Keith Morrison is Matthew Perry's stepfather. Matthew Perry's mother, Suzanne Morrison (née Langford), married Keith Morrison in 1981 after divorcing Perry's biological father, John Bennett Perry, when Matthew was less than a year old. Keith, a Canadian broadcast journalist known for his long tenure as a Dateline NBC correspondent since 1995, helped raise Matthew in Ottawa, Ontario, alongside Suzanne and their four children: Caitlin, Emily, Will, and Madeline.
Keith described a close relationship with Matthew, stating he never tried to replace his biological father but was always there for him. Following Matthew's death in 2023, Keith has spoken publicly about their bond and the family's ongoing grief, including recent comments on legal proceedings related to the actor's passing.
