Luke Perry's Fiancee Wendy Madison Bauer Breaks Silence After His Death

Wendy Madison Bauer, the fiancee of the late actor Luke Perry, is speaking out for the first time since his tragic death earlier in the week.

The late actor’s engagement to Bauer was first revealed to the public after he passed away.

“I want to express my gratitude to everyone for the outpouring of love and support,” Bauer said in a statement to People. “The countless, heartwarming stories of Luke’s generosity and kindness have been a great source of solace during this difficult time.”

“The past 11½ years with Luke were the happiest years of my life, and I am grateful to have had that time with him,” she added. “I also want to thank his children, family, and friends for their love and support. We have found comfort in one another and in the knowledge that our lives were touched by an extraordinary man. He will be dearly missed.”

The couple kept their relationship private and only walked the red carpet together once, back in April 2017.
