Kathy Griffin splits from boyfriend of 7 years
Kathy Griffin is back on the market.
The 58-year-old comedian announced Thursday that she and Randy Bick have broken up after seven years together. “It’s not acrimonious, and I will always adore him,” she tweeted. “There, now those jerks at TMZ wont get the story first.”
Griffin and Bick, a 40-year-old marketing executive, met at a food and wine festival in 2011.
“Well you know I didn’t think it would last, [because] he’s 18 years younger than I am!” she joked to People two years ago, recalling how she thought it would just be a one-night stand. “Because I thought he was just a man-whore, if you will.”
God help me, but I1m gonna be one of those people who announces a break up.
After 7 years, Randy and I have decided to part ways. It’s not acrimonious and I will always adore him. There, now those jerks at TMZ wont get the story first. Go back to your bootlicking, @HarveyLevinTMZ— Kathy Griffin (@kathygriffin) November 8, 2018
“We have a great time, and he’s very sweet and very mellow,” she added. “He’s like a regular guy, you know, he’s like a real guy. He’s not like a Hollywood guy.”
Bick moved into Griffin’s Bel Air home with their rescue dogs. He also became her tour manager and was a rock for the author during the scandal that ensued in May last year, after she posted a picture in which she appeared with a mock severed head of President Trump.
Griffin was previously married to software entrepreneur Matthew Moline. She filed for divorce in 2005 after four years of marriage, claiming that he had stolen $72,000 from her. The former My Life on the D List star also dated Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak.
