LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – Yes, Chelsea Handler and 50 Cent are dating. Chelsea Handler and 50 Cent dating reports swirled today after news, just by accident, got a picture of the two out on a date.  Was it staged? Critics weren’t so sure. By midday, a second news report claimed that the two have been dating for sometime.

Sometime?

In July Handler was reportedly “secretly” dating Dave Salmoni. Handler fueled the chatter by making jokes about the man in her life during her show, never naming Salmoni. Finally, Handler brought Salmoni on the program. And with that climatic moment, the couple were done.

Now a new report claims that Handler and 50 have been dating for “awhile”, despite her admission she was dating Salmoni as recently as September. A report in today’s US Magazine doesn’t claim that Handler and 50 are in a relationship, rather something a bit more free. “It’s been going on awhile. It’s more of a hookup thing — whenever they are in the same town.”

Before Salmoni, Handler in 2009 dated Ted Harbert. A report at the time claimed Handler and Harbert were living in her Marina Del Rey condo that cost $3.7 million for a mere 3,000 square feet.

When asked for a comment about 50, Handler’s rep today said she will answer all questions on her show.
