Jennifer Coolidge has dated –

1. Chris Kattan (2001) – Jennifer reportedly dated former Saturday Night Live cast member, Christopher Lee Kattan in 2001. The comedian is nearly 10 years younger and a couple of inches shorter than Jennifer. The couple knew each other from the time they worked together in The Groundlings improvisation group.
2. Banks McClintock (2004–2005) – The actress was in a live-in relationship with Groundlings member named Banks McClintock who was a third-year student at the company’s school when he first met Jennifer. He is 8 years younger to Coolidge, and the two not only got into a relationship but also became writing partners and started a production company. The couple dated for almost a year from 2004 to 2005.
3. After her breakup with Banks McClintock, Jennifer used to share her relationship status in interviews but would never reveal the identity of the man she would be dating. Ever since she got cast as Jeanine Stifler in the American Pie franchise (1999, 2001, 2003, 2012) she admitted that she only got asked out by much younger men in their 20s and 30s, and she agreed to go out with many of them even though none of those relationships converted into a long term commitment.
4. At one point, she dated 7 actors in a row and faced as many relationship problems with the good looking dramatic actor as much as with the guy next door comic actor who always had something to prove. In a 2015 interview, Jennifer confessed that she was tired of dating actors and professionals from the entertainment industry and wished to date someone who did share her professional background. Being a famous actress did not help her get meaningful dates on dating sites, so she looked forward to meeting new and different people while traveling for her stand-up comedy tours.
