Nikki Glaser is opening up more about her VERY unconventional relationship!
The stand-up comedian appeared on Wednesday’s episode of the Call Her Daddy podcast, where she opened up to Alex Cooper about all things love, sex, and monogamy – or lack thereof! The Golden Globes host started off by noting she and her longtime on-again, off-again boyfriend Chris Convy met when she was just 29 years old, and in the 12 years since, they’ve had several breaks where they’ve both had “flings” with other people. She reasoned:
“Can we just put this on hold and like, and if we’re meant to be, come together because we always do when we haven’t found anyone else or there isn’t anything better? I just feel like I would like to be in a relationship that I could call off whenever I want, take a break and not have to keep in touch all the time and talk.”
But even when they ARE on, Nikki gives her man a LOT of leeway:
“In a relationship, I don’t really care if my boyfriend were to hook up. But that is not a two-way street, like 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. It’s a problem, I think.”
Uhhhh, that’s certainly a unique arrangement! But we’re not here to kink shame!

On whether the 41-year-old still believes “commitment” is “admitting defeat,” like she’s said in the past, she dished:
“No, I don’t feel that way anymore. I mean, innately it is settling. You do not know if the person you are with is the best person for you. There’s too many people on this planet, you haven’t met everyone, you never will, so you have to settle. There could be someone better for you, and statistically, there probably is, you know? The odds that you met the person out of eight billion people on the planet that’s best for you are kind of low.”
She noted any given person probably does end up with someone in the “top 10 percent of people who are most compatible” with them, but admitted she doesn’t believe in “soulmates.”
“I believe you have to go, like, ‘You know what? This is the best I can do right now and I’m going to just cash in my chips because I probably could do better, but who knows?’”
The comedian revealed Chris “totally understands” her train of thought and that she believes there’s “someone better for him, too” — who she wouldn’t try to keep him from if he did meet someday! She added she doesn’t believe she’s “the” love of his life, but “a” love of his life.
So honest!
Alex pressed Nikki about whether this is a sign of an “evolved and mature” human, or a result of her “dark” comedy style:
“I think it’s both, and I want to be clear, it is not ‘pick me.’ Because this comes off ‘pick me’ of, like, ‘I don’t care if my boyfriend f**ks another girl, I’m cool with it, cheat on me.’ I know how lame it comes across. I sometimes don’t like to tell guys about this thing that I have.”
She continued:
“This is separate from the soulmate thing — if a guy has a sexual connection with a girl, and he was to use protection, and just have sex with her for a night, I literally wouldn’t care if my husband did that. I don’t know why.”
However, there are boundaries she wouldn’t want crossed:
“If he were to, like, watch The Wire with her, or do crossword puzzles, or text and send memes and stuff, I would be like, ‘What the f**k are you doing? That’s our thing.’ Emotional cheating would hurt me, but physical — I kind of just feel like I understand how sex is for men most of the time outside of relationships. It’s just kind of transactional and it’s, like, they just want a n**. It’s not like, ‘I want to spend the rest of my life with this woman,’ so I just wouldn’t care as much.”
The comedian also clarified on the “emotional” front, she would just want to be informed because she would understand if her man was drawn to someone else. She joked:
“If you want to have sex with someone else, also tell me about it, because I want to see what she looks like and ask you about it.”
