile, Perry went on to date other celebrities, including Neve Campbell, Maeve Quinlan, Lauren Graham, Rachel Dunn, Lizzy Caplan, and Molly Hurwitz, as per The Things.

During a ‘Friends’ episode, "As they watch Baywatch from their respective apartments, Joey accuses Chandler of being “in love with Yasmine Bleeth,” to which Chandler replies, “Well, how could anyone not be in love with Yasmine Bleeth?”
Both men then get especially excited as the lady lifeguards start to run, with Chandler exclaiming, “Run, Yasmine, run like the wind,'" Eighties Kids wrote.
As per Narcity, "After his public breakup with Roberts, Perry almost immediately began publicly dating actress Yasmine Bleeth. She was known primarily for her role on Baywatch in the 90s. As of now, she's retired completely from acting. Their relationship only lasted a few months. "

Perry and Hurwitz failed relationship
Perry, 51, and Molly Hurwitz, 29, got engaged in 2020 and confirmed their relationship status months later
"Luckily, I happened to be dating the greatest woman on the face of the planet at this time," Perry told People. "Second year being my valentine, but his first as an Instagram influencer," Hurwitz wrote on her now-private Instagram account.
It is reported that Hurwitz chose not to move ahead with their union because he ‘flirted with other women.’
Before Hurwitz, Perry dated Lizzy Caplan for six years. He and Julia Roberts briefly got together after her appearance on the show.
She played Susie 'Underpants' Moss who returned to avenge the embarrassment Perry's Chandler Bing had caused her. While in his head he thought they were getting somewhere, Susie only wanted payback.
