Controversial comic Matt Rife splits from actress girlfriend

Controversial bad boy comedian Matt Rife and his actress girlfriend Jessica Lord have reportedly gone their separate ways.

Matt Rife and Jessica Lord have called it quits.

Sources close to the former couple told TMZ that the pair amicably ended their relationship in March after the relationship ran its course.

The insiders went on to say that the standup comedian, 28, has not been romancing anyone new following the split.

Instead, he’s focused on his 2024 comedy tour — which is back on after he cancelled his shows at Indiana University in May due to a “last minute medical emergency.”

Rife and Lord, 25, officially started dating in June 2023 nearly a year after they met in Mississippi in 2022.

Jessica Lord and Matt Rife have called it quits.

As Page Six exclusively reported at the time, Rife had called it quits with Pretty Little Liars star Lucy Hale around the time he began seeing the Find Me in Paris star.

Rife’s romantic history also includes Underworld star Kate Beckinsale, whom he dated when she was 43 and he was 21.

In 2019, Rife described the relationship as “complicated” to TMZ and noted there were “a lot of ups and downs.”

Last December, YouTuber Brooke Schofield detailed going through a brutal break-up with the “Natural Selection” star after she discovered he allegedly cheated on her with 20 women.

“There were timelines, there were Venn diagrams, we were comparing notes. It was so crazy,” she said on Tana Mongeau’s Cancelled podcast as she recalled being added to a large group chat with the other women who dated Rife.

Lord called him her “funny Valentine” in this post back in February.

In a later attempt to reach out to Rife and share her feelings on the situation, Schofield, 27, discovered that the comedian blocked her number.

“I go to send him a little message. I want to get my facts straight, as if my facts aren’t straight enough … and I wasn’t even rude,” she recalled.

“I just sent him a text, and I was like, ‘How embarrassing is it that I’m literally currently getting dragged for defending you while also in a group chat with seven other girlfriends you had?’

“He blocked my f**king number. … Blocking me is so f**king crazy,” Schofield added.
