Chelsea and Jeff’s relationship began on Tinder, where Chelsea initially didn’t plan to stay in California. Their connection was immediate, leading to a major decision to remain in Los Angeles. The couple’s wedding in 2017 took place at the Resort at Pelican Hill, with Chelsea donning a Zuhair Murad gown and Jeff wearing a Tom Ford tuxedo.
They share two children: Maddox Ali Lavon, born in January 2019, and Melia Iman, born in November 2020. Chelsea has frequently shared family moments on Instagram.
