KEY POINTS

  • Tom Arnold’s assistant, Sasha Boggs, has been living at his LA home amid the COVID-19 pandemic
  • Arnold admitted that hooking up with his 31-year-old assistant, who is recently single, "could happen"
  • Arnold recently finalized his divorce with ex-wife Ashley Groussman

Newly-divorced Tom Arnold's closeness with his assistant, Sasha Boggs, is well-documented on his social media account, and the 61-year-old actor recently admitted that hooking up with her “could happen.”

Speaking to Page Six, the “Happy Endings” star revealed that people have asked him if he shares an intimate relationship with his 31-year-old assistant.

“People are always asking me if me and my assistant are sleeping together. In fact, my rabbi asked that, so I made a video of what it’s like to be quarantined with kids, who are in my bed, and how it would be impossible to … have any relationship,” he said on Tuesday.

Boggs moved into Arnold’s Los Angeles home amid the coronavirus pandemic to help him take care of his children – 7-year-old son Jax and 4-year-old Quinn. Arnold shares custody of the children with his ex-wife, Ashley Groussman.

Talking about his kids’ reaction to Boggs, Arnold said they love her. Arnold and Boggs shared a kiss on her birthday in May, and the comedian said his kids were “shocked” to see someone kissing their father.

“[My kids] had never seen a woman kiss me or me kiss a woman, and on her birthday, we kissed,” Arnold said. “They were shocked … so we talked about it for a long time and I said maybe I’d do it again. I’d definitely do it again.”

However, he clarified that they had not yet been intimate. Arnold said Boggs is recently single and “sleeps on the couch,” adding that he has not made a move because he is “professional.”

“I mean we can bump together in the hallway,” Arnold joked. “I’m not, like, dead. You know, we can talk about it.”

“Does she think I’m impotent or something?” he recalled once asking himself. “So I go back out to the couch like, ‘Hey listen. It could happen so if there’s something you needed.'”

Arnold also opened up about his recent split from Groussman after more than 10 years of marriage, saying he is “happily divorced.”

“I’m happy for everybody in my life,” he said. “I’m so grateful. I love being a dad. It’s a lot of work. I love it. So grateful. We have so much fun and I can’t imagine being anywhere else. I’m just so lucky.”

After separating last year, Arnold and Groussman filed for the dissolution of their marriage at the Los Angeles Superior Court on Thursday, citing irreconcilable differences, People reported.

In a joint statement, the exes said they were committed to raising their children in a “healthy and cooperative manner.”

Groussman was Arnold's fourth wife. He was previously married to Shelby Roos from 2002 to 2008, Julie Lynn Champnella from 1995 to 1999 and Roseanne Barr from 1990 to 1994.
