Comedian and television host Nikki Glaser has offered one of her most candid relationship revelations yet, explaining that she “kinda likes it” when her long‑term boyfriend Chris Convy has casual encounters with other people, provided there is no emotional involvement.

Speaking on a recent episode of the Call Her Daddy podcast, Glaser said her perspective on monogamy is unconventional. She made clear that, for her, physical intimacy between Convy and others without an emotional connection is something she is comfortable with and, in certain cases, finds arousing.

“In a relationship I do not really care if my boyfriend were to hook up,” Glaser said during the discussion, emphasising that her view applies only one‑way. She stressed that she personally would not pursue hookups with others while committed to Convy.

Glaser, who hosts Not Safe with Nikki Glaser and regularly appears on television and comedy stages, said she used to ask Convy about his past girlfriends and early relationships because talking about previous encounters increased her excitement. After a while, however, she said those stories became repetitive and she encouraged him to have new experiences with others.

The comedian explained that if Convy were to be intimate with another woman so long as that was purely physical, without emotional connection, she “literally would not care”. She drew a clear line against emotional infidelity, saying any deep emotional involvement would hurt her feelings and cross a boundary she could not accept.

Glaser also said that Convy must be clear with any partner he might engage with, making sure they understand the defined limits of their arrangement, and that kissing and other affection beyond the physical encounter is off limits.

The couple have an on‑off relationship that began in 2013 and has weathered multiple break‑ups and reunions over the years. Glaser has previously spoken openly about being “terrible at committing to anything forever”, a mindset that has played into their dynamic.

Despite the unusual nature of her views, Glaser said the arrangement works for her so long as there is honesty and clear communication. Emotional cheating, she said emphatically, would be the true deal‑breaker, not the physical act itself.
