Chelsea Handler is discovering why business doesn’t mix with pleasure.
E! First Lady of Late Night has called it quits with her boyfriend of nearly four years, Ted Harbert, Gawker.com reported Tuesday. Here’s where things gets dicey: As president and CEO of Comcast Entertainment, which owns E! — the parent network behind Handler’s hit show Chelsea Lately – Harbert is also Chelsea’s boss.
How’s that for awkward?
“The couple is no longer residing together,” an E! rep said in a statement. “Ted has nothing but the highest regard for Chelsea both personally and professionally.”
Handler, 34, and Harbert, 55, reportedly began dating in 2006 — just after the comedienne’s E! reality-sketch series, The Chelsea Handler Show, left the air.
