Our subsequent initial make-out session was in the back of a really messy Toyota (to think I’d spent all that money on fancy cars and here I was in the backseat of a tan Corolla),” he recalled.

Instead, it was texting, and saying things like, ‘How about Thursday night at seven?'”Perry and Caplan, now 41, would be spotted at a few events together in public, but otherwise stayed very private about their status during this time.
