Julia Roberts breaks her silence following the death of ex-boyfriend Perry

On Monday, December 4, Julia Roberts, in an interview with Entertainment Tonight, expressed her sadness for the first time since the death of Matthew Perry, with whom she had a brief affair in the 90s. The actress emphasized how important it is to appreciate what you have and move forward.

"I have nothing but good feelings... A sudden death like this is always heartbreaking. I think it helps us all to just appreciate what we have and continue to move in a positive direction as best we can," she said.

Matthew Perry met Julia Roberts when she was offered a guest role in an episode of Friends. At the time, the actress only agreed to do it if she could be a part of Perry's story. The relationship between Julia Roberts and Matthew Perry lasted about three months. Perry's death occurred on the same day as Julia Roberts' 56th birthday.
