Chelsea and Jo, 51, frequently appear on Chelsea Lately, which ran from 2007 to 2014. Their relationship grew from platonic to romantic during the pandemic. “When he was leaving, I was like, ‘That’s a bummer,'” the E! News cover star exclusively shared. “Or if I didn’t hear from him for a couple of days, I was like, ‘Where’s Jo Koy? He’s usually up my ass.’ And then I started to realize, ‘Oh, he’s not annoying me.'”
Over the summer, however, Chelsea announced their split ahead of their one-year anniversary.
“To be loved and adored by @jokoy has been one of the greatest gifts of my life,” she wrote in July. “He renewed my faith in men, in love, in being 100% who I am, and I’ve never been more optimistic for the future. Jo- you blew my creativity open, my lust for working hard again, being on the road again, and you reminded me who I was and always have been, and my feet have never been more firmly planted in the ground.”
