Chelsea Handler is head over heels in love with her new beau, weeks after being caught making out with comedian Jo Koy.
The 46-year-old funny gal took to her social media to express her happiness in the love department, seemingly confirming the dating rumors that have been swirling since eyewitnesses spotted the duo packing on the PDA at a Los Angeles Dodgers game earlier this month.
Sharing a reflecting post, the usually private Handler wrote, "Just sitting here in Mallorca thinking about how grateful I am to have so many people that I love in my life, to live the life I do and to be going on tour doing what I love."
That's when she dropped the bombshell about her personal life, adding, "And that I’m finally in love, with the best kind of guy there is. There is hope for everyone! That kind of stuff."
The Chelsea Lately star and Koy have been friends forever. He also has appeared too many times to count on her late-night shows over the years.
On September 1, the two attended the Dodgers game where Koy threw out the first pitch — but what was happening in the seats was way more interesting!
"Jo Koy at Dodger game in LA!" a witness dished to celebrity gossip site Deuxmoi. "Saw Chelsea Handler on the big screen and obvi googled the two of them. Then saw him kiss a blonde next to him (she is masked so it's hard to tell)."
An additional tipster told the site that Handler and Koy were recently "spotted making out" in Montecito, California.
Koy shared a photo with Handler from the game, and the two looked like they were more than friends. In the photo, the TV personality-turned-best-selling author was seen leaning into Koy with her head on his shoulder. The duo smiled sweetly for their adorable selfie.

Handler's dating history is miles long, beginning with Comcast Entertainment Group CEO Ted Harbert. Her other flings famously include rapper 50 Cent, hotelier André Balazs, and one date with celebrity chef Bobby Flay.
Koy is divorced with one child, a son named Joseph J. Herbert Jr. Handler has been vocal about her disgust for children — but Koy's kid is 18 and, therefore, not a deal-breaker.
