Chelsea Handler Praises Boyfriend Jo Koy: ‘Never Settle’

Chelsea Handler raved over her partner, Jo Koy, on social media, saying that he had restored her confidence in men.

“Do you know how hot it is to have a man be turned on by my honesty, strength, and confidence?” Handler, 46, captioned photos of her and Koy, 50, via Instagram on Sunday, November 14. “Someone who loves the fact that I’m not going to take anyone’s s–t and isn’t intimidated or emasculated by my fierceness?” jo has renewed my faith in men” Handler captioned one album of the couple’s images.

The former Chelsea Lately presenter then moved to Instagram to provide some love advice with her fans, reminding those still on the hunt for “their person” to be true to themselves and “never settle.”

“For everyone who is still looking for their person, do not adjust who you are or make yourself smaller to find them. Be patient and never settle for anything less than you deserve. Your person is coming and sometimes—they’ve been standing in front of you the whole time,” Handler added.

According to Us Weekly, the former “Chelsea Lately” anchor and Koy, 50, had been close friends for more than 15 years until they chose to make their relationship serious. From 2007 through 2014, he was a regular guest on her old late-night show.

According to one episode of the “Dear Chelsea” podcast, the Washington resident and Handler reunited when he wanted a blurb for his new book, and the relationship evolved “organically” from there.

Handler’s friends and fans expressed their joy in response to the touching message, with Selma Blair writing: “I am so happy for you. So.”

“U two are adorable,” Katie Couric commented. “So happy for you!” wrote Padma Lakshmi. “Beautifully put!!!!!” Jordana Brewster responded. “I LOVE LOVE THIS and LOVE YOU and so madly happy for you,” Freida Pinto wrote. “I love love love this. You two!!” commented Sophia Bush. “You two,” Bobby Berk posted.

Handler isn’t the first person to publicly declare her affection for Koy. During an appearance on “The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon” in October, she discussed her relationship.

Her sentiments are definitely reciprocated, as Koy stated during an interview on “Good Morning Washington” the following month that he is over over heels in love with her.

“I love her, man. She’s amazing. She’s a boss. She’s incredible,” Koy told Good Morning Washington in October. “Nothing better than to be in love with someone that you have been friends with for a long time. She’s got my back, and I’ve always had hers. … It just feels good to finally find love and it’s with a person I’ve loved for a long time.”

Handler and Koy, who have been friends for over 20 years and apparently started dating during the summer, made their relationship Instagram public in September, with the comic uploading a snapshot of the two kissing.

Handler expressed her happiness to be dating Koy on Instagram the same month, posting a snapshot of herself with the caption: “Just sitting here in Mallorca thinking about how grateful I am to have so many people that I love in my life, to live the life I do and to be going on tour doing what I love. And that I’m finally in love, with the best kind of guy there is. There is hope for everyone! That kind of stuff.”

Since then, the duo has put their love on the road with their individual comedy shows — Handler’s Vaccinated and Horny and Koy’s Just Kidding, respectively.

Handler and Koy originally ignited dating rumors in August when they were seen showing off a lot of PDA at a Los Angeles Dodgers game.

On Sunday, hours after Handler’s effusive homage, Koy revealed that he and his sweetheart had reconnected on his Instagram Story. They spend the most of their weekends away on different standup comedy tours, but they rejoin during the week.

In one video, the comic exclaimed, “Look who I’m with,” before turning the camera to reveal his girlfriend was in the car with him.

Another video showed them enjoying espresso martinis and seeming quite cheerful. Handler remarked, “Look who found each other.” With a big grin on his face, Koy said, “Together again.”
