Randy Bick Is Kathy Griffin's 18-Years-Younger Husband – A Glimpse into His Life

Randy Bick has been in the entertainment industry like his wife, Kathy Griffin, but on the business side of things. He stayed by her side through thick and thin, even before the couple tied the knot or when she tried to take her own life six months later.

Randy Bick met his longtime partner and wife, Kathy Griffin, in the early 2010s. Though their relationship started off as an unlikely love story, considering their age gap, it blossomed into spontaneous marriage in 2020.

The couple weathered many storms together, including dire health scares, and briefly separated several years into their romance. However, they found a way back to each other and have been going strong since.

Randy Bick Is an Entertainment Media Professional

Bick is qualified in Integrated Brand Marketing and Management. He graduated from the University of Arizona with a Bachelor's degree in Marketing in 2001. While studying at the institution, Bick was also part of the Sigma Alpha Mu Fraternity.

He became Chapter President in 1999 and was affiliated with the University of Arizona Sports Marketing and the Alumni Association. In 2003, he enrolled at the Azusa Pacific University and graduated with an MBA the following year.

Bick then started working as an Account Executive at O'Leary and Partners in Irvine, California. In 2005, he took a senior role in the same position at Colby and Partners in Fullerton. About three years later, he worked as a Marketing Manager for the Los Angeles Times.

He moved on to Inapproproate Laughter, Inc. in September 2012, where he stayed for nearly eight years, working full-time as a Celebrity Management Director. Per his Twitter bio, Bick is an "avid sports lover," a "nondescript food critic," and a "sous-chef to four dogs."

It Took Kathy Griffin and Randy Bick about 9 Years to Make It Down the Aisle

Griffin and Bick's romance began after they met at a food and wine festival in 2011. Their connection grew strong in the following years, though Griffin once expressed her initial doubts that it would go beyond a one-night stand due to their 18-year age gap. She said:

"Well, you know, I didn't think it would last [because] he's 18 years younger than I am! Because I thought he was just a man-[expletive], if you will."

She later added that Bick was "not like a Hollywood guy." He was a "regular guy" with a sweet and mellow nature. It was during a 2016 interview when Griffin gushed about her beau, but two years later, in November 2018, she announced their split.

She explained that their separation was amicable and said she would always adore Bick. However, the lovers reconciled a few months later, with Griffin announcing they were back together after they posed in a lovely picture with Daisy Fuentes and Richard Marx.

On December 31, 2019, Bick and Griffin shared a video excitedly announcing their engagement, saying they would wed sometime after midnight. They stayed true to their word and married on January 1, 2020, with Lily Tomlin, Jane Wagner's partner, officiating their union.

Randy Bick Took Care of His Wife Post-cancer Surgery

In August 2021, Griffin announced she had received a stage 1 lung cancer diagnosis. She told her fans that she would undergo surgery to remove half of her left lung that month. The medical professionals she visited also assured her she wouldn't need any further treatment.

Griffin also opened up about her brief addiction to painkillers after receiving much backlash for her controversial 2017 shoot with former U.S. president Donald Trump. She said she overdosed again on prescription pills in June 2020 in a suicide attempt.

However, she said she was determined to avoid that rabbit hole after lung surgery. Upon her return, Griffin again announced that the surgery was a success and she was on the road to recovery. Many celebrities, including Kris Jenner, wished the comedienne well.

Her husband played his part as he took care of her, cooking healthy and gluten-free meals, as Griffin shared. However, shortly after she returned from her medical operation, Bick accidentally and severely wounded himself with a knife while cooking.

Griffin had been resting in their bedroom when she heard him call for her downstairs. After seeing how bad the cut was, Bick was rushed to the hospital for treatment. Thankfully, after his wife told her followers of the incident, she assured them he was recovering smoothly.
