Matt Rife is officially off the market.

The comedian and his girlfriend, actress and dancer Jessica Lord, have been linked since the summer, when fans first started noticing Rife’s flirty comments on Lord’s Instagram.

Two months after confirming he wasn’t single on Good Morning America in August, Rife opened up to PEOPLE about his relationship with Lord.

“It’s newer, but I mean I do prefer to keep it on the more private side. Just because, I mean, people are literally insane,” he said.

However, he added that Lord has been “so important to my infrastructure,” as he’s had a whirlwind of a year while embarking on his ProbleMATTic World Tour, which sold over 750,000 tickets.

Many of Rife’s jokes — which regularly go viral on TikTok — revolve around riffing off of his audience member’s dating problems and “red flags” in relationships. Though he often pokes fun at long-term partnerships, he has stated in the past that he wants to have children and a wife someday.

“I know I am just in my mid-to-late 20s, but still, I do want a wife and a family and a prominent home life that makes me feel comfortable, safe, and is my peace,” he told Esquire in April 2023. “But when I’m touring six days a week, 52 weeks out of the year, it’s incredibly hard to maintain a relationship.”

He continued, “I do meet women who are fantastic human beings that I’m like, ‘Wow, you’re such a lovely person. You’re beautiful. 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.’ So I wonder if I am missing out on wonderful people, you know?”

Luckily for Rife, he has since found love with Lord.

So who is Matt Rife’s girlfriend? Here’s everything to know about Jessica Lord and her relationship with the comedian.

Lord was born in Rochdale, England, which is a small town in the northern region of the country outside of Manchester. When TikTok users commented on her unique accent — which sounds like a combination of British, Scottish and Canadian — the actress explained a bit more about her background.

“I actually spent most of my childhood in Canada so I feel like I’ve got the Canadian intonation but still with the northern vowels,” she said in a TikTok video. “I was really close with my family and still am really close with my family and when I was filming in Europe, I would go and visit my family in the U.K. I never lost my roots but I definitely don’t think it’s as thick as it would be if I was still there of course.”

Lord began dancing when she was 4 years old and chose to pursue her passion professionally. In a May 2020 interview with the Canadian Model and Talent Convention (CMTC), she explained that while she originally always thought she wanted to be a dancer, she booked her first acting role through a dancing job, which lit the spark for a career in Hollywood.

Since then, Lord has worked on Hulu’s Find Me in Paris, where she plays the leading role, and also has appeared in an episode of Party of Five and an episode of Ransom.

“It’s gone really well and I get to work with some of the most incredible people I’ve ever met,” Lord said, reminiscing on her experience filming Find Me in Paris. “It’s just been such a crazy rollercoaster like a dream I didn’t even know could be reality.”

The young actress decided to make the move to Los Angeles right before the COVID-19 pandemic set in so she could continue auditioning for new projects. She told CMTC that although she was only there for a little over a month before temporarily returning to Canada, she had a “crazy” time and had already gone through “pilot season,” meaning she was auditioning every day.

“I’m not complaining at all, and I love the busy life,” she said. “It’s pretty much just grinding out and auditioning to get a part and if you make it to a certain point of the audition process, that’s when things get really crazy.”
