Chelsea Handler at 50: Unfiltered, Unstoppable, and Unapologetically Herself

Chelsea Handler BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Chelsea Handler has been impossible to miss lately making headlines across entertainment, business, and social media for a chaotic mix of achievement and outrageous candor. The biggest recent chatter comes from her appearance at the 2025 Critics Choice Awards, where fans buzzed over a visible PICC line on her arm. Handler took control of the narrative from the stage, roasting herself and poking fun at medical drama before joking about her recent shoulder infection, which she’d discussed on the Call Her Daddy podcast, telling fans she’s “very professional when it comes to having a good time.” According to Parade magazine and broadcast coverage, seeing Handler tackle her health head-on while seamlessly hosting a major ceremony only boosted her image as an unshakeable force turning 50.

Parallel to her public appearances, Chelsea made significant waves in the business world by launching her own Vodka Lemonade ready-to-drink cocktail line with Owl’s Brew, reported by the alcohol industry newsletter Park Street Daily. The line is vegan, gluten-free, and all-natural, available in several creative flavors, and already distributed nationwide, suggesting a calculated move to cement her personal brand well beyond the comedy circuit.

Social media, as always, is Chelsea’s playground. To mark her 49th birthday in February, she posted another viral skiing-in-a-bikini stunt on Instagram, dog in tow and beverage in hand, prompting model Charlotte McKinney and stars like Kerry Washington and Diplo to declare it “iconic.” Handler has made it a personal tradition to celebrate birthdays nearly nude on the slopes, promoting laughter, body confidence, and sometimes even encouraging charitable donations to causes like Can’d Aid.

On the romance front, Handler confirmed on The Jamie Kern Lima Show and People that she’s been seeing someone for nine months, after sparking rumors by leaving the Vanity Fair party arm-in-arm with Oscar nominee Ralph Fiennes. She was quick to clarify she doesn't consider any of her relationships truly “serious,” framing herself more as a “purpose person” than a relationship type. Still, her open admission of being very attracted to her current partner and enjoying “great sexual experiences” sets the tone for her unapologetically liberated middle age.

Looking ahead, Handler is continuing her prolific output with a new Netflix special, “Chelsea Handler The Feeling,” premiering March 25, promising plenty of self-deprecating humor, cultural commentary, and Handler’s signature fearlessness. With business success, personal revelations, and stand-up power moves, Chelsea Handler’s latest chapter cements her as a pop culture fixture, bracingly honest and busier than ever.
