According to Kathy Griffin, the first man she promised to spend the rest of her life with stole from her. Although the comedian’s trust had been betrayed, he still had hope for love. Fortunately, she struck gold when she fell in love with a much younger man, whom she secretly wed inside Griffin’s weddings.
Kathy Griffin is renowned for her comedic skills and capacity to make even the most glum-looking audience members smile. With reference to her first marriage, this comic, however, did not strike it rich.
After divorcing her spouse of nearly five years, Matt Moline, in 2006, the TV actress admitted that their union had been marred by dishonesty.
Griffin stunned the world when she revealed that her ex-husband frequently took her ATM cards without telling her during an interview with Larry King on CNN’s “Larry King Live.”
The comic claimed that when she was sleeping, Moline would sneak into her wallet. Given that it continued for more than a year, this was not a one-time scam. $72,000 total was taken.
When she approached him, he admitted guilt and apologized. The couple then went to counselling to try to save their marriage. Unfortunately, it was unsuccessful, and Griffin then requested a divorce, alleging irreconcilable differences.
The pair, who wed in 2001 and divorced in 2006, never had children while they were married. Griffin was still haunted by recollections of Moline’s deceit even after they were no longer together.
Following the disclosure, Moline expressed his feelings, saying that he was saddened by the claims made by his ex-partner. He said this:
“I haven’t spoken publicly about my ex-wife or our marriage since our divorce. That she would chose to level such charges now makes me sad. I won’t participate in a public discussion about personal issues.”
Griffin was open and honest about how painful it was to divorce her husband. It was tragic to her, but it did not imply her life had to end in tragedy. Instead, she made lemonade with the lemons that were given to her.
The comic claimed that by turning her unhappy ending into humor, she was able to cope with the pain more effectively. Her words are:
“I finally give everything I’ve got to the performance. I find that it helps me a lot to sort of deal with tragedy by turning it into humor.”
Fans would remember that Griffin’s love life has been fascinating throughout the years despite this terrible tragedy, and she never keeps quiet about her love interests.
In the past, she had relationships with famous people like Steve Wozniak and Quentin Tarantino. But one of her most intriguing relationships was with Randy Bick, a regular guy.
Bick was described by the comedian as “just a regular person.” In reality, Bick led a quiet life as a marketing executive before meeting Griffin.
This commoner ended up being ideal for a well-known TV personality. That opposites attract is evident in this relationship! It’s easy to assume that fate brought them together because what seems to be a perfect love tale started out somewhat awkwardly.
They didn’t meet at a celebrity-studded event or get partnered with each other by a friend. At a Los Angeles Times food and wine festival in 2011, the couple met. Griffin admitted that she thought it was just a passing fling that wouldn’t last very long. Thankfully, she was mistaken!
Bick wanted to spend more time with her after their first date, and ever since then, they have been inseparable. Before getting engaged in 2019, the couple had been dating for eight years.
They held a secret wedding celebration in her home a short while later (on the first day of the new year, 2020). Hollywood legend Lily Tomlin was identified as the ceremony’s master of ceremonies in online uploads.
The ceremony lasted around fifteen minutes, and Tomlin read the touching and funny vows that were written in a big book. The lone visitor and witness was Tomlin and Wagner’s wife, Jane.
The story of Griffin and Bick’s romance is not the classic one. The comedian is approximately twenty years older than him, in addition to having distinct careers and personalities. Nevertheless, they seem to be a perfect combination. Griffin first had his doubts about their ability to endure, particularly given the eighteen-year age difference between them. She uttered:
He’s 18 years younger than I am, so you know I didn’t believe it would work out.
Age is just a number, as they have grown stronger over the course of their relationship. Bick resides in her house with his wife and their two rescue pets.
Griffin made fun of her inability to have children in 2016, referring to the couple’s large home as a “family house,” and said that they are happy and satisfied despite not having children. Her words are:
But because I don’t have kids and am ideally barren, I don’t believe my young lover will be having children anytime soon. I told him that if I have two eggs left, he can have an omelet, but that’s all.
Griffin and her second husband enjoy a wonderful life together. The couple enjoys spending time together at home while cozily donning matching clothing and watching their favorite programs.
By periodically going for walks, they also bring the thrill to the streets. The comedian recently discussed how their lives had made news in several tabloids.
The celebrity stated that the Daily Mail has been the most benevolent media outlet thus far. The celebrity claimed that she had caused a cultural backlash in 2017 after making fun of the then-president, Donald Trump. She uttered:
“When I go for a walk with my husband and get taken by photographers, every other publication will say, “She looks old and haggard.”
The witty comedian, known for her cutting remarks, expressed her gratitude. She also chastised them for their habit of canceling culture.
