Chelsea Handler and her “cowboy” boyfriend are over.
Two months after the comedian’s partner was identified as construction executive Joe Largura, Handler told “Let’s Be Honest” podcast listeners that they’ve called it quits.
“The last guy I was dating, I met him in Vegas at a blackjack table,” the Daytime Emmy winner, 51, said. “That was a really fun, like, adventure.”
She noted that they “had a great five, six months together.”
The former “Chelsea” host did not elaborate further on the end of the romance.
Handler went public with the relationship in March while documenting a trip to Turkey on social media.
She included photos of Largura in her loved-up posts — and spoke to Las Vegas-Review Journal about how they connected.
“I had to ask this guy sitting at a blackjack table who was wearing a cowboy hat, he had a lot of chips, like, thousands of dollars. I was like, ‘Hey, buddy, can I borrow $1,000? I’m gonna start winning right away,’” she recalled at the time of the November 2025 Nevada meet-cute.
“And he was like, ‘Yeah, absolutely!’ So he gave me $1,000,” Handler remembered. “I paid him back another thousand just for interest, which I ended up taking back at the end of the night because I said, ‘I don’t think he deserved that.’”
He texted the following morning, gushing, “I had so much fun last night with you.”
She clarified, “He’s not a real cowboy, but I call him Cowboy. … My current cowboy.”
Their whirlwind romance continued with Handler sending him “a link to this trip … in Antarctica,” with Largura buying a ticket and meeting her there.
“I’m still going strong with this guy,” Handler, who clarified “he’s not a real cowboy, but [she] call[s] him Cowboy,” wrote at the time. “It’s hot, and a woman like me needs a big move like that.”
Prior to Largura, Handler dated someone in 2025 whose identity she never revealed.
“I’ve known him for years,” she said of the mystery man on “Call Her Daddy” last year. “I’ve always been attracted to him, but he was not available. I always have wanted someone like him in my life.”
She kept tight-lipped about previous A-list lovers on Tuesday — but did call out Bobby Flay for being “cheap” and taking her on a “bad” date.
