MATT RIFE'S SINGLE AGAIN: COMEDIAN SPLITS FROM FIND ME IN PARIS STAR JESSICA LORD AFTER LESS THAN A YEAR OF DATING
Matt Rife has officially called it quits with actress Jessica Lord.
The internet comedian, 28 — who recently cancelled his comedy show in Indiana due to a 'medical emergency' — amicably split with he Find Me in Paris star, 25, after less than a year of dating.
A source close to the pair confirmed that the influencer and the actress parted ways in March, according to TMZ.
The insider revealed on Wednesday that the relationship had run its course and both sides were on the same page.
Instead of moving on to another lady to romance, Rife is letting love take the backseat to prioritize his stand-up tour.
Matt and Jessica were first linked back in June of last year with them going their separate ways after nine months together.
The ex-couple initially met in Mississippi in 2022 when the actress was in another relationship at the time.
The internet hunk, who got his break on TikTok, has previously dated stars like Lucy Hale and Kate Beckinsale.
Last June Rife told Elite Daily that he 'prioritized women a lot' while growing up which he believes resulted in 'a lot of healthy and a lot of unhealthy relationships.'
Of his presence on social media he said: 'When the TikTok stuff and social media stuff started to blow up, [my audience] was definitely, I’d say, 95% women from 16 to 25, which is a very, very powerful fan base,' he explained.
'And I’m so thankful for it. They’re very online,' he continued. 'They’re not always the best stand-up comedy audience members.
'A lot of the time they like my face a lot more than my jokes, which is fine. It gets them in the door, and then hopefully you keep them with the comedy,' he added.
During an interview with Esquire he expressed his 'hate' for dating because it conflicts with his job.
'I kind of hate dating. I know I am just in my mid-to-late 20s, but still, I do want a wife and a family and a prominent home life that makes me feel comfortable, safe, and is my peace.
'But when I’m touring six days a week, 52 weeks out of the year, it’s incredibly hard to maintain a relationship,' he explained.
Rife expressed that although he frequently meets new women, he feels that he is not 'in a position right now to fulfill' the responsibilities of a committed relationship.
'I do meet women who are fantastic human beings that I’m like, "Wow, you’re such a lovely person. You’re beautiful. You’re sweet, you’re kind, you’d be an excellent mother and excellent wife, excellent girlfriend, you check all these boxes, but I might not be in a position right now to fulfill your needs as a responsible boyfriend,"' he said.
He is currently on his ProbleMATTic World Tour that kicked off in July of last year and will wrap this October in Abu Dhabi.
