keywordartis.blogspot.com

Raya is far from your average dating app.

Officially launched in 2015, Raya — billed as an “online membership-based community for dating, networking and making new friends” — quickly became known as the exclusive app for influencers, artists and A- through C-list celebrities looking to find love, a fling — or maybe even an agent.

Matthew Perry and Ben Affleck recently weathered some online scrutiny for being on the app, but they’re far from the only celebs to give the exclusive service a try.

Check out 15 celebrities who’ve signed up for Raya over the years. Happy swiping!

Matthew Perry found himself at the center of a minor controversy when TikTok user Kate Haralson released a video the “Friends” star sent to her after matching on Raya in May 2020.

Haralson, who was 19 when she matched with Perry, 51, told Page Six, “A lot of people were saying I’m a bully and mean for posting this, and it made me feel kind of bad, but at the same time, I feel like a lot of guys in Hollywood are talking to all these young girls and it’s something that I think a lot of people should be aware of.”

Ben Affleck
