Chelsea Handler has admitted she’s having second thoughts about never getting married, as she admitted she is on the hunt for a British husband.
Last month, the comedian, 50, sparked romance rumours with British actor Ralph Fiennes, after the pair were spotted leaving the Vanity Fair Oscar Party laughing arm-in-arm.
However, she then appeared to shut down the speculation, while suggesting she wasn’t interested in getting serious with anyone.
Chelsea insisted to Entertainment Tonight that she and Ralph, 62, were only walking to another party together with another group of people and that’s ‘all that happened’.
Before she then admitted: ‘I don’t think Ralph Fiennes is marriage material. And I don’t think I’m marriage material. I don’t think either one of us is getting married.’
However, the stand-up star has now seemingly had a change of heart, telling HELLO! that she is ‘definitely looking for a husband’, with her preference being one from the UK to allow her to leave the States.

Clarifying her relationship status, she said: ‘I’m single at the moment, and very happy to be free. Although now, I could use a husband – a British on, specifically – because I need to get the hell out of my country. So, I’m going to recant that statement. I am definitely looking for a husband.
Chelsea’s last longterm relationship was with fellow comedian Jo Koy, while she’s also been linked to chef Bobby Flay, hotelier André Balazs, rapper 50 Cent, comedian David Alan Grier, and former Comcast Entertainment Group CEO Ted Harbert.
She admitted that her reluctance to tie the knot hasn’t been for lack of opportunity, with her having broken off two engagements in the past, but that she sees marriage as being like the ‘end of the party’.
She explained: ‘I say yes initially, and then I slowly break up with them right after the proposal; that’s happened twice. If I were to fall madly in love and marriage was on the table, I might try it.
‘But I always want the world to be full of possibilities and, to me, marriage means this is your only possibility. It’s like the end of the party and now you’re stuck with this person.’
Chelsea also opened up about facing criticism for her desire not to have children, calling it ‘ridiculous’ and insisting that she ‘shouldn’t be a parent’.
She said: ‘I don’t have that skill set and it’s not responsible to bring a child into the world if you’re not into that. So, to be pilloried because of my lack of desire for a child is ridiculous. I’m being responsible by not having a child.’
Appearing on Kylie Kelce’s podcast last month, Chelsea spoke more about her decision not to have kids, saying: ‘It’s so important to know if you have what it takes to be a mother.

‘I don’t have that. What I do have is a huge bandwidth, because I don’t have my own family to take care of.’
Her confirmation of her single status, comes after Chelsea previously confessed she’d been dating a mystery man for the past ‘nine months’ in February.
Speaking on The Jamie Kern Lima Show, the Critics’ Choice Awards host teased: ‘I have someone that I’m seeing now that I’m very attracted to and that I like having sex with, and so that’s a really good like nice little thing I have going’.
But she went on: ‘I don’t think any relationships that I’ve been in [have been] serious. I don’t think of myself as a relationship person. I think of myself as a purpose person.
‘Like my purpose is here, to be here to have conversations like the one we’re having right now, to infuse people with optimism, to be there for women, that is my purpose in this life, whether they’re more lives or not.’
Chelsea added: ‘All I know is I know what I’m supposed to be doing, and any man that’s in my life is not the main character. That’s a side relationship, and I love them, and I want to respect everybody, but that’s not my main M.O. in life. I’m not that kind of person.’
She previously got candid about the reason behind her 2022 split from ex-boyfriend Jo, 53, after almost a year of dating, admitting she’d been ‘really in love and happy,’ but had to call it quits due to their different values.

Opening up on her heartbreak in detail on the Armchair Expert podcast in February, she explained she’d ultimately decided to choose herself and not compromise her values or her future.
She said: ‘What I thought a mature healthy relationship and what he thought was a mature healthy relationship were two different things and I would have had to compromise everything I stand for and I wasn’t willing to do that.’
She called Jo’s expectations for her as his girlfriend were very ‘outdated, old-fashioned and not going to work,’ adding that it was obvious that they ‘had different ideas about togetherness.
She explained: ‘I felt like it was a decision between having a relationship and being full-on or choosing myself and my sanity – sanity is an overstatement – but I would have compromised my own value system.
Chelsea reflected on how their relationship changed her confidence level as well as her ability to be vulnerable and ‘accept love’.
She said: ‘The biggest takeaway from that relationship was A, that I was able to be in love again in a vulnerable, mature, healthy way and then when I realized it wasn’t going to work out I was able to end it in a healthy, mature way and not divulge all the stuff and the ugliness that may have happened in between because I didn’t want to focus on that.
The comedian said that she was ‘reminded of her strength and power of who she is’, during a time in which she had lost interest in her job.
