Comedian Kathy Griffin has apparently hard-launched a new relationship on social media \u2014 with a man she says is 43 years her junior.<\/p>\n
The\u00a0\u201cSuddenly Susan\u201d\u00a0and\u00a0\u201cMy Life on the D-List\u201d\u00a0star, 65, posted a photo of herself hand-in-hand with the unidentified younger man on her\u00a0Instagram<\/a>, captioned simply: \u201cHe\u2019s 22. Have at it, internet.\u201d<\/p>\n Confusingly though, this is not the first time in recent weeks Griffin has hard-launched a relationship on social media \u2014 without actually identifying the man that she\u2019s dating.<\/p>\n Kathy Griffin, 65, revealed a new 22-year-old boyfriend on her Instagram. Brian Prahl \/ SplashNews.com<\/p>\n Back in mid-May, she posted a photo of herself with an unknown man who looked closer to her in age, writing: \u201cWe\u2019re insta official. Deal with it.\u201d<\/p>\n That past photo has since been deleted, suggesting Griffin and her May boyfriend might have already gone their separate ways.<\/p>\n Her fans and celeb friends are all for the possible new romance with this much younger man.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s 22. Have at it, internet,\u201d Griffin wrote in the social media post. Kathy Griffin \/ Instagram<\/p>\n \u201cYou\u2019ll always be hot,\u201d said Courtney Stodden \u2014 herself no stranger to an age-gap relationship, having wed actor Doug Hutchison when she was 16 and he was 51<\/a> (the pair later split).<\/p>\n \u201cEnjoy. Just don\u2019t talk about Tv shows or music,\u201d one fan advised.<\/p>\n \u201cGet it momma,\u201d another cheered.<\/p>\n Griffin posted a photo of herself with an older man in May, but has since deleted the image. Kathy Griffin \/ Instagram<\/p>\n Griffin has been open in the past about dating men who are much younger than her. In December last year, she wrote an article revealing that she had fallen for a 23-year-old<\/a> following her 2025 split from ex-husband Randy Bick<\/a>, who at 47 was almost two decades younger than Griffin himself.<\/p>\n \u201cI accidentally fell in love with a 23-year-old,\u201d Griffin confessed in an article she wrote for\u00a0The Cut<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cBecause of his age, he didn\u2019t have the usual sexism, misogyny, and biases that guys my age tend to have. He seemed to see me. I know that sounds really corny. Oh God, it sounds so lame! But I felt really comfortable with him, and I felt very content just hanging out.\u201d<\/p>\n But she revealed that the reality of their age gap meant it was a short-lived romance.<\/p>\n \u201cI knew he was too young when he told me he never wanted to have kids and that he could be with me forever. And I was like: \u2018You don\u2019t know that. You\u2019re 23. You have no idea,\u2019 \u201c she wrote.<\/p>\n \u201cSo I had to set that dove free.\u201d<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t
