LAS VEGAS — Comedian Chelsea Handler revealed she is dating a man 14 years younger than her whom she met at a Las Vegas casino. The 51-year-old made the disclosure in a podcast interview.

Handler said she does not feel anything about the age gap between her and the man she is seeing. She said she initially was not looking to date someone younger.

"When I was young, 20s, 30s, I always dated older guys," Handler said in the interview. "I always dated 40-year-olds when I was 20, 50-year-olds when I was 30."

She said that when she turned 40 she began rethinking her pattern of dating older men and decided she did not want to date 60-year-olds. "Now I'm heading in the opposite direction because I'm too hot to be dating a 65-year-old," she said.

"I don't work this hard on myself and take such good care of myself so that I can't have fun and, you know, have a good time," she said. "Once I got to know the man I'm seeing better, that age thing went out the window."

She said her whole vibe is about freedom. "I like traveling a lot," she said. "I like hooking up with guys. I don't like to get too serious. I don't want someone in my space all the time."

Handler said she views marriage as outdated. "Since I've bemoaned marriage my whole entire public life, I would be really hypocritical for me to get married, which means I'll probably do it," she said.

"I'm not interested in long-term commitments, to work, to people, to anything. I am a free spirit and I want to remain and soar like an eagle," she said.

Other celebrities have also spoken about age gaps in relationships. Actress Tracee Ellis Ross said she dates younger men because men her age are often steeped in toxic masculinity.

"And anything that starts to smell of that for me — I did enough of it where I was controlled and felt like I was a possession or a prize — I just have no interest in it. And I will not do it again," Ross said.
