But has Rife finally found his match in Jessica Lord? Amid his touring lifestyle, the comedian has often voiced his desire to find stability and settle down, even admitting in April that he's in search of an "excellent mother and excellent wife". 

Rife confessed, “I do meet women who are fantastic human beings... 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.”

Has the Netflix star found all these qualities in Jessica Lord? Despite his candid admission about his readiness for a relationship, fans remain uncertain about this budding romance. On the one hand, they're rooting for their favorite comedian's happiness. On the other, the heartbreak of him being off the market is real.

With no official confirmation on the relationship's status, fans can only speculate. Will this be the relationship that finally sees the funnyman settling down? Will Rife and Lord turn out to be the love story of the year? Only time will tell.
