Chelsea Lazkani, known for her role on the hit show “Selling Sunset,” has initiated divorce proceedings from her husband, Jeff Lazkani, marking the end of their marriage that spanned over half a decade. At 31, Chelsea made this significant decision to part ways with 41-year-old Jeff, citing “irreconcilable differences” as the primary cause for the dissolution of their union, according to legal documents obtained by Page Six.
The exact date of their separation remains unspecified, with the documents simply noting “TBD” for the time being, leaving the timeline of their decision to separate unclear. The couple’s journey together began when they met in 2015, eventually leading to their marriage in 2017. Throughout their years together, they welcomed two children into their lives, son Maddox, aged 5, and daughter Melia, aged 3.
As the details of their premarital arrangements are not publicly known, including whether they had a prenuptial agreement, the unfolding legal process reveals Chelsea’s requests. The reality TV personality is seeking spousal support from Jeff and is asking for him to bear the costs of her legal expenses. Furthermore, Chelsea is advocating for shared physical and legal custody of their children, emphasizing the importance of both parents in their upbringing.
In a move reflecting the depth of their estrangement, Chelsea has taken to social media to remove all traces of Jeff from her profiles, deleting every photograph that featured him. This digital erasure underscores the finality of her decision and marks a new chapter in her life, separate from her relationship with Jeff she told the Daily Mail at the time.
“Almost 2 years ago I came to Los Angeles for what was meant to be a ‘short break’. I stayed because I fell in love…It was the best decision I’ve ever made,” Chelsea captioned a since-deleted Instagram photo previously, explaining why she moved to the USA in the first place.
The news of their split comes as a significant development in the lives of the Lazkani family, affecting not only Chelsea and Jeff but also their young children. As they navigate this challenging transition, the focus on custody and support arrangements highlights the complexities involved in dissolving a marriage, especially when young children are involved. This situation also sheds light on the personal challenges faced by public figures, reminding us of the pressures and scrutiny that come with a life in the spotlight.
