Late Hollywood legend Matthew Perry lived a very colorful life, which included a string of high-profile romances. The late "Friends" star was involved in romantic relationships with big names like Julia Roberts, Cameron Diaz, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Tricia Fisher, to name a few.

Unfortunately, most of Perry's relationships with these ladies came to an end as the result of problems caused by his struggle with addiction. However, in his memoir, "Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing," he gave credit to several of his exes for saving his life.

Despite his past relationships not having worked out, there was no doubt that he loved each of his exes, and they, in turn, loved him too. Naturally, when he passed away, many of them took to social media to post loving tributes in his honor.

Among the dedications was Paltrow, who met Perry in 1993. In a section of her caption, she conveyed the following:

"We drove out to swim in creeks, had beers in the local college bar, kissed in a field of long grass..."

One tribute came from actress Elizabeth Hurley. Though the two did not date in real life, they played on-screen love interests in the film, "Serving Sara."

Another one of Perry's exes, Fisher, also dedicated a post to the late actor. In her heartfelt caption, she mentioned:

"Once upon a time... you were a major part of my younger life..."

Molly Hurwitz, who also had a relationship with Perry, dedicated a lengthy post speaking about the late star. In her message, Hurwitz shared that she had a deep love for Perry, whom she also said had a profound impact on her like no other.

Though she wasn't necessarily an ex of his, Valerie Bertinelli and Perry shared a moment of intimacy at one point during his life. In his memoir, Perry disclosed:

"Valerie and I had a long, elaborate make-out session. It was happening—maybe she felt the same way I did. I told her I had thought about doing that for a long time, and she had said it right back to me."

Bertinelli, who was still married to the late rocker Eddie Van Halen at that time, responded to Perry's confession in a TikTok video. In the video, Bertinelli expressed her embarrassment via a facial expression and covered her face as Taylor Swift's "Anti-Hero" played in the background:

"Anyone misbehave in their 20's and early 30's? Are you mortified?"
