Chelsea Handleris opening up about the reason she and former NBC chairman Ted Harbert broke up more than a decade ago.
On Wednesday, the comedian, 48, chatted withAndy Cohenon hisSiruisXM radio showabout the threesome she had with the couple’s masseuse — and how that was the beginning of the end of her relationship with Harbert.
The topic came up when Cohen asked Handler if she ever dated a woman.
“I’ve slept with a woman,” theChelsea Latelystar revealed, “but I haven’t dated a woman.” When Cohen pushed for more detail, Handler admitted it was during a threesome.
Cohen laughed and Handler continued. “I don’t think I ever revealed that, but I mean, hopefully, he’s listening now,” she said with a chuckle. “His name is Ted Harbert. He’s in Portugal though. He might not have access to this … he and his wife are building a house in Portugal.”
Handler and Harbert broke up in 2010 after dating for four years. He was the president of E! Entertainment when the Handler’s late-night show launched in 2006.
Previously, Handler suggested the reason they broke up was because he couldn’t separate work from the rest of their life.

“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,'” she said in an interview withMarie Clairein 2012. “That was the reason it didn’t work out, ultimately. I think.”
Cohen continued to press Handler about threesomes in the interview, asking if she’d ever “gift your man a three-way?”
“Absolutely,” she responded emphatically. “It’s fun. Absolutely.”
Handler most recently datedJo Koy, 52, before announcing their split last year.
