Jo Koy’s Grammy Red Carpet Move Proves He and Chelsea Handler Are the Endgame Couple of the Evening
Chelsea Handler appeared on the red carpet at the 64th Annual Grammy Awards alongside her beau, Jo Koy. Handler arrived at the ceremony as a first-time nominee for her comedy album, Evolution. While Koy isn’t nominated, he is playing the part of a dutiful date. His red carpet behavior has made Koy and Handler the endgame couple of the evening.
Chelsea Handler is nominated for her first Grammy award
Chelsea Handler might be best known for her work on TV, but she is attending the 64th Annual Grammy Awards as a nominee. She is competing against several big names in the Best Comedy Album category for her album, Evolution.
Handler explores everything from family, friendship, self-awareness, and therapy in the album. While this is Handler’s first Grammy nod, she is no stranger to awards shows. The Chelsea Lately star has been nominated for the People’s Choice Awards and the Gold Derby Awards in past years. She has yet to take home a top prize, though. Handler has yet to pick up an Emmy nod, despite spending years on television.
Jo Koy made fans swoon by helping Handler fix her hair
Koy made fans swoon with his red carpet behavior this year. The famed comedian is absolutely the best date a lady could ask for. Not only did he stand to pose for pictures with his love, but he also wanted to ensure she looked her very best.
Before Handler took some solo shots, Jo Koy jumped in and helped her fix her hair. The sweet gesture caught the attention of E! correspondents and fans at home. Following the photos, Koy and Handler headed into the venue.
Jo Koy and Chelsea Handler’s romance was in the works for a long time
Koy and Handler’s romance might not feel particularly new, but it is. The couple only went public on Instagram in September 2021. The pairing might not feel new because the duo has known each other for decades. In fact, Koy believes they harbored secret crushes on each other for years.
At the 2021 People’s Choice Awards, Handler discussed her relationship with E! News correspondent Laverne Cox. She told Cox that her constant teasing of Koy on Chelsea Lately might have been her way of flirting. She said, “He tells me I’ve been in love with him the whole time and didn’t know it. I’m choosing to believe that.” Koy regularly appeared as a guest on the show.
