Kathy Griffin Opens Up About Falling in Love With 23-Year-Old After Divorce

Kathy Griffin is opening up about an unexpected romance that came after her divorce.

In an essay for The Cut published Wednesday, December 31, the 65-year-old comedian revealed she “accidentally fell in love with a 23-year-old” after splitting from her most recent husband, Randy Bick.

“Because of his age, he didn’t have the usual sexism, misogyny, and biases that guys my age tend to have. He seemed to see me. I know that sounds really corny,” Griffin admitted. “Oh God, it sounds so lame! But I felt really comfortable with him, and I felt very content just hanging out.”

Despite the connection, Griffin acknowledged the romance “never could’ve lasted.”

“We both knew that. But it was nice to know that my heart could still feel like that in my 60s, and it was nice to have the universe show me a guy that I really got a kick out of but also respected. I thought he was smart. I thought he could roll in different worlds,” she wrote. “It sounds cliché, and maybe he was an old soul, but I don’t know, we just clicked. And that click thing? It doesn’t happen all that much. So even though there was a big age difference, I’m glad that we were able to capture it for a little while.”

Griffin also admitted the man was “too young” for her.
