Selma Blair Posts Heartbreaking Tribute To ‘Oldest Boyfriend’ Matthew Perry

Matthew Perry’s death came as a shock to everyone, and some of his loved ones couldn’t wrap their head around why it happened. His colleagues and friends, like Rumer Willis, Olivia Munn, Mira Sorvino, and Selma Blair, were left distraught as they paid their tributes to the late star. However, for Selma, it seems the loss is very personal as she refers to Matthew Perry as her “oldest boyfriend” whom she loved “unconditionally.”

In a recent interview she had with Today about her latest project—an adaptive clothing line, Selma revealed she had finally found balance with living with multiple sclerosis, which makes it sad that a few days later, the star becomes heartbroken hearing about Perry’s death.
