Matthew Perry bags Piper 2006-03-21

Matthew Perry is reportedly romancing actress Piper Perabo.

The former 'Friends' heartthrob is said to have enjoyed a string of dates with the stunning 'Coyote Ugly' star.

A source is quoted in Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper as saying: "They just clicked. They're both very low key and seem to enjoy the same things."

The relationship is reportedly Perry's first since splitting from fashion student Rachel Dunn last year.

After they broke up, it was revealed the hunky actor - who has publicly battled addiction to painkillers and alcohol and once admitted to taking up to 30 pills a day - promised his ex he would stay sober despite their split.

A source said at the time: "There was no drama involved in the break up, just a commitment by Matthew to stay focused on his sobriety."
