Comedian and actress Nikki Glaser has opened up about her unconventional approach to romantic relationships during a candid conversation on the popular Call Her Daddy podcast. The 41-year-old entertainer, known for her sharp wit and hosting duties at the Golden Globes, revealed perspectives that challenge traditional relationship norms.
Unconventional Relationship Dynamics
During her appearance on Alex Cooper's podcast, Glaser made surprising revelations about her relationship with television producer Chris Convy, whom she first met in 2013. The comedian confessed that she "kind of likes" the idea of her boyfriend hooking up with other women, though she emphasized this arrangement is not reciprocal.
"In a relationship, I don't really care if my boyfriend were to hook up," Glaser explained to Cooper, as reported by multiple media outlets. "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 kind of like it."
Finding Excitement in Partner's Past
Glaser went further to describe how discussions about Convy's previous relationships actually serve as a form of foreplay for her. She detailed how early in their relationship, she would actively seek details about his romantic history.
"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," she revealed. "I would get revved up talking about it. It made me horny to think about him doing that with other girls."
Competitive Nature and Boundaries
The comedian attributed part of her perspective to what she described as her competitive nature. Glaser explained that she wants to be with someone whom other women find attractive, seeing this as validation of her choice.
"Maybe it's my competitive nature of 'I want a guy who other girls want,'" Glaser said. "It's just what I'm into, and I can't help it."
Despite her openness to physical encounters outside their relationship, Glaser has established clear boundaries. She emphasized that emotional connections would cross a line for her, while physical encounters without emotional attachment don't bother her as much.
"If he were to watch The Wire with her or do crossword puzzles, or send memes and stuff, I would be like, 'What the f*** are you doing? That's our thing,'" Glaser stated. "Emotional cheating would hurt me, but physical... I wouldn't care as much."
Practical Relationship Philosophy
Glaser revealed that she has occasionally encouraged Convy to seek attention elsewhere when she's too busy to be "really sexy," telling him to "go out and get some attention." She confirmed that her boyfriend has "done some stuff" within their established boundaries, though she didn't provide specific details.
Broader Views on Long-Term Relationships
Beyond her specific relationship dynamics, Glaser shared broader philosophical views about long-term partnerships during the podcast conversation. The comedian expressed skepticism about traditional romantic ideals, suggesting that all lasting relationships involve some degree of settling.
"You do not know that the person you are with is the best person for you," Glaser asserted. "There's too many people on this planet, you haven't met any of them. You never will. So you have to settle."
She elaborated on this perspective, rejecting the concept of soulmates while embracing a more pragmatic approach to love. "I don't believe in soulmates and I do believe you have to go like, you know what, 'This is the best I can do right now and I'm gonna just cash in my chips... I probably could do better, but who knows?'"
Realistic Expectations
Glaser applied this philosophy to her own relationship with Convy, expressing humility about her place in his life. She suggested that while she's important to him, she may not be his ultimate perfect match.
"I mean, I'm a love of his life," Glaser said. "I just think that he has many loves of his life, probably. And that there's probably a woman that is so much more compatible for him than me."
The comedian's candid revelations provide insight into how some public figures navigate modern relationships outside conventional boundaries. Her comments reflect evolving conversations about relationship structures, personal boundaries, and realistic expectations in long-term partnerships.
