What's Inside?

- Glaser connects her feelings to curiosity and desire, revealing how discussing past relationships becomes a form of foreplay.
Nikki Glaser is once again making headlines, this time with a brutally honest take on relationships that few public figures would dare to share so openly. Speaking on a recent episode of the Call Her Daddy podcast, the comedian admitted she “kinda likes it” when her partner hooks up with other women. It is not a throwaway comment or a joke built for shock value. Instead, it feels like a window into how she processes attraction, jealousy, and emotional boundaries in a long-term relationship.
Who is Chris Convy? Nikki Glaser’s Relationship Explained
To understand the context of Nikki Glaser’s remarks, it helps to know who Chris Convy is and how their relationship took shape. The two first crossed paths in 2013 while working on Nikki & Sara Live, her MTV talk show where Convy served as a producer.
Their connection was not instant in the traditional sense. Glaser has described it as a slow burn, one where she admired him from a distance before anything romantic took hold. In a 2022 interview, she recalled, “We met in New York, I had a show on MTV, it was my first TV show. He was a producer on the show, and he was from St. Louis, where I was from,” adding that she had a quiet crush that mirrored a sitcom dynamic. “I just had a crush from afar, which was so fun because I was just pining for him constantly. It was very Jim and Pam [characters on NBC’s The Office]. I was Jim, and he had no idea.”
That early dynamic set the tone for a relationship that would evolve over time, often in unconventional ways.
Nikki Glaser on Chris Convy: A Relationship Without Typical Rules
Nikki Glaser’s latest revelation came during her appearance on the Call Her Daddy podcast, where she spoke openly about her views on fidelity and attraction. Her perspective stands out not because it seeks attention, but because it feels deeply personal and carefully thought through.
“In a relationship, I don’t really care if my boyfriend were to hook up,” she shared. “But that is not a two-way street. I’m not someone who likes to hook up when I’m in a relationship. I don’t really care about that. But I don’t care if someone else were to. In fact, I kinda like it.”
She went on to explain how this mindset has roots in her early curiosity about Convy’s past. “Like, ‘How did you first know you liked each other?’ I loved that,” Glaser said, adding that hearing those stories sparked something unexpected. “So, I’d ask about all of his girlfriends or anyone he had hooked up with, all the details about it and it would really be like a foreplay for me. I would get revved up talking about it.”
Her honesty lands somewhere between vulnerable and provocative, but it also reflects a clear distinction she draws between physical and emotional intimacy.
Nikki Glaser and Chris Convy: There’s Still Some Boundaries
While Nikki Glaser appears relaxed about certain aspects of physical relationships, she is firm about where she draws the line. For her, emotional connection carries far more weight than a fleeting encounter.
“If a guy has a sexual connection with a girl and he was to use protection and just have sex for a night, I literally wouldn’t care if my husband did that,” she explained.
Then came the contrast that defines her boundary: “I don’t know why. If he were to watch ‘The Wire’ with her or do crosswords puzzles, or send memes and stuff, I’d be like, ‘What the f–k are you doing? That’s our thing.’”
That distinction reveals a deeper truth about how she values relationships. Physical acts may come and go, but shared routines, inside jokes, and emotional intimacy form the core of what she protects.
“The ‘Not Safe with Nikki Glaser’ alum added, “Emotional cheating would hurt me.”
Nikki Glaser and Chris Convy: A Decade of Ups and Downs
The relationship between Glaser and Convy has never followed a straight line. Over more than a decade, they have broken up and reunited multiple times, navigating personal growth along the way.
As she admitted during an appearance on The Howard Stern Show in 2024, “I think the off and on is because committing to anything forever, I think that forever makes me think of no other adventures. It’s kind of admitting defeat, it’s settled.”
She added, “Our breaks have gone from maybe two days to one was three years long,” offering a glimpse into the scale of their separations.
Still, the relationship endured. Both have continued to work together professionally, with Convy producing projects like Not Safe with Nikki Glaser and Nikki Glaser: Someday You’ll Die. His career behind the scenes has been equally notable, with multiple Emmy nominations and a win in 2025 for producing a Mark Twain Prize event honoring Conan O’Brien.
Their bond is also rooted in shared sobriety, something Glaser has said played a crucial role early on. It gave them common ground at a time when she was redefining her life and priorities.
Despite the breakups, the doubts, and the unconventional boundaries, they remain together today. Glaser even referenced Convy during her hosting stint on Saturday Night Live, joking about his looks in a way that only someone deeply comfortable in their relationship could.
What emerges from all of this is not a perfect love story, but a real one. It bends, it resets, it questions itself. And maybe that is the point. In a world that often demands neat definitions of romance, Nikki Glaser and Chris Convy seem content writing their own, even if it does not always make sense to everyone else.
