Comedian Chelsea Handler said she has little interest in marriage or long-term commitment, calling the institution “outdated” during a recent podcast appearance.
Ms. Handler, 51, made the remarks during a recent episode of the Angie Martinez IRL podcast, where she said she views marriage as “a very patriarchal thing” and that wives are “kind of like property a little bit.”
“I don’t care about marriage,” Ms. Handler said. “I just think marriage is so outdated. It’s just a really silly idea.”
The “Chelsea Lately” host also said she prefers casual relationships over serious ones, adding that personal freedom is her top priority. “My whole vibe is about freedom,” she said. “I love the idea that I don’t have to check in with anybody about anything I do.”
Ms. Handler acknowledged, however, that she has not ruled out marriage entirely, joking that she would probably be “hypocritical” if she eventually went through with it after years of publicly opposing the idea.
She also revealed she is currently seeing someone she calls “Cowboy,” a younger man she met at a blackjack table in Las Vegas, according to Complex.
