Chelsea Handler and Jo Koy Split After Less Than 1 Year of Dating: ‘Please Continue to Root for the Both of Us’

It’s over. After less than a year of dating and almost fifteen years of friendship, Chelsea Handler and Jo Koy have called it quits.

“It is with a heavy heart to announce that we have decided together that it is best for us to take a break from our relationship right now,” Handler, 47,  via Instagram on Monday

The New Jersey native went on to pen an open letter to Koy, 45, expressing how much their relationship changed her.

Handler and Koy began dating in September 2021 — fifteen years after their first meeting.

During an October 2021 episode of her “Dear Chelsea” podcast, Handler admitted that her feelings for Koy began almost two decades prior in 2007

Handler revealed that the two were combative while working together due to her inability to express how she really felt about the comedy writer.
