In a world of traditional celebrity romances, comedian Nikki Glaser has never been one to follow the status quo. In a candid interview on the Call Her Daddy podcast released on Wednesday, April 8, 2026, the 41-year-old comedian shared a revealing look at her decade-long relationship with television producer Chris Convy. Glaser admitted that she not only gives Convy permission to “hook up” with other women but actually finds the idea to be a major “turn-on.”
During her conversation with host Alex Cooper, the Nikki Glaser Chris Convy open relationship 2026 was described using a unique analogy. Glaser stated that she views the ideal boyfriend as an “off-leash dog.”
“There is nothing cooler than a dog off a leash,” Glaser explained. “And that’s what I want in a boyfriend. It’s like, I know I’m the master.” She clarified that her preference stems from a desire to be with a man who remains highly desirable to others. “I want a guy that other girls want,” she added, noting that hearing about his “stories” from other encounters is something she actively enjoys.
While the arrangement might sound like a standard open relationship, Glaser was quick to point out that it is entirely one-sided.
• The Rules: Glaser encourages Convy to seek sexual attention elsewhere but maintains that she has “zero interest” in doing the same.
• The Fetish: She described the dynamic as a specific “hot husband” kink. “I’m not someone who likes to hook up when I’m in a relationship… but I don’t care if someone else were to. In fact, I kind of like it.”
• Emotional Boundaries: Despite the physical freedom, Glaser remains firm on emotional loyalty. “Emotional cheating would hurt her,” she noted, emphasizing that the encounters must remain purely physical.

The revelation provides new context for the couple’s long and winding history.
• 2013: The pair first met on the set of her MTV show Nikki & Sara Live.
• The Rollercoaster: Over the last 13 years, the couple has broken up no fewer than five times—a statistic Glaser frequently uses as punchlines in her stand-up sets and during her 2026 Golden Globes hosting duties.
• The “Contract”: Convy, a seasoned producer, has reportedly given Glaser a “hall pass” to use their relationship for comedy, including her jokes about their height difference and his status as her “hot guy on discount.”
Glaser admitted that while her close circle of friends and family understand the dynamic, she often has to deal with “stigma” from the outside world. However, she remains unfazed. “He’s 45 and I’m like, ‘Get out there, get some, know that you’re a sexual being again,'” she joked.
The comedian’s honesty highlights a growing trend of “nontraditional” celebrity relationships that prioritize radical transparency over public perception. For Glaser and Convy, the secret to a 13-year bond apparently involves a little bit of humor, a lot of communication, and a very loose “leash.”
