The couple met in New York. While Dave was thrilled with the Asian beauty right on their first encounter, Elaine had some reservations about having a serious relationship with him. She was sceptical about dating a star like Chappelle. Nevertheless, she decided to give it a try. They proceed to date until 2001 when they tied the knot in a low-key ceremony. Their marriage has lasted nearly two decades.
During their long-lasting relationship, many of their fans did not know that Elaine existed, let alone know that they were a couple until later in their marriage. They tried to keep their marriage life private. They made their first public appearance at the annual Philippines-American picnic in Dayton, Ohio. It was when fans realized that not only was Dave married, but his wife was of Asian descent.
After introducing the wife to the public, he now shares stories about his relationship in interviews. The couple has also been spotted on many red carpet events together with their children.
