Selling Sunset star Chelsea Lazkani and Jeff Lazkani’s love story began on Tinder.
“We spoke about 15 times before getting together,” she told the Daily Mail in November 2022, confessing that Jess was her first date from the app after moving to Los Angeles. “I don’t want to waste my time and give my energy to somebody if I don’t think it will be worth it. I felt like I knew him before we even met and the connection was immediate.”
Chelsea and Jeff exchanged vows in August 2017 in Newport Beach, California. Less than two years later, the pair welcomed their first child, son Maddox Ali Lavon. Daughter Melia Iman joined their brood in November 2020.
In March 2024, Us Weekly confirmed that Chelsea filed for divorce from Jeff after seven years of marriage, citing “irreconcilable differences.”
