MATTHEW Perry has been secretly dating a stunning brunette for months and enjoyed a romantic Christmas with her, sources have revealed.
The star's new girlfriend is believed to be talent manager and producer Molly Hurwitz, who appeared to confirm the secret romance on social media as she spent Christmas at his swanky LA penthouse.
The Friends actor, who is believed to have been single for years amid his public battle with drugs and alcohol, was seen leaving Dan Tana’s Italian restaurant in West Hollywood with a mystery brunette last month.
Now sources have told Sun Online the mystery woman is 28-year-old Molly, who posted about her “boyfriend” on Instagram alongside a photograph apparently taken at his $35 million penthouse in Century City, Los Angeles.
“According to my parents’ custody agreement, my mother was not allowed to have a Christmas tree," Molly wrote to her 1,239 followers on her private Instagram page.
"Fortunately, there’s no such agreement for a daughter’s boyfriend, so Hurwitz gets a treeeeeeee!!!”
The festive snap, also shared on Instagram by one of Matthew’s inner circle, shows the tree decorated with silver baubles and tinsel, along with a giant teddy bear and a pile of gift-wrapped presents situated by the window of the high rise luxury apartment.
Sources say Molly has been a “huge support” to the 50-year-old star who revealed in February he’d been “kicked out of therapy”, tweeting: “Easy guys, it was just one session. I’m back in therapy where I belong:).”
An insider revealed: “Molly has been seeing Matthew for months, they mix in the same circles and she’s originally from New York where they have spent time together.
“She has a very quirky sense of humour and they hit it off immediately.
"Molly is not interested in fame and she rarely parties, she’s been great for Matthew.
“They have kept the relationship a secret but things are getting more serious.
"They spent Christmas Day together with friends at his penthouse, exchanging gifts and watching Elf on his large cinema screen.”
The source added that friends have been keen to see Matthew settle down for years, including his former on-screen wife Courteney Cox, who has remained close to the actor and recently shared a selfie of them at lunch in LA.
“He has been trying to find a girlfriend for a long time and even tried out celebrity dating app Raya, but he was struggling to meet the right woman,” the source added.
Matthew’s last public girlfriend was actress Lizzie Caplan, with whom he dated from 2006 to 2012.
Back in November it was reported that Matthew was still in love with his Friends co-star Courteney and never got over her.
But new love Molly first hinted at their relationship in June, sharing a snap of the Friends apartment block in New York and referencing Matthew’s character Chandler Bing with the caption: “Could there be any more people taking photos at this random street corner?”

Molly, who works for LA-based Gravity Management, later posted a photo of her dog Carla in the hallway of his LA home wearing a Batman costume, as one friend quizzed: “First of all is that Bruce Wayne’s crib ?! Lol.”
An online bio on stage32.com, detailing Molly’s background in the entertainment business, reads: "Born, raised, and educated in NYC, Molly began her career in ICM Partners agency mailroom, which, yes, included actually delivering mail. Her favorite show is "Frasier", and her favorite movie is BEST IN SHOW.”
The Sun Online reached out to a representative for Matthew Perry and Molly Hurwitz for comment.
