Matthew Perry has called off his engagement to Molly Hurwitz just days after the hotly-popular Friends reunion.

Per People magazine, the 51-year-old actor broke up with his 29-year-old fiancée, literary manager Hurwitz, whom he proposed to in November 2020.

In an official statement made to People, Perry said: "Sometimes things just don't work out and this is one of them. I wish Molly the best."

Take a look at the trailer for the Friends reunion in the video below:

According to Cosmopolitan, the couple began dating back in 2018 but only went public with details of their relationship on Valentine's Day last year.

On February 14, Hurwitz posted a picture of the actor to her private Instagram account, along with the caption: "Second year being my valentine, but his first as an Instagram influencer. HVD to my favorite. [sic]"

At the time of his engagement announcement, the actor told People: "I decided to get engaged. Luckily, I happened to be dating the greatest woman on the face of the planet at this time."

This comes after a number of viewers expressed concern about Perry's health due to his appearance on HBO Max's Friends reunion special.

One person wrote on Twitter: "I watched the #FriendsReunion last night! It was SO GREAT to see them together again, and I loved all the behind the scenes stuff!

"But I wasn’t a fan of the celebrity cameos and it was sad to see Matthew Perry slurring his words. [sic]"

Another concerned fan tweeted the actor: "You were slurring your speech a bit on the reunion. Take care of yourself. No more relapses please. You're a great actor and we need you around!! [sic]"

Meanwhile, third tweeted: "Though I loved the reunion, it was difficult watching Matthew Perry like this. He was talking with a slurred speech. Sad to see our beloved Chandler like this."

Defending Perry in an appearance on The Hollywood Reporter's TV Top 5 podcast, the special's director Ben Winston stated: "[Perry] was great. People can sometimes 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."

Friends executive producer Kevin Bright told The Hollywood Reporter: "What people say is what people say. I don’t have any[thing] to say about that, except it was great to see him. And I think he’s very funny on the show.

"I think [Perry’s] OK. He seems stronger and better since the last time I saw him, and excited about going forward."
