The Truth About Matthew Perry’s Relationship With His Stepdad Keith Morrison

Keith Morrison became Matthew Perry’s stepfather after he married Suzanne Langford Perry in 1981. Due to Matthew’s natural charisma, the “Dateline” journalist said during a 2017 appearance on “Watch What Happens Live” that he did think that Matthew would be famous someday. 

“WWHL” host Andy Cohen dug a little deeper into their relationship, asking Morrison, “What’s the best perk about being Matthew’s stepdad?” Morrison had a quick response: “Where should I start? There are dozens of them. He’s really a very good guy.” 

Cohen tried to press Morrison to pick his favorite “Friend” besides Matthew, though the newsman demurred, perhaps staying loyal to Matthew as his number one. He did say that one of the most fabulous gifts he got from his stepson was a car, agreeing with Cohen that Matthew was “very thoughtful.”

On October 28, 2023, The Los Angeles Times reported that Matthew’s mother, Suzanne, and Keith Morrison had arrived at Matthew’s house a few hours after Matthew’s death was reported. Our condolences go out to them for their heart-breaking loss, as it’s clear from Morrison’s previous comments that he thought highly of his stepson.
