Chelsea Handler covers the May issue of More magazine and shares some personal details surrounding her normally private love life.
The comedian dated hotelier Andre Balazs for nine months before they split last November. Handler revealed during the mag interview that they rekindled their romance in February.
“My boyfriend, Andre . . . We just got back together literally yesterday. We had dated for nine months, a long-distance relationship with all the stresses and traveling and running around. It wasn’t a real life; we weren’t living together.”
She continued, “So, André came to me yesterday and said, ‘I think we have to try to make this work again.’ And I agreed because we’re still madly in love, and he has done a lot of the things I’ve asked him to, and I’ve done a lot of the stuff he’s asked me to . . . It’s just a matter of . . . understanding each other better — getting to know what the other person’s needs are and not basing all your behavior on your own desire.”
How will they work out the distance this time with Chelsea is based in L.A. while Andre is in New York? It proved to be a hardship at times in the past.“Sometimes you don’t want to fly five hours to go see somebody, but sometimes that person needs you there. It’s that kind of selflessness and thoughtfulness.”
Will she marry? “I’ve never been proposed to, and I don’t know that that’s in my future . . . I don’t know that I’m marriage material. I don’t know if I would ever want to be someone’s wife. It makes breaking up much more complicated.”
