Tom Arnold and his ex-wife, Ashley Groussman, finalized their divorce just this week, but the “Happy Endings” star exclusively tells Page Six hooking up with his 31-year-old assistant, Sasha Boggs, “could happen.”
“People are always asking me if me and my assistant are sleeping together,” Arnold, 61, exclusively told us on Tuesday. “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.”
Amid the coronavirus pandemic, Arnold said Boggs moved into his LA home to help him care for his two children with Groussman — son Jax, 7, and daughter Quinn, 4, — when they’re in his custody.
“[The kids] love [Boggs] and these kids are a handful,” he said. “People are like, ‘Well I’ll watch one of those kids,’ so I’ve had to take them everywhere myself, and so then you’ve got to divide and conquer with these kids.”
Aside from helping him with his children, Arnold said Boggs has assisted him in his legal matters in his recent divorce case. He and his fourth wife officially called it quits in 2019.
“[Sasha] had never been in court before, so she had to go down to H&M to buy an outfit,” he shared. “She’s just a very kind person.”
Despite what he describes to be an “intense relationship,” the comedian clarified that Boggs “sleeps on the couch” and the pair have not been intimate.
“I mean we can bump together in the hallway,” Arnold joked. “I’m not, like, dead. You know, we can talk about it.”
Arnold said Boggs is recently single, but he has not made a move because he is “professional.”
“Does she think I’m impotent or something?” the “True Lies” star said he once asked himself. “So I go back out to the couch like, ‘Hey listen. It could happen so if there’s something you needed.’”
However, in May, the pair did exchange a quick kiss for Bogg’s birthday, which Arnold shared on Instagram.

“[My kids] had never seen a woman kiss me or me kiss a woman, and on her birthday, we kissed,” the former “Best Damn Sports Show Period” host 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.”
On social media, it’s apparent that the pair enjoy spending a lot of time together. They’ve even collaborated on a podcast called “Two in the Bush” and a music video called “Big Wasabi,” which Arnold said was inspired by his nickname.
“It’s a little, you know, it’s a little saucy,” he said of the music video. “It’s a little racy, but you know, there’s a kid version, too, but you can check out the adult version. These are real musicians that were teaching the kids how to use electronic stuff. My daughter is the drummer, my son uses the mixer-board.”

The family — like many folks during quarantine — have had to take up homeschooling due to the pandemic.
“I want Donald Trump to know I want my kids in school,” Arnold said in a message to the President. “We all want our kids in school. Nobody wants their kids at home. The moment they can get in school, my kids are going to get in school.”
On July 17, a judge ruled that the actor’s children will split their time evenly during the week between Arnold’s home and Groussman’s home.
“This judge could put me in jail if I’m a jerk or her if she had custody. They don’t care,” Arnold told us. “Their only concern is the kids, and that’s all I ever wanted was somebody that just looked out for the kids.”
Reflecting upon his recent split to Groussman after more than 10 years of marriage, Arnold said he is “happily divorced.”
“I’m happy for everybody in my life,” he added. “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.”
