Chelsea Handler Isn't 'Marriage Material,' Rekindles Romance Anyway
Chelsea Handler revived her romance with boyfriend Andre Balazs despite the fact that the two may never get married.
Chelsea Handler's return to 55-year-old boyfriend Andre Balasz in February came after the two split because of a distance issues. Just because they're back together doesn't mean the 37-year-old "Chelsea Lately" host will be getting married anytime soon, however.
"I've never been proposed to, and I don't know that [marriage is] in my future," the comedienne told More magazine. "I don't know that I'm marriage material."
Despite being "madly in love" with the multimillionaire hotelier, Handler claimed that the two could remain boyfriend and girlfriend forever- in fact, she may prefer things that way.
"I don't know if I would ever want to be someone's wife," she admitted. "It makes breaking up much more complicated."
Balazs certainly didn't want to give his Chelsea up, even though the two had only dated for nine months, ending things in November of 2011. The "stresses and traveling" involved in a long-distance relationship- she lives in Los Angeles, while he is based in New York- broke them up, but he was determined for them to get back together.
"Andre came to me yesterday and said, 'I think we have to try to make this work again,'" Handler revealed. "And I agreed because we're still madly in love."
"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," she added.
Although Handler is now reconciled with Balazs in a long-term relationship, it doesn't necessarily mean the two will stay together. In the past, the television host has been in several long-term stints with boyfriends, but they all ended.
She dated Ted Harbert, who managed E! Entertainment Television, from 2006 to 2010- the pair broke up in January of that year. Next, she was linked to Animal Planet star Dave Salmoni about six months later. In September of 2010, she revealed that the two had broken up.
After "casually" dating rapper 50 Cent, she landed Balazs in April of 2011. Though she revealed details of their relationship for the interview with More magazine, she previously stated that she attempts to keep things private because he has children.
