Jillian Bell's boyfriend was a French-speaking American tour guide. The actress has not been in many romantic links since she announced her partner in 2016. She has been rumored to be involved with her "Workaholics" co-star, but now that he's married, fans of the show can let those rumors rest.

After breaking onto the scene in Disney's "Godmothered," Jillian Bell has been cast in some of the finest comedy movies and TV shows like "Bridesmaids" in 2011, "Office Christmas Party" in 2016, famously in "Workaholics" from 2011 to 2017, and on her very own show "Idiotsitter" from 2014 to 2017.

Jillian has kept a tight lip about matters outside her constantly busy work life. We have learned that she has a sibling whom she adores and a Spanish-named pet. However, fans have been concerned about the actress's private life, which she has kept a tight lid on since 2016. Here is what we know about her love life.

She Once Joked About Creating a Series to Get a Boyfriend

During an Interview with the legendary Larry King in January 2015, Jillian facetiously mentioned that she co-wrote "Idiotsitter" with Charlotte Newhouse so they could get boyfriends. She was in a relationship at the time, while Charlotte was not. Larry then proceeded to do some digging on the mystery man.

The TV host caught Jillian off guard with a few questions about her then-boyfriend, leading to the comedian getting her words mixed up. Despite the hilarious challenge she faced while processing the questions, she did reveal that her mystery boyfriend's full name is Alex Handloff.

Alex is a proficient French American tour guide who uses his multilingualism to guide French travelers around the states. Jillian listed Yellowstone National Park and The Grand Canyon as some of the locations Alex has worked in. She mentioned that although she barely saw him, their relationship was extremely intimate.

Jillian Bell Never Shares Her Private Life on Social Media

Jillian is quite active on social media. Her account is followed by nearly 200,000 users and has shared more than 430 posts as of this writing. Although she shares a lot, her posts rarely reveal private moments, but she does not shy away from a sincere appreciation post for some of her closest friends and family.

Fans of the show grew suspicious of her relationship with one of the star creators Adam DeVine, assuming there was a romantic link between the TV stars.

Jillian has shouted out her sister Breanna Bell multiple times and tagged her on a collage of her dog Vallejo, who she adopted in 2011. She calls Vallejo—the dog she never regretted adopting—the dreamiest man on the planet.

Breanna was born on March 15, and her famous sister shared a sweet birthday message while the world was locked up during lockdown in 2021. She shared a photo of them as children dressed like Eliza Doolittle and attached a video of Breanna blowing out the candles at her previous birthday party.

In October 2021, Jillian shared a photo of her newly wedded sister with her husband. She congratulated the newlyweds and opened the door for the groom, Adam, into their family. "So happy for her and my new brother, Adam. Congrats Babies!!! I love you both so much," the elated actress said.

The pandemic came in the way of Jillian's sister's birthday celebrations in 2021, but the Bell sisters were together for the special day. In 2022, Jillian shared another birthday tribute to her sister, with a throwback photo and two candid videos of Breanna being Breanna.

Jillian shares a unique friendship with her "I'm Totally Fine" co-star Natalie Morales. She shared a photo in appreciation of their relationship and complimented Natalie, saying that she is her friend, acting partner, and her preferred kind of human and alien. Jillian added that she hopes people who watch their film feel all the emotions.

Jillian Bell and 'Workaholics' Costar Adam Devine's Relationship

Jillian starred in the "Workaholics" series created by Blake Anderson, Adam Devine, and Emma Nesper's husband, Anders Holm. The series ran between 2011 and 2017, and the actress displayed her effortless ability to make people laugh in 45 episodes of the 86.

Fans of the show grew suspicious of her relationship with one of the star creators Adam DeVine, assuming there was a romantic link between the movie stars. However, the curtains closed on what would have been an exciting pairing as the actors did not feed into the rumor or provide any clues that fans could run with.

Jillian was good friends with the actor and the rest of the show's creators and cast. If anything in the relationship can be confirmed, it would be just that—a close friendship birthed on the "Workaholics" set. Jillian has not revealed any updates on her private life since she revealed her tour guide boyfriend on Larry's talk show in 2016.

In 2021, PEOPLE reiterated Adam's representative's confirmation of his marriage with actress Chloe Bridges. This news was celebrated by fellow "Workaholics" star Erik Griffin on Instagram when he captioned a photo of himself with Adam, Anders, and Blake, "Dem Boyz! Devine is off the market! Such an awesome wedding!"

Adam Ray, who stars in "Young Rock" alongside Curtis Bowles' half-brother Dwayne Johnson, also took to Instagram, congratulating their newlyweds. One of the photos in his compilation post is of the couple enjoying a pool day—Adam balanced his drink in one hand while his wife showed off the wedding ring on one of hers.

Without any potential beau made public yet, Jillian's fans can look forward to the five soon-to-be-released projects she's cooking up. One is the highly anticipated "Murder Mystery 2," starring Jackie Sandler's famous husband, Adam Sandler and 54-year-old "Friends" star Jennifer Aniston.
