Chelsea Lazkani’s estranged husband, Jeff Lazkani, responded to her divorce filing by filing his own paperwork seeking divorce due to irreconcilable differences. Jeff accused Chelsea of exhibiting suspicious behavior throughout their marriage, including the disappearance of his personal belongings after Chelsea filed for divorce and an alleged incident where she struck him in the face. He also claimed that Chelsea provocates him and records him in an attempt to catch him overreacting. Jeff requested exclusive use and possession of their shared home, which he has been the primary owner of since 2018, citing concerns for the well-being of their children.
According to Us Weekly, Chelsea filed for divorce after seven years of marriage, seeking joint physical and legal custody of their children. She also requested spousal support, but did not request the court to terminate Jeff’s ability to ask for alimony. In response, Jeff stated that he does not want the court to award spousal support to either party. He expressed shock at finding out about the divorce through a text message from a media outlet and claimed that Chelsea opened a separate bank account around the time she filed. Jeff also revealed that they have not slept in the primary bedroom together since shortly after their second child was born.
Chelsea and Jeff met on Tinder in 2015 when she visited the U.S. and ultimately chose to stay in Los Angeles after they began dating. They got married after two years of dating, and viewers of Selling Sunset got a glimpse into their relationship when Chelsea joined the cast in season 5. Chelsea’s decision to end her marriage could potentially be featured in the upcoming season of the show, as the cast confirmed during the season 7 reunion that the series had been picked up for more episodes.
Overall, the divorce proceedings between Chelsea Lazkani and Jeff Lazkani seem to be complex, with accusations of suspicious behavior, physical altercations, and concerns about the well-being of their children. Both parties have filed for divorce and are seeking different outcomes in terms of custody arrangements and financial support. The details of their relationship and the reasons for their divorce could potentially be explored in future episodes of Selling Sunset, where Chelsea is a cast member. It remains to be seen how the situation will unfold and how the couple will navigate their separation while considering the best interests of their children.
