Chelsea Lazkani has become a key player in Selling Sunset since joining the reality real estate show in 2022. Now an established agent at The Oppenheim Group with four seasons to her name, Chelsea knows all too well about the infamous office politics and drama that never ceases to follow the agents around Los Angeles. No longer a newbie – Bre Tiesi, Nicole Young and Alanna Gold have taken that title since Chelsea’s arrival in season five – she is still making waves and is at the heart of the action in season eight. Here is everything you need to know about Chelsea Lazkani…

Is Chelsea Lazkani married?
Chelsea was married to husband Jeff Lazkani for almost seven years but filed for divorce in March this year, citing irreconcilable differences. According to People, Chelsea filed for joint custody of their two children, Maddox and Melia, as well as spousal support from Jeff. A month later, he responded to the filing by saying he also wanted a divorce, and allegedly accused Chelsea of ‘exhibiting suspicious behaviour’ since opting to end their marriage. Elsewhere, he claimed that many of his ‘personal belongings’ had disappeared from their marital home in Manhattan Beach, and claimed that Chelsea had been ‘physically aggressive’ toward him in the past.
In Selling Sunset season eight, Bre Tiesi made Chelsea aware of rumours that Jeff had been unfaithful to her. Viewers don’t see Chelsea confront her husband about the speculation, and it is still unclear whether the rumours are true. While Chelsea later claimed that Bre’s reveal was ‘staged for TV’, a source told US Weekly that the reality star allegedly filed for divorce as she believed Jeff had been unfaithful.
Chelsea and Jeff met on Tinder in 2015 and tied the knot two years later.

What did Chelsea Lazkani say about joining Selling Sunset?
On her debut, Chelsea told People, ‘For me personally, I saw this as an opportunity to really open doors in an industry that has lacked diversity and where minorities are underrated.'
'I feel like with great opportunities comes great responsibility. This was kind of my time to give back and to educate and really mentor and push forward Black women in this luxury sector in real estate. So just knowing that I've got a greater purpose kind of prepared me for this.'
