Matt LeBlanc, who starred in Friends, split up with his longtime girlfriend Aurora Mulligan in 2020, but the news didn’t make headlines until years later. According to a close source close to the pair, they haven’t been “together in over a year,” according to MailOnline (via Dailymail).
“Matt and Aurora’s romance has run its course,” according to another insider who spoke to The Sun. It’s all been said and done. It’s a terrible shame, and Matt, like everyone else, has been devastated by the news.”
The source also mentioned the former couple’s age difference, saying that despite their age difference, they were “a really excellent match.” The informant then speculated that LeBlanc and his girlfriend’s breakup was due to their long-distance relationship.
“It was difficult for them when he revealed he was quitting Top Gear and taking on other things. “He’s primarily located in Los Angeles and traveled extensively when Aurora was working in the United Kingdom,” the source revealed.
On ‘Top Gear,’ Matt LeBlanc met his ex-girlfriend
On the set of BBC’s Top Gear, a non-fiction series involving automobile reviews and races, LeBlanc met his girlfriend Mulligan, who shares his passion for engines and automobiles. From 2016 through 2019, the actor co-hosted the show, which was executive produced by the 35-year-old Irish TV producer.
The couple avoided making appearances on each other’s Instagram pages to keep their romance hidden from prying eyes of the public. Despite keeping their relationship a secret, LeBlanc and his girlfriend were soon seen together in public at events including the 2017 Tribeca Film Festival in New York and the Hickstead Derby.
They were also seen out and about, notably at the London premiere of Top Gear’s 25th season, where they made a combined appearance. After working on Episodes and Top Gear, the host of The Graham Norton Show asked him if he had relocated to the United Kingdom.
“It’s half and half,” the actor said sheepishly. My partner and I share a flat here, but my home is in Los Angeles. I have to like it because I spend so much time here!”
Matt LeBlanc – Is He Married?
Outside of his role as Joey Tribbiani on Friends, LeBlanc has a reputation for being a womanizer. Prior to Mulligan, LeBlanc had been romantically involved with a number of other celebrities. In fact, he admitted that the only reason he became an actor was that he was pursuing a “beautiful girl.”
The actor dated actress and model Teri Copley for almost half a year during the start of his television career in 1989, and his next high-profile romance was with Almost Famous actress Kate Hudson, who was only seventeen years old at the time.
However, the romance did not endure long. LeBlanc began dating Melissa McKnight, a British-American model, in 1997. A year later, he proposed to his girlfriend.
Marina was born to the couple in 2004 after they married in 2003. In 2006, however, LeBlanc abruptly ended the marriage. According to People, LeBlanc became connected with Joey, a co-star from the Friends spin-off, and while McKnight hoped for a reconciliation, LeBlanc had other ideas and filed for divorce.
Soon after his divorce, LeBlanc began dating Andrea Anders, a co-star from Joey, and the two dated for eight years.
After he was caught cheating at a Halloween party in 2015, the relationship ended, though his agents disputed the adultery in a statement to E! News.
