Two Higgs doublets models with a scalar potential that breaks electroweak symmetry spontaneously can have either one or two local minima. While potentials with one minimum can have a decoupling regime where all the new scalars are heavy, we show that, for potentials with $two$ local minima, the masses of all the scalars are bounded if the dimensionless quartic couplings obey perturbativity constraints.
