Chelsea Lazkani, a star on the reality TV show “Selling Sunset,” has filed for divorce from her husband Jeff Lazkani after more than six years of marriage. The reason for their split was cited as “irreconcilable differences” in court documents obtained by Page Six. It is unclear when the couple decided to end their marriage, as Chelsea wrote “TBD” as their separation date. Whether or not they had a prenuptial agreement is also unknown, but Chelsea is asking for spousal support. She is seeking joint physical and legal custody of their two young children and is requesting that Jeff pay for her legal fees.
Chelsea has removed all pictures of Jeff from her social media accounts, although it is unclear when she did this. Chelsea, a London native, had not intended to move to the United States before meeting Jeff, who is a managing partner at Icon Media Direct. She joined “Selling Sunset” in 2022 during Season 5. In a now-deleted Instagram post before her wedding in 2017, Chelsea expressed that moving to Los Angeles and falling in love with Jeff was the best decision she had ever made.
Chelsea revealed in a 2022 interview that Jeff was her first date from the dating app Tinder when she arrived in Los Angeles. Despite speaking only about 15 times before meeting in person, Chelsea felt an immediate connection with Jeff. She expressed her love and admiration for him in various social media posts, wishing for 100 more years of hugging, kissing, and laughing together. Chelsea and Jeff tied the knot on August 12, 2017, in a fairytale wedding, which Chelsea described as her favorite day.
The couple has two children together, a son named Maddox, who is 5 years old, and a daughter named Melia, who is 3 years old. Chelsea is seeking joint custody of the children, indicating that she wants to be actively involved in their lives despite her divorce from Jeff. She is also asking Jeff to cover her legal expenses, suggesting that she may be facing financial challenges as a result of the divorce. The divorce proceedings are likely to be followed closely by fans of “Selling Sunset” who are interested in the personal lives of the show’s cast members.
The specific details of the divorce settlement between Chelsea and Jeff remain undisclosed. As they navigate the process of ending their marriage, both parties may face emotional and logistical challenges. However, Chelsea’s focus on seeking joint custody of their children indicates that she wants to prioritize their well-being and stability during this difficult time. Chelsea’s followers on social media and viewers of “Selling Sunset” may be surprised by this news but will likely show support for her as she goes through this significant life change. Only time will tell how Chelsea and Jeff will proceed following the dissolution of their marriage.
