Nikki Glaser Explains Why She's Comfortable With Her Boyfriend Seeing Other Women

Nikki Glaser has opened up about her relationship and shared a perspective that many people might not expect. She said in a recent interview that she does not feel bothered by the idea of her long-term boyfriend being involved with other women, and even admitted that she finds it appealing in some ways.

The comedian, now 41, has been in an on-and-off relationship with TV producer Chris Convy since 2013. Over the years, the two have broken up and gotten back together more than once, which has shaped how she views relationships.

They first met while working together on her MTV show Nikki & Sara Live in New York. Since then, Convy has also given her freedom to speak openly about their relationship in her comedy, as long as it fits her style and lands well with audiences.

Glaser has spoken about her views on relationships before, and the topic has come up in several interviews. In 2023, she discussed non-monogamy with Gwyneth Paltrow during an episode of The Goop Podcast.

"I guess I'm just confident in like, I'm a pretty good person to date. When it comes to my relationship, I just don't have jealousy over him getting close to other women."

In an earlier conversation with Graham Bensinger in 2022, she also mentioned that she was open to the idea of her partner at least considering connections with other women, even if it was just a thought.

"I want things that other people want. I wouldn't mind if [he] had a little fling with someone else… Everyone has their own kinky thing. My thing is, I don't mind that," she admitted.

She returned to the topic again more recently while appearing on Alex Cooper’s Call Her Daddy podcast, where she explained her mindset in more detail.

"In a relationship, I don't really care if my boyfriend were to hook up," the comedian said, describing how she approaches relationships differently from what many might expect.

"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."

While talking to Cooper, she shared that before dating Convy, she did not have much experience with long-term relationships. Because of that, she became curious about his past and often asked him questions about previous partners and experiences.

"It would make me horny to think about him doing that with other girls," she explained, describing how those conversations became part of her own interest and connection in the relationship.

"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 perspective is not completely uncommon. Research suggests that a growing number of people are open to exploring different relationship structures, including non-monogamy.

One survey by Hims found that around 61 percent of Americans said they would consider non-traditional relationship dynamics, while 32 percent said they prefer keeping some level of independence rather than full commitment.

The same research also highlighted generational differences. Younger people, especially those in Gen Z, were less likely to say they prefer strict monogamy, while older generations were more likely to favor traditional relationship structures.

Although Glaser did not go into full detail about what her partner has done while with other women, she did hint at some of those experiences during her podcast appearance.

She said: "He's done some stuff. He probably wouldn't appreciate me elaborating on that." "There have been some interesting things that were fun for me to hear about and experience, and fun for him too."

Even with her open attitude, Glaser made it clear that there are still boundaries in place. She explained that she is drawn to men who are desirable to others, but she still expects honesty and respect in those situations.

She mentioned having specific rules, including a no-kissing policy with other women. She also wants her partner to be upfront with anyone else involved so that everyone understands the situation clearly.

"I was very careful to always let the girl know you have a girlfriend and she's choosing this. Let her know that I'm OK with it."

Alongside these personal insights, Glaser is continuing her work in entertainment. She is set to return to television with her new special, Nikki Glaser: Good Girl.

The show is scheduled to premiere on Hulu on April 24, marking another step in her career as she continues to share both her comedy and personal experiences with audiences.

Her openness about relationships has become part of her public persona, often blending into her stand-up material and interviews.
