Kathy Griffin has gone Instagram official with her new boyfriend, revealing a 43-year age gap. The comedian, 65, posted a photo of herself holding hands with a young man, captioning it: 'He's 22. Have at it, internet.'
Mixed Reactions From Fans
The comments section was divided. Some fans cheered her on, with one writing: 'He's 22? Perfect. Old enough to vote, young enough to think Olive Garden is fancy. Go have fun.' Another said: 'If he is opening the car door for you, keep him. More class at 22 than most men.'
However, not everyone was impressed. One user commented: 'It's not going to end well but you do you.' Another pointed out: 'If it were a 65+ year old man with a 22 year old woman, the comments would be very, very different.' Unfazed, Griffin replied in the comments: 'I AM DYING AT THESE COMMENTS.'
Griffin's Dating History
Griffin has been married twice: to Matt Moline from 2001 to 2006, and to Randy Bick from 2020 until their split last year. After her divorce, she turned to online dating on the advice of singer Sia. In a candid essay for The Cut last year, she revealed she 'accidentally fell in love' with a 23-year-old.
Reflecting on her dating life, Griffin wrote: 'I kind of am a cougar, which to me just means you have the freedom to choose the person that you want as opposed to the age bracket that society tells you is the only option for you.' She added that her younger ex 'made me feel sexy and special and smart and funny.'
