Chelsea Handler and Jo Koy recorded a video they had planned to share on their one-year anniversary. But upon posting it to Instagram, the comedians revealed they have broken up.
This wasn’t how Chelsea Handler and Jo Koy expected to celebrate their one-year anniversary.
Posting a video they had recorded ahead of the major milestone on Instagram on July 18, the former Chelsea Lately host revealed they have “decided together that it is best for us to take a break from our relationship right now.”
Handler thanked her fans for the love and support she and Koy received during their time together. “I know many of you were invested in our love, and I wanted to express to you how much that meant to both of us,” she wrote. “How much it still means. And how much I now believe in love for each one of us.”
Handler, 47, and Koy, 51, go way back. Koy frequently appeared on Chelsea Lately, which ran from 2007 to 2014. While they hit it off, the two kept their relationship platonic. And being single was perfectly fine with Handler. As she told E! News for her cover story earlier this year, she was happy being “an emblem of a single woman with no children, to show other women that they don’t have to have children or a husband to have it all.
“I thought, ‘Oh, I’m just not getting that,'” she said. “‘That’s okay. I have my family, I have my friends, I’m set. I don’t have to worry about finding love.'”
