Chelsea Handler is once again setting the record straight on her dating life. After she was photographed leaving the Vanity Fair Oscars party clutching a cocktail and actor Ralph Fiennes’s arm, rumors began to swirl — were they dating? In love? Heading home to do some papal role play? The answer to all of the above is a hard no, according to Handler.
In a new interview, Handler told Entertainment Tonight that her relationship with the Conclave star is simply platonic. “Ralph Fiennes and I went from one party to another party with a group of people and that’s all that happened,” she said. “I don’t think Ralph Fiennes is marriage material and I don’t think I’m marriage material.” Party friend? Sure. Husband? Definitely not.
Handler isn’t a stranger to sharing her romantic escapades with the world. In her new book, I’ll Have What She’s Having, the comedian reminisces about the time she almost hooked up with former G=governor Andrew Cuomo during the pandemic, but instead of meeting up during her trip to New York, he ghosted her. “Mr. Cuomo stopped responding to my texts as soon as I arrived on the East Coast,” she wrote. I’m guessing he isn’t marriage material, either.
While Handler won’t be walking down the aisle anytime soon, she does appear to be single and on the prowl. She told ET that she’s looking for a decent person who’s honest, caring, and stands up for what they believe is right. Aren’t we all?
