Comedian Nikki Glaser recently shared some candid insights into her past experiences using the exclusive dating app Raya during her appearance on the Goop podcast.
The 40-year-old comedian was chatting with host Gwyneth Paltrow when she admitted to seeing some very familiar faces on the platform.
Among the celebrity profiles she came across was none other than actor Ben Affleck.
Ben Affleck’s Lack of Interest
Glaser recalled her attempts to connect with the 52-year-old star, best known for his roles in Gone Girl and Argo.
She revealed that she had certainly “clicked” on his profile a few times but never received any acknowledgment in return.
“Oh, I definitely saw him when I was on Raya, and I would check yes, very concentrated check mark. But no, no like back,” Glaser confessed.
Despite Affleck not reciprocating her interest, Glaser was quick to point out that she had come across plenty of other celebrities on the app.
“There are so many celebrities that I saw on Raya,” she added, with a laugh.
Andrew Garfield’s Frequent Appearance on Raya
As the conversation shifted, Paltrow seemed surprised by Glaser’s revelation, prompting Glaser to share another interesting tidbit.
She mentioned how often she saw actor Andrew Garfield’s profile on the app. “That would have been a good one.
He’s gorgeous,” Paltrow remarked, to which Glaser joked, “I’m sure he just didn’t see my profile, even though I clicked on his a million times.”
Glaser explained that Raya often recycles profiles, showing her the same people repeatedly.
“So every time I’m like, ‘Yes, Andrew Garfield, like, duh.’
This was years and years ago—I don’t want to put anything out there—but like, ‘Yes, yes, yes, yes.’
I know for a fact he had to have seen my profile…” she added with a playful tone.
Paltrow, with a smile, speculated, “He probably regrets that now.”
Nikki Glaser’s Relationship with Chris Convy
While she had her fun talking about her past celebrity crushes, Glaser is currently in a committed relationship with Chris Convy.
The two first met while working on her MTV series Nikki & Sara Live, and their relationship has had its ups and downs over the years.
Despite the on-and-off nature of their connection, Glaser opened up about her struggles with long-term commitment.
During an appearance on The Howard Stern Show in May 2024, she explained, “I’m just terrified of committing to anything forever.
I think committing to something forever makes me think of no other adventures. It’s just kind of admitting defeat. It’s settling.”
A Love Story That Started in New York
Glaser’s relationship with Convy started in New York, where they initially connected over shared interests.
In a previous interview with Graham Bensinger, she shared how she had been drawn to his confidence and humor.
“I just had a crush from afar… It was very Jim and Pam [from The Office]. I was Jim, and he had no idea,” Glaser reminisced.
Convy, who also produced Glaser’s 2016 comedy series Not Safe with Nikki Glaser, has been a steady presence in her life, even though they’ve had their fair share of challenges.
Reflecting on the unpredictability of both relationships and TV shows, Glaser joked, “Most relationships don’t last, and most TV shows don’t last. It softens the brunt when those things blow up.”
Final Thoughts on the Celebrity Dating App World
While Glaser’s story provides a fascinating peek into the world of exclusive celebrity dating, it’s clear that her journey with Raya was just one chapter in her ongoing personal story.
Whether navigating complex relationships or discussing awkward celebrity encounters, Glaser continues to be open and honest about her experiences, keeping fans entertained and engaged along the way.
