Jeff Lazkani is no longer Chelsea Lazkani's husband. Although their divorce has yet to be finalised, the pair was legally declared single by a California judge in December 2024. In a chat with Entertainment Tonight about three months earlier, the British-Nigerian realtor revealed she considers her "failed marriage" a "success".
My marriage was so beautiful while it lasted. I got two beautiful children from it, and I would never choose any other man to be their father. Honestly, I would never rewrite the years I spent with Jeff even if I were paid $10 billion.

Extending my stay in Los Angeles was the best decision I ever made.

Chelsea's Selling Sunset co-star accuses Jeff of infidelity
On 27 March 2024, TMZ reported that Chelsea had filed for divorce from Jeff, seeking joint custody of their kids and spousal support. During a September 2024 episode of Selling Sunset, Chelsea's frenemy, Bre Tiesi, told her that a friend-of-a-friend had seen her husband "making out" with another woman in a hotel lobby. She added:
I wanted to come to you woman-to-woman because I have been here; my ex-husband was cheating on me with multiple women. This is not something I would wish on my worst enemy.
Jeff labels Chelsea as a "physically violent" person
On 2 April 2024, Jeff responded to the divorce filing, claiming that Chelsea once hit his face, breaking a glass that resulted in a minor cut on his face.
According to court documents obtained by People, he also accused her of "suspicious behaviour" after some of his possessions, including a Rolex, went missing in their house after she filed for divorce.
Jeff further claimed the realtor denied his request to share a bedroom after the birth of their two kids. Chelsea and Jeff were officially declared legally single on 10 December 2024, while they continue to negotiate the terms of their divorce settlement.

He denied ever cheating on Chelsea in 2025
Jeff told his "side of the truth" about their divorce in a lengthy Instagram post on 4 December 2025. According to US Weekly, he wrote:
For two years, I sat idly as misinformation about me spread. My marriage with Chelsea ended long before any of the allegations were made for reasons best known to us. However, somehow I was painted as the villain in the story. People must realise reality TV is not real.
The business executive went on to share that he will always have love for the mother of his kids:
I will always be connected to Chelsea because of the wonderful humans we created. We share a good co-parenting relationship because, at the end of the day, it is all about our kids.
