Captivating audiences with his edgy jokes and confident stage presence, Jeselnik has been dominating the world of stand-up comedy since the beginning of his career in the early 2000s. However, his big break came when Jeselnik started working as the first stand-up comic to perform on Jimmy Fallon’s show. Further, he has also worked as a writer for the program, before branching out to start his own stand-up shows.
Since then he has written andperformed stand-up specialslikeThoughts and PrayersandCaligula. Although he has often addressed dark themes, and had a fearless approach to taboo subjects, Jeselnik’s provocative comedy style hasn’t always earned praise from fans. Considering how his witty remarks aren’t always for the faint of hearts, the comedian had faced his fair share of criticism for his jokes.
Is Anthony Jeselnik Married?
Meanwhile, apart from his dark comedy and witty punchlines, fans have been quite interested in Anthony Jeselnik’s love life. But despite being a very public figure, the comedian has been notoriously private about his personal life, particularly his relationships. Jeselnik has managed to keep his love life mostly out of the limelight, a stark contrast to his public persona, which often thrives on openness and blunt honesty.

However, despite the comedian’s best attempt at keeping things private, fans have been curious to know if he’s married. Well, according to reports, Jeselnik is not married, as of yet. But, there were rumors fromBreckell.ukabout the comedian tying the knot with his previous partner Amy Schumer. However, it was later debunked after the actress/comedian married Chris Fischer in 2018.
Therefore, it’s safe to say that any report about whether Jeselnik has a significant other is purely speculation, especially since the comedian has remained tight-lipped about his love life. Perhaps, his reluctance to publicly discuss his love life is a deliberate choice to preserve his personal boundaries and prevent his relationships from turning into another form of public entertainment.
Anthony Jeselnik’s Dating History and Rumors
While it’s for sure that Anthony Jeselnik isn’t married and considering how he has kept his love life under tight wraps, there have been a few notable rumors and reports about his dating life, over the years. Apparently, the comedian has been linked to a few renowned women, although it’s important to take these rumors as mere speculations, given his preference for privacy.

Well, according toAmo Mama, one of Jeselnik’s most talked-about relationships has been withSaturday Night Live star and actress, Amy Schumer. The two reportedly began dating in 2009 and were said to have been together for a brief period, until 2013. Thereafter, Schumer confirmed viaCosmopolitanabout having an “on-and-off” romance for four years, whereas Jeselnik toldFox News, about experiencing good and bad moments with Schumer, like any other couple.
Thereafter, much like the industry’s beloved ex-partners Demi Moore and Bruce Willis, even Anthony Jeselnik andAmy Schumeradmitted to having had an amicable breakup and assured to have maintained their friendship, ever since. However, after their break-up, when Schumer got married in 2018, Jeselnik made rumors of sparking a romantic association with professional photographer, Elizabeth Viggiano.
Reports about their alleged romance emerged in 2021 when Viggiano and Jeselnik started featuring each other on their respective Instagram pages. Calling each other by an unusual endearment “demon”, the duo have shared quite a few images of each other on their birthdays and even on Valentine’s Day. Therefore, although the duo hasn’t confirmed anything about their relationship, it is safe to assume that they are more than “just friends”.
In June 2021, Viggiano shared a black-and-white photo of Jeselnik carrying her while attending an event at The Comedy Store. Thereafter, in December 2022, Jeselnik called Viggiano a “demon” in a birthday post, and likewise, the photographer playfully mentioned their unique term of endearment in Jeselnik’s birthday post. Further, in February 2023, the comediansharedanother snap of Viggiano sleeping on a couch, with a simple caption “Happy Valentine’s”.
Anthony Jeselnik Opened Up About His Sexuality
Now, although Anthony Jeselnik and Elizabeth Viggiano have reduced their posts about each other, it’s believed by his fans that the duo are still together. But much like always, Jeselnik has gotten back to keeping his potential partners out of the public’s view. Instead, shifting people’s focus from his dating history, the comedian shockingly made headlines for something that was, until now, a closely guarded secret: his sexuality.

Speaking withVultureto promote his Netflix specialBones and All, Jeselnik opened up about the reason he quit a project about bisexuality. According to the comedian, back in 2014, he was developing a show for FX, which was related to bisexuality. However, the 45-year-old claimed to have had second thoughts about his involvement and ultimately decided to walk away and give back the money.
I said, ‘You know what? I don’t even want to work on this anymore. I don’t want to do a narrative, I don’t want to talk about sexuality.
It doesn’t really benefit my comedy.’ Writing the story, writing all the characters, it was like, This is too much.
Later admitting vaguely about how the character in the show was sort of based on real-life people (possible hint at his own life), Jeselnik revealed his failure to find a comedic angle to the topic of bisexuality. Quickly shifting the discussion, he went on to inform fans how the whole narrative of the show felt like someone else’s story to tell. Further, the comedian noted that the whole thing felt like “no one really gave a sh*t”.
Well, while Anthony Jeselnik kept dropping subtle hints about his sexuality while discussing his canceled show, it looks like fans might have to keep waiting for him to be more frank about his sexuality.
