Comedian Nikki Glaser has never been one to shy away from candid conversations, and her latest appearance on the Call Her Daddy podcast proved no exception.
In the episode released April 8, Glaser detailed her long-term, on-and-off relationship with TV producer Chris Convy and what she describes as her “hot husband” fetish — her enjoyment of the idea of him having purely physical encounters with other women.
“In a relationship, I don’t really care if my boyfriend were to hook up,” Glaser told host Alex Cooper. “But that is not a two-way street. I’m not someone who likes to hook up when I’m in a relationship… But I don’t care if someone else were to. In fact, I kinda like it.”
Glaser, who hosted the Golden Globes and is known for her sharp stand-up comedy, explained that the dynamic began early in her relationship with Convy. The pair first connected in 2013 when he produced her MTV show Nikki & Sara Live, and she developed a major crush on him. Starting around age 29, she began asking for detailed stories about his past hookups and relationships, which she said served as a form of foreplay.
When those stories ran dry, she encouraged new experiences during times when they were together or on breaks in their more than decade-long relationship. She stressed clear boundaries: the encounters must remain strictly physical, protection is required, and there can be no emotional connection or ongoing bond. Glaser noted that any form of emotional cheating — such as sharing intimate activities or building a deeper relationship — would genuinely hurt her.
“It’s a fetish. I’ve looked into it, it’s called ‘Hot Husband,'” she said, adding a humorous spin: “I want my boyfriend to f— other women because I just love women so much. I’m such a feminist.”
The comedian tied part of the appeal to her competitive side, saying that knowing other women desire her partner makes her feel like she’s “winning” and motivates her to “step it up.” She compared it to lending a friend a great hairdresser — sharing something good without losing ownership.
Glaser emphasized that she has no interest in participating herself, watching, or opening the relationship in the reverse direction. She also clarified that this isn’t traditional non-monogamy or polyamory for her; she prefers to remain monogamous both sexually and emotionally.
The pair’s relationship has seen multiple breakups over the years, during which both naturally saw other people. As of the podcast, they appear to be back together, and Glaser has spoken positively about their bond in the past, referring to Convy as “the one” while noting she’s not currently prioritizing marriage or children.
She has touched on similar feelings in previous interviews, including a 2022 conversation with Graham Bensinger and an appearance on Gwyneth Paltrow’s Goop podcast around 2025, where she first publicly labeled it the “hot husband” fetish.
The revelations have sparked online debate, with reactions ranging from support for consensual relationship dynamics to criticism questioning the imbalance or potential risks of jealousy and attachment. Glaser presented the topic with her signature self-deprecating humor, acknowledging that it might “come across as lame” to some but owning it as “just what I’m into.”
As Glaser continues to promote her upcoming comedy special Good Girl, set to premiere on Hulu on April 24, her openness fits a pattern of using personal stories for both comedic effect and broader conversation. Whether viewed as a unique kink involving elements of compersion or simply a reflection of their specific chemistry after years together, she appears confident in the arrangement.
In the world of celebrity relationships, where boundaries and definitions of commitment often vary, Glaser’s comments add another layer to ongoing discussions about monogamy, consent, and what works for individual couples. As she put it, this setup works for them — and that’s what matters.
