A conclave for two.
Chelsea Handler and Ralph Fiennes set the Hollywood rumor mill into motion after they were spotted leaving an Oscars party together on Sunday night.
The pair were all smiles, laughing as they walked arm-in-arm on their way out of the 2025 Vanity Fair Oscar Party at the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts in Beverly Hills following the 2025 Academy Awards, leaving many wondering whether the comedian and the “Conclave” star have struck up a romance.
Fiennes was nominated at this year’s Oscars in the Best Lead Actor category for his performance in “Conclave,” his third career nomination, though the British star lost out to Adrien Brody, whose portrayal of a Hungarian architect moving to the US after the Holocaust won him the coveted trophy.
Drink in hand, Handler, 50, dressed in a metallic pale champagne-colored dress by KHOON HOOI and gold Manolo Blahnik BB heels, and Fiennes, 62, dashing in a black wide lapel tuxedo and white-edged bow tie from London brand Taillour, cut an elegant figure as they giggled their way out of the posh soirée.
The Post reached out to Handler and Fiennes’ reps for comment.
The pair’s Oscar party exit follows a saucy bit they performed together during this year’s Critics Choice Awards, which the “My Horizontal Life” author hosted last month.
Reenacting Nicole Kidman’s now iconic milk scene from the 2024 erotic thriller “Babygirl,” Handler chugged a full glass of milk at the urging of Fiennes.
“Babygirl was one of my favorite movies this year because I love everything Nicole Kidman does and it even inspired me to hire a new sexy intern,” Handler said, taking the glass from an off-camera helper.
“Oh, this must be from him, thank you,” she quipped as she began to down the milk, clearly doing a send-up of the memorable scene in the Halina Reijn-directed film.
Fiennes then joined in, playing the role of Harris Dickinson, who plays Kidman’s young intern and love interest.
“Good girl. Good girl. Good girl,” the “Maid in Manhattan” star said, repeating Dickinson’s line from “Babygirl.”
“Keep going, don’t stop, go on, go on,” Fiennes urged Handler as she finished the drink.
In an unscripted moment, the former “Chelsea Lately” host was heard saying,”That was a lot of milk” after the cameras cut to the next presenter.
Handler recently hinted that she is currently dating someone, though she did not disclose their identity.
“I’ve been down that road before with having a public relationship—my last relationship,” the comedian told Alex Cooper on her “Call Her Daddy” podcast in December, referring to her relationship with Jo Koy, whom she dated for a year before they broke up in July 2022.
“It’s more out of respect for their privacy,” she said of her new love interest. “I don’t want him to have to be exposed to my world.”
Handler shared that she met her current significant other “a long time ago” but noted that they didn’t “become lovers” until a few months ago after she invited him on a trip to Mallorca with her friends.
“He’s hot, he’s awesome and so caring,” the star continued, adding that he understands how her life is “pretty crazy.”
She said that “he’s around” when she wants him to be and explained that she doesn’t ever want to be married.
Fiennes has kept his love life private in recent years. He divorced “E.R.” actress Alex Kingston in 1997 after four years of marriage and more than a decade together as a couple. In October 2023, he was rumored to be dating filmmaker Svetlana Zill.
