Nikki Glaser Shares Decade-Long Romance Full of Breakups: ‘We’ve Split Over 5 Times’
Nikki Glaser’s rise to Golden Globes host is a testament to her bold humor and unfiltered authenticity. The show, known for its relaxed and raucous atmosphere, marks a major milestone for the 40-year-old, who’s spent the last two decades building her comedy career. Her boyfriend, Chris Convy, has cheered her on from the beginning. Well… sort of. The couple of over a decade has broken up more than five times, leading fans to wonder what’s going on between the comedy star and producer.
Who is Nikki Glaser’s longtime boyfriend Chris Convy?
Convy has produced TV shows and specials since the early 2000s, starting with the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards. Since then, his projects have included Nickelodeon’s Kids Choice Awards, The Little Mermaid Live!, and 2023’s Adam Sandler: The Kennedy Center Mark Twain Prize for American Humor. Glaser met Convy while they worked on her 2013 MTV show Nikki & Sara Live. Since then, the St. Louis natives have parted ways and reunited more than most fans can count.
In May 2024, Glaser told Graham Bensinger that she “fell in love from afar” before they first got together. Since then, Convy has worked with Glaser on several of her shows and specials, including 2022’s Welcome Home Nikki Glaser and 2016’s Not Safe with Nikki Glaser. The latter resulted in one of their many breakups.
She told Buffalo News, “It might be pessimistic or not a great way to look at things always, but I was prepared to lose [Not Safe] at some point, just like I was prepared to lose my boyfriend. Most relationships don’t last, and most TV shows don’t last. It softens the brunt when those things blow up.”
Glaser went so far as to encourage Convy to explore other relationships. She told Bensinger, “I wouldn’t mind if [he] had a little fling with someone else — not like emotional. Even if she’s hotter than me or looks different than me; I don’t really care what she looks like.”
Nikki Glaser’s closest moment to marriage
Glaser and Convy nearly took the next step in 2020. Both moved back to St. Louis to film Welcome Home Nikki Glaser, the comedian’s reality show about living at home with her parents during the COVID-19 pandemic. Feeling more grounded in her hometown might’ve inspired more serious feelings. On her show, Glaser divulged, “I want so badly to be able to say, ‘Let’s just f***ing do it and get married.’ We’ve been doing this off and on for eight years. Like, what are we doing?”
However, as the pandemic subsided, Glaser moved back to LA, acknowledging that it was much better for her career. She and Convy did stay together and continue dating to this day. Throughout their breakups, Glaser has admitted to briefly dating radio personality Bobby Bones and fellow comedians Mike Recine and Dan Soders.
