Matthew Perry seemingly never spoke to ex Lizzy Caplan again following their 2012 split. The “Friends” alum made the admission in his 2022 memoir, “Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing,” which hit shelves a year before his death.Though Perry doesn’t name Caplan by name in the book, several references point to the actress.The pair initially met when Caplan was 23 and the “Fools Rush In” actor was 36.“In fact, I knew she was twenty-three because I’d crashed her twenty-third birthday party.

Our subsequent initial make-out session was in the back of a really messy Toyota (to think I’d spent all that money on fancy cars and here I was in the backseat of a tan Corolla),” he recalled. “When we were done, I said, ‘I’m gettin out of the car now.

Mostly because I’m thirty-six.’“So began two years of probably record-breaking amounts of sexual intercourse, with no strings attached, both of us following the friends-with-benefits rule to a tee,” he continued. “We were on the same page.

We never went to dinner, we never talked about each other’s families. We never discussed what went on in each other’s lives regarding other people.
