Chelsea Handleris weighing in on those buzzyRalph Fiennesrumors.
The comedian, 50, wasphotographed exiting theVanity FairOscar party on Sunday, March 2 arm-in-arm with Fiennes, 62. This set the internet ablaze with speculation that the pair could be romantically linked.
Handler, though, revealed toEntertainment Tonightthat “all that happened” between her and theConclaveactor after the awards show was they “went from one party to another party.” She also emphasized that it was not just the two of them — they were “with a group of people.”
“I don’t think Ralph Fiennes is marriage material,” she also told the outlet. “And I don’t think I’m marriage material.”
Given that shared trait, she acknowledged that they “might be a good pairing in that sense,” but still, “I don’t think either one of us is getting married.”
She was then handed a full glass of milk,referencing one of the movie’s unforgettable scenes, andbegan to drink it, while Fiennes encouraged her. “Good girl. Good girl. Good girl,” he said, repeatingHarris Dickinson’s line from the film.
Hours after theOscars, Handler revealed onThe Jamie Kern Lima Showthat she was, in fact, seeing someone she was “very attracted to” who she’d been involved with for “nine months.”
“I have someone that I’m seeing now that I’m very attracted to and that I like having sex with, and so that’s a really good like nice little thing I have going,” she said in PEOPLE’s exclusive clip from the March 4 podcast episode.

She noted that she doesn’t consider herself a “relationship person,” though, so neither her current partner nor her previous partners have been “serious.”
“I think of myself as a purpose person,” she said. “Like my purpose is here, to be here to have conversations like the one we’re having right now, to infuse people with optimism, to be there for women, that is my purpose in this life, whether they’re more lives or not.”
Handler continued, “All I know is I know what I’m supposed to be doing, and any man that’s in my life is not the main character. That’s a side relationship, and I love them, and I want to respect everybody, but that’s not my main M.O. in life. I’m not that kind of person.”
