![In 2023, Gillis relocated from New York City to Austin, Texas.[60] He has cited Austin's expanding stand-up scene—particularly activity around Joe Rogan's Comedy Mothership—and practical considerations such as Texas's lack of a state income tax as reasons for the move.[61] In a January 2024 appearance on This Past Weekend, he said he wanted "to live in a place where you can do stand-up during the week," noting that opportunities had expanded beyond New York and Los Angeles to cities such as Nashville and Austin.[62] He has also remarked on aspects of living in Texas during appearances on The Joe Rogan Experience, including frequent statewide emergency alerts.[63]
Gillis was in a relationship with social media personality Grace Brassel. The couple publicly confirmed the relationship in July 2024 and have appeared together at public events, including during Gillis's hosting of the 2025 ESPY Awards.[64][65] In November 2025, People Magazine reported that they had separated "a number of months" prior.[66]
Gillis attended the UFC Freedom 250 event on June 14, 2026, on the South Lawn of the White House in Washington, DC.[67] At the event, he criticized remarks made targeting Michelle Obama's appearance](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:vbpjnncjo5ee6vdnewmllam6/bafkreidk5h3w3d7nnvwlddw4skkuv2htncmaw4ycfx3uqtf7gabm4bh22q)
