Chelsea Lazkani, known for her star turn on Selling Sunset, is bidding adieu to her marriage of nearly seven years, filing for divorce from husband Jeff Lazkani.
In classic Hollywood fashion, the split is attributed to “irreconcilable differences,” according to court documents obtained by PEOPLE. However, unlike a luxury home with a questionable past, this breakup is not staged for drama.
The couple, who shares two children, Maddox Ali Lavon and Melia Iman, is navigating the choppy waters of joint custody and spousal support as they part ways.

Chelsea’s journey to stardom, both personally and professionally, has been intertwined with Jeff’s. Their love story, documented in a since-deleted Instagram post, captured hearts with its transatlantic allure, as Chelsea confessed, “I stayed because I fell in love.”
Yet, beyond the romantic narrative lies a professional partnership that shaped Chelsea’s career trajectory. Jeff’s connection to Jason Oppenheim, founder of the Oppenheim Group, paved the way for Chelsea’s entry into the elite world of luxury real estate and reality TV.
“I knew Jason through my husband,” Chelsea recounted in a Vogue interview, shedding light on her unconventional path to Selling Sunset. “You kind of see how it played out on screen. I wasn’t sure whether I was going to get in or not.”
Despite the sun setting on Chelsea and Jeff’s union, the curtain has not closed on Chelsea’s real estate empire, proving that in the world of reality TV, the show must go on.
