Matthew Perry was in love with Friends co-star Courteney Cox
Matthew Perry, who played Chandler Bing in the hit US comedy series Friends, was reportedly head over heels for his on-screen wife Courteney Cox, who played Monica Gellar.
The actor has been tragically found dead after 'drowning in his jacuzzi' at his Los Angeles home, it's believed he drowned.
Chandler and Monica, who started as friends and ended up married, were last seen heading off to a suburban life when the show wrapped up in 2004.
After their characters fell in love following a one-night stand in London, they quickly became the show's power couple. However, rumours suggest that Matthew's feelings for Courteney may have extended beyond the screen.
Matthew is said to have had deep feelings for Courteney during their time on the show, while she tied the knot with her 'Scream' co-star David Arquette, from whom she split in October 2010.
Courteney has since found love with Snow Patrol guitarist Johnny McDaid, and they've been together since on-and-off since first getting together in 2013.
During a brief split from Johnny in 2015, Courteney reportedly turned to Matthew for support. A source told Perez Hilton at the time: "It's no surprise that Matthew was one of the first people Courteney called after Johnny left her."
"They've leaned on each other before. There isn't any pressure to put a label on it just yet, but they're excited to see where this might go."
Despite the rumours, Courtney got back together with Johnny and Matthew was in a relationship with Molly Hurwitz for two years before they split.
However, despite friends denying the claims, some sources say that Matthew's feelings for Courteney were still strong.
A source told US Weekly last year: "Matthew's always been in love with her. Matthew has never fully been able to get over her."
The pair have stayed close over the years, and the actress is sure to be heartbroken at the news of Matthew's sudden death at the age of 54.
No drugs were found at the scene and there are no signs of anything suspicious.
The Friends' official Twitter account confirmed the sad news as they posted: "We are devastated to learn of Matthew Perry’s passing. He was a true gift to us all. Our heart goes out to his family, loved ones, and all of his fans."
