All About Nikki Glaser’s Boyfriend & Their Longtime Romance
One of the most booked and busy female comedians of recent years, Nikki Glaser is in the prime of her career. Having tried her hand at the entertainment industry since she was 18, the 40-year-old has officially made it.
With multiple comedy specials to her name and even a Golden Globes hosting job, Glaser has become a fixture in the modern scene. Over the years, she has also worked on several television shows, and for that, she has had help from her partner, Chris Convy.
The two have been able to intertwine their romantic and professional connection. To learn more about Convy and their on-again-off-again-on-again romance, scroll down below!
Who is Nikki Glaser’s boyfriend?
Chris Convy is Glaser’s long-term boyfriend and collaborator. They both hail from St. Louis and have enjoyed living together in their home state of Missouri.
When they moved back during the COVID-19 pandemic, they worked on Welcome Home Nikki Glaser. While in Missouri, Glaser wanted to get married. In the finale, she exclaimed, “I want so badly to be able to say, ‘Let’s just f**king do it and get married.’ We’ve been doing this off and on for eight years. Like, what are we doing?”
An engagement didn’t follow that segment, but Convy did go down on one knee — to ask her to be his emergency contact. This was enough for Glaser.
Their relationship hasn’t always been super conventional as Glaser previously mentioned that she was open to being polyamorous. In an interview with Graham Bensinger, Glaser said, “I’m a weirdo, and I like my boyfriend to at least entertain the idea of being with other women or be with them.”
The comedian continued that she entertained the idea of Convy sleeping with another woman. She did, however, draw the line at wanting to be with someone romantically. “I wouldn’t mind if [he] had a little fling with someone else, not like emotional,” she explained. “Even if she’s hotter than me or looks different than me, I don’t really care what she looks like.”
In 2022, she decided she wanted to be monogamous from then onward.
How did Nikki & Chris meet?
They met on the set of Glaser’s short-lived MTV show Nikki & Sara Live. This was the comedian’s first TV show, and she was excited to meet another person from her hometown of St. Louis. Quickly, the two noticed that they had more in common than just the city they grew up in and became romantically intertwined.
However, there was a snag that made them not get together in the beginning. Glazer assumed that he was a heavy drinker because he was so confident. This was a problem for her as she had quit drinking the year prior to meeting him and didn’t want to have a relationship with someone like that.
Yet, when it was finally revealed that he didn’t drink, her crush on him grew. She opened up to Bensinger and said that she “fell in love from afar.”
She continued, “I just had a crush from afar which was so fun because I was just pining for him constantly.” Glazer then compared the situation to The Office. “It was very Jim and Pam, I was Jim, and he had no idea,” she said.
What does Chris do for a living?
Just like Glaser, Convy is also in the entertainment business. But, instead of being on screen, he’s behind it.
Convy is a producer. He started his career in 2007 with the MTV Video Music Awards. Since then, he has done many projects for MTV and beyond. Some of his notable work has been on The Little Mermaid Live! and 2023’s Adam Sandler: The Kennedy Center Mark Twain Prize for American Humor.
Why did they break up in the past?
Glaser has often spoken about how her relationship with Convy has been an on-off relationship throughout the years. Having been together for over a decade, the two have had their fair share of arguments. From realizing most relationships don’t last forever to different views on certain aspects, they have had their issues.
Their breakup spree started when they ended things after Glaser’s project Not Safe with Nikki Glaser was canceled after one season.
One thing they couldn’t agree on in the past was Glaser’s tendencies to air out her grievances on her podcast, The Nikki Glaser Podcast, instead of coming directly to him with her complaints.
Glaser candidly shared why she did this on The Howard Stern Show in May 2024. “Not because I thought he won’t hear them, but they would just came out naturally under the guise of “it’s comedy!” she explained. “He eventually heard them and go I don’t recognize who this person is.”
The FBoy Island host then even divulged, “He had every reason to break up with me because it was jarring to him because I was just lying all the time.” She added, “He really got me to stop lying, I’m better at it I’m not perfect at it because I still fear abandonment, so there’s some issues in our relationship where I fear he’s going to be mad at me.”
