The comedian confirmed her split from longtime boyfriend Randy Bick on Thursday. “God help me, but I¹m gonna be one of those people who announces a break up. After 7 years, Randy and I have decided to part ways. It’s not acrimonious and I will always adore him,” she tweeted. Griffin, 58, and Bick, who is 18 years the comedian’s junior, began dating in 2011 after meeting at a wine festival. Griffin previously told PEOPLE that she thought their first encounter would be nothing more than a one-night stand. “I thought he was just a man-whore, if you will,” she joked. The couple lived together in Griffin’s Bel Air home, along with their two rescue dogs Pom and Larry.
