LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Chelsea Lazkani, the 'Selling Sunset' star, is currently going through a divorce from her husband, Jeff Lazkani. While they are still legally married, the couple is ending their six-year marriage, which has become increasingly complicated due to serious accusations from Jeff.

In response to Chelsea's divorce filing in March 2024, Jeff made some alarming claims. He accused Chelsea of being physically aggressive towards him, alleging that she struck him in the face, which broke his glasses and caused a small cut. Jeff also claimed that Chelsea had been exhibiting suspicious behavior, such as moving or hiding his personal belongings from their Manhattan Beach home. Additionally, Jeff stated that Chelsea had been provoking and recording his reactions, seemingly trying to catch him overreacting to her provocations. He also expressed concerns about Chelsea's influence on their living situation, claiming she installed a lock on their primary bedroom to exclude him.

As they continue the legal process, the accusations and counterclaims and the outcome of these proceedings will determine the final status of their marriage and how they will co-parent their two children, Maddox and Melia.

'Selling Sunset' star Chelsea Lazkani is navigating life after splitting from her husband Jeff Lazkani. The real estate agent, known for her bold personality on the Netflix series, filed for divorce in March 2024 after six years of marriage. Despite the challenges, Chelsea recently shared that she’s handling the situation well.

In an interview with Access Hollywood, Chelsea opened up about her post-divorce journey. “I’m doing good,” she said, acknowledging that it hasn’t always been easy. “Ups and downs, take every day as it comes, but today I’m doing good.”

The divorce has also brought unexpected drama into Chelsea’s life, which she hinted will play a part in the upcoming season of 'Selling Sunset.' “I’m in a mess again,” Chelsea admitted in a separate interview with E! News. “I did it again. I know, I’m so sorry.” However, she was quick to clarify that this time, the drama wasn’t self-created. “Usually I create it, this time I landed right in it.”
