Here in the heart of LA, where the red carpet rolls out as often as the traffic on the 405, comedian Nikki Glaser is making waves with her sharp wit and no-holds-barred standup. But there’s one person who’s got the final say on her material - her boyfriend of 10 years, Chris Convy. Spotted at glitzy events from the Emmys afterparty at Hilex to the Grammy Awards at Crypto.com Arena, this duo is a fixture in Tinseltown’s social scene.
Nikki recently let us in on the golden rule Chris has set for her comedy act while chatting at the American Music Awards back on May 26. It’s simple but strict: keep it funny or keep it off the stage. If the jokes about their relationship land with the crowd, she’s got the green light to spill all the tea - but if they bomb, it’s a hard pass.
This dynamic isn’t just personal; it’s professional too. Chris isn’t just arm candy at Hollywood events - he’s Nikki’s creative producer, helping shape her rise in the industry with a keen eye for what pops. From the Vanity Fair Oscar Party in Beverly Hills to her gigs at Pasadena’s Ice House Comedy Club, their partnership is pure SoCal magic.
Nikki and Chris have been riding the relationship rollercoaster for a decade now, with their fair share of ups and downs. They met when Chris produced Nikki’s MTV talk show Nikki & Sara Live, sparking a connection that’s lasted through breakups and makeups. But through it all, their creative collab has been a game-changer for Nikki’s career.
“Chris is my secret weapon - he’s a creative genius who’s helped me glow up in this crazy industry,” Nikki told us. “He’s cool with me roasting him on stage as long as it’s a solid joke, and that freedom is everything to a comedian.”
That freedom was on full display during Nikki’s buzzed-about hosting stint at the Golden Globes earlier this year. With Chris in her corner, she nailed it - and she’s already locked in to host again next year. Nikki’s pumped to “raise the bar” and get even cozier with the audience, knowing they’re prepped for her signature roast style.
Of course, joking about your love life on stage isn’t always a laugh riot behind the scenes. Nikki admits there’s been tension in the past when she’s aired their dirty laundry publicly - whether on her podcast or during a set - before hashing it out with Chris. A candid chat on The Howard Stern Show in May 2024 revealed how those moments led to a split at one point, with Chris feeling blindsided by her words.
“It was tough for him to hear me vent in public under the guise of comedy,” Nikki confessed. She’s since worked on being more upfront with Chris, owning up to past fibs and fears of abandonment that strained their bond. It’s a raw, real side of their relationship that shows even in LA’s glitz, love takes work.
But with Chris’s blessing to roast away - as long as the punchlines hit - Nikki’s got the best of both worlds. He’s not just her partner but her biggest supporter, pushing her to shine brighter than the Hollywood sign. As they continue to navigate fame, comedy, and romance, this power couple proves that in SoCal, laughter might just be the ultimate love language.
