Who is Lyssa Chapman married to now?
Lyssa is married to Leiana Evensen, a fitness trainer at The Oahu Club in Honolulu, Hawaii. The couple tied the knot in early June 2022 at a beach wedding in Hawaii along the Pacific Ocean. The TV personality shared pictures of the big day on her Instagram with the caption,
I am now a forever part of the Evensen ohana and I couldn't be more proud. Thank you for loving me and my girls and accepting us into your family with open arms and hearts...It was literally a dream day. I'm so happy, blessed, filled with love and gratitude. I never thought I was worthy or capable of this kind of love.
Leiana and Baby Lyssa started dating in early 2016. They got engaged in December 2017 during a trip to Seattle. While talking about her sexuality, the reality TV star told AmoMama in their March 2021 interview,
People often asked me, 'When did you realize you were gay?' The truth is I feel like sexuality is fluid, and most people are on a spectrum. I think as I came into my adulthood, I was able to experience and figure out where I stood on that spectrum. How do you know if you like cheese if you've never tried it? Kind of like that.

Duan Chapman's daughter lives in Hawaii with her wife, Leiana. In 2019, she launched her online clothing store called Baby by Lyssa Chapman.
Lyssa has also been working with reality TV star Rainy Robinson to find missing children and trafficking victims since 2020. In her interview with The Sun in November 2020, she shared why she chose to use her bounty-hunting skills for the noble cause, saying,
It is a huge calling for us, especially when it comes to children that are getting involved in sexual trafficking and crime...Most of these children are labelled runaways, and a lot of these cases slip through the fingers of the police...We didn't choose this. This is choosing us. People are coming at us at an alarming rate where we have to do something; I can't ignore these babies in my inbox anymore.
The reality TV star will also be returning as a bail bondswoman. In a July 9, 2024, Instagram post, she hinted that her family's show, Dog the Bounty Hunter, will be making a comeback.
