But the show continues with a successful wedding of "Mondler" and unlike the show, Matthew is not yet ready to settle down. After breaking up with his girlfriend of six years, actress Lizzy Caplan, Matthew is back in the market.
He's not been rumored to be dating anyone and neither has announced anything about getting married. The strictly private actor is hiking all of his fan's anticipations and we want to see him getting hitched and start a happy family.
The 17 Again actor, split with his girlfriend Lizzy Caplan because he didn't want to get married and settle down with the beautiful actress.

"Matthew wasn't ready to make the full commitment so they split. During their last year of the relationship, they were going rocky and facing several problems."
