According to Page Six, Jessica Lord is Matt Rife’s current girlfriend. Hello magazine reported that Rife and Lord publicly commented on their romance in October 2023 but people wondered if they were together beginning in June 2023.

Page Six quoted Rife, who talked about Lord in an interview on the podcast 2 Bears, 1 Cave. Rife explained that she is completely fine with the fact that he is famous and that she doesn’t mind when women scream during his comedy performances. He said that Lord says it’s “annoying” since he’s working through his material.

Rife said:

“It’s an early relationship, about four or five months, but we’ve known each other for about a year and a half. She’s very smart. I love that. She’s never been insecure about the amount of attention that I get.”

While the comedian often discusses his thoughts about dating in interviews, he doesn’t share too many details about his partners. However, according to Hello magazine, he did talk about Lord on the podcast Podcrushed. He explained that when he and Lord first interacted, she was already in a relationship, and it took some time before they began dating.

While people focused on their age difference since the then-21-year-old comedian was dating a 43-year-old actress, no one knows any details about the relationship between Rife and Beckinsale.

According to Us Weekly, Rife was interviewed by Elle in September 2023 and said he was sorry for talking about Beckinsale. He has continued to stay fairly vague about his time with the star. However, Rife told Elle:

“I gave that advice because I was only speaking from personal experience, having been together and finding out that we weren’t the most compatible match.”

In April 2023, Rife talked about dating in an interview with Esquire and said that even if he met an incredible person, he wasn’t sure he could be in a relationship at that point in his life. He said he thought “‘I might not be in a position right now to fulfill your needs as a responsible boyfriend.'” and added, “So I wonder if I am missing out on wonderful people, you know? I think there’s an insecurity of like, ‘What can life be like at home in the next five years?’”

Although Matt Rife and Jessica Lord began dating later on in 2023, the comedian explained in a June 2023 interview with Elite Daily that his career made it tough to have a romantic relationship.

Rife talked about his busy work schedule and said:

“I prioritized women a lot when I was younger, and I was in a lot of healthy and a lot of unhealthy relationships. But both of them are equally time-consuming. A healthy relationship, a lot of times you’re so happy that you prioritize it over things that you should be doing professionally… And sometimes you’re in a toxic relationship where you’re like, ‘Hold on, I can’t do this professional thing because I’m too busy fighting with my partner right now.’”

Rife might have changed his mind when he met Lord because he felt that there was something special about her, or perhaps he was ready for a relationship beforehand. Either way, they seem to be happy together.
