has opened up about his from ex-husband Paul Drayton.
The Chatty Man star, 46, and his partner of 14 years (and husband of three), divorced in 2022.
Now, about the reasons behind the split, citing his as being.
Alan confessed to being– and happier than when he and party planner Paul were married.
‘You come out and you think, “Oh, I’m happy now, taking a bit more control of my life,”’ Alan said in the recent interview with .
In the end, he admitted Paul’s addiction ‘just got too much for me’.
The stand-up also revealed he is ‘tentatively looking’ for a new partner and ‘companionship’ – but not someone famous.
‘I need somebody who’s like celebrity adjacent, who knows the business and understands the long hours and that I might be away,’ he explained.
Alan also reflected on good old times on his talk show, Chatty Man, and reminisced about when Lady Gaga couldn’t get out of her very complicated outfit and was forced to urinate in a bin backstage.
Also looking back, Alan called himself a ‘bloody idiot’ for his Amy Winehouse impression in 2008, in which he impersonated the singer when she was struggling with addiction.
This comes after Alan revealed he is in his ‘slaggy phase’ following his split from Paul last year.
‘I want to be a slag, but to be a slag you need someone to be slaggy with,’ the comedian said in an episode of his podcast.
The pair announced they would be parting ways in a joint statement, saying that the decision was reportedly made ‘jointly and amicably’.
Paul and Alan famously tied the knot in LA back in 2008, with singer Adele officiating the nuptials.
A spokesperson for Carr said at the time: ‘Alan Carr married his long-term partner Paul Drayton at a small private ceremony in LA last week.
‘The couple are currently on honeymoon in Mexico and are planning a big celebration with all their family and friends back in the UK later this summer. They are both extremely happy.’
