During a March 25 appearance on “The View,” Chelsea Handler opened up about her dating life and why she’s recently shifted her focus to younger men.. The 51-year-old comedian addressed her relationship after the hosts, including Whoopi Goldberg and guest co-host Abby Huntsman, brought up her recent “hard launch” on social media. Handler, however, saw it differently.. “You said I hard-launched a relationship. I felt like that was a soft launch,” Handler joked, explaining that she had subtly included photos of her new partner in Instagram posts rather than putting him front and center. “I wasn’t proclaiming I was in love or this was my boyfriend.”. Handler then shared that her new relationship is already longer than many of her past ones.. “He’s 37 years old,” the comedian noted, per People Magazine. “I’ve always dated older guys, but then I turned 50, I’m like, ‘I think I’m going to go back the other way.’”.

The comedian recalled boldly asking him to lend her $1,000 while he was winning big.. He agreed without hesitation, and that spontaneous moment sparked their connection.

After reconnecting, he joined Handler on a Thanksgiving trip to Antarctica, and the two have since traveled together to places like Istanbul, Jamaica, and Finland.. Instagram | Chelsea Handler. Handler first hinted at the romance earlier this month through social media posts, and she later shared more details during an appearance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”.
