As he prepares to film Rush Hour 4, popular comedian Chris Tucker reveals that he has been celibate for three years, and no one believes him. TMZ broke the news on Tuesday, June 16.
During a recent stand-up performance in Las Vegas, the actor and comedian revealed that he has been celibate for more than three years as he focuses on finding lasting love and marriage.
The surprising confession came during a show at the Wynn Las Vegas, where Tucker opened up to the audience about his relationship status.
“Well, I’m celibate. I’ve been celibate for 3 years, but I’m really trying to get married,” Tucker told the crowd. “I give it to the love this time.”
The revelation prompted laughter and disbelief from audience members, a reaction Tucker said he has grown accustomed to.

According to Tucker, skepticism extends beyond strangers. Even members of his own family question his commitment to celibacy.
“She believes in aliens, but she don’t believe I did that,” Tucker said, drawing laughs as he described his niece’s reaction.
The conversation then shifted to dating. Tucker recalled one encounter in which a woman misunderstood his decision to abstain from sex.
“She said, ‘How much? How much … how much is it?’” Tucker told the audience. “I’m not selling it. I’m celibate! What is wrong with you people?”
The story became one of the night’s biggest crowd-pleasers. Tucker later joked that the experience had left him so lonely he considered flirting with Siri and Alexa.
While the comedian had fans laughing with stories from his personal life, many are equally interested in his professional future. Tucker has been working toward a deal to reprise his role as Detective James Carter in a fourth installment of the beloved Rush Hour franchise.
For longtime fans, the update was a reminder of why Tucker remains one of comedy’s most charismatic storytellers. Whether discussing romance, family, or his Hollywood career, the entertainer continues to connect with audiences through honesty, charm, and impeccable timing.
