Chelsea Handler Weighs in on Ralph Fiennes Romance Rumors After Leaving Oscars Party Together

Chelsea Handler is weighing in on those buzzy Ralph Fiennes rumors.

The comedian, 50, was photographed exiting the Vanity Fair Oscar party on Sunday, March 2 arm-in-arm with Fiennes, 62. This set the internet ablaze with speculation that the pair could be romantically linked.

Handler, though, revealed to Entertainment Tonight that "all that happened" between her and the Conclave actor after the awards show was they "went from one party to another party." She also emphasized that it was not just the two of them — they were "with a group of people."

"I don't think Ralph Fiennes is marriage material," she also told the outlet. "And I don't think I'm marriage material."

Given that shared trait, she acknowledged that they "might be a good pairing in that sense," but still, "I don't think either one of us is getting married."

Before the photos from late Sunday night circulated and caused a buzz, Handler had some fun with Fiennes while she hosted the 2025 Critics Choice Awards. In between awards during the Feb. 7 ceremony, the comedian praised Nicole Kidman's Babygirl as "one of my favorite movies of the year" and said it had "inspired me to hire a new sexy intern."

She was then handed a full glass of milk, referencing one of the movie's unforgettable scenes, and began to drink it, while Fiennes encouraged her. "Good girl. Good girl. Good girl," he said, repeating Harris Dickinson's line from the film.

Hours after the Oscars, Handler revealed on The Jamie Kern Lima Show that she was, in fact, seeing someone she was "very attracted to" who she'd been involved with for "nine months."

"I have someone that I'm seeing now that I'm very attracted to and that I like having sex with, and so that's a really good like nice little thing I have going," she said in PEOPLE's exclusive clip from the March 4 podcast episode.

She noted that she doesn't consider herself a "relationship person," though, so neither her current partner nor her previous partners have been "serious."

"I think of myself as a purpose person," she said. "Like my purpose is here, to be here to have conversations like the one we're having right now, to infuse people with optimism, to be there for women, that is my purpose in this life, whether they're more lives or not."

Handler continued, "All I know is I know what I'm supposed to be doing, and any man that's in my life is not the main character. That's a side relationship, and I love them, and I want to respect everybody, but that's not my main M.O. in life. I'm not that kind of person."
