Taking to Instagram, comedian Jo Koy shared footage and images of his time at the Los Angeles Dodgers game on Tuesday (August 31st).
Fellow comedian Chelsea Handler was spotted several times with Koy as he threw the first pitch. In true social media fashion, fans started to wonder if something bigger was going on between the two…
Is Jo Koy dating Chelsea Handler?
It’s a little bit up in the air, but we’re pretty sure that the two are just friends.
With both having incredibly successful comedic careers, the two have clearly been on each other’s radars for quite some time.
In fact, in an interview with The Daily Beast, Koy revealed that he had actually turned down working with Handler on Chelsea Lately. The comedian told the outlet: “I didn’t want to be known as the sidekick. I knew if I took that on, I would be known as Chelsea Handler’s guy on the side. I didn’t want to be Andy Richter or Ed McMahon. I wanted to be Jo Koy.
“She cursed me out so hard on the phone. Every curse word you could possibly think of, telling me it’s the stupidest decision. And I get it. She was offended. She knew that this thing was going to be a hit and here I am pulling away as if I don’t believe it or something.
“But then Chelsea called me up and she put me on the show and next thing you know everyone thought I was one of the cast members because I was on it so much. And that’s the beautiful thing about Chelsea, by the way. She shares her limelight. She shares it and she understands that it takes a team for something to be as big as it was.”
The two are yet to publicly mention anything surrounding dating rumours and, for now, it looks as though they’re just good friends.

Who have the comedians dated before?
Prior, Handler was dating Ted Harbert, CEO of Comcast, from 2006. However, the two then split in 2010, stating that work had come between them. At the time, Chelsea addressed the situation: “I would come home from work, and Ted would be like, ‘Do you want to watch your show?’ and I’d be like, ‘No, I just came from my show. That’s the last thing I’d want to do.’ That was the reason it didn’t work out, ultimately. I think.”
Handler was also briefly involved with 50 Cent in 2010 before going on to date Andre Balazs. Chelsea is now reportedly single.
Jo Koy was reportedly married in the early 00’s, but the couple sadly divorced. The pair share a son together.
