Chelsea Lazkani has been making waves on our TV screens since she joined “Selling Sunset” in season five. The 30-year-old reality star joined the show (and the Oppenheim Group) and immediately started selling homes and letting viewers into her personal life. She married husband Jeff Lazkani in 2017, two years after the pair met in 2015. The duo share two children, son Maddox and daughter Melia. And as Jeff pops up here and there on “Selling Sunset,” fans might want to know more about him. Though he mostly stays out of drama on the show, here’s what we know about Jeff.
Jeff, 40, was born and raised in California. He graduated from the University of San Diego in 2005 with his bachelor’s in business administration, per his LinkedIn. He is the managing partner of Icon Media Direct, which does strategic media planning and media buying.
The pair met in one of the most normal ways possible: they matched on Tinder. “We spoke about 15 times before getting together,” she told the Daily Mail in 2022. “I don’t want to waste my time and give my energy to somebody if I don’t think it will be worth it. I felt like I knew him before we even met and the connection was immediate.” The realtor, who was born in London, also wrote of their connection on Instagram in 2017, “Almost 2 years ago I came to Los Angeles for what was meant to be a ‘short break’. I stayed because I fell in love…It was the best decision I’ve ever made.”
Chelsea wrote a heartfelt tribute to Jeff on their first wedding anniversary back in 2018. “August 12, 2017 will forever be my favorite day,” she shared on Instagram. “You’re the most selfless, caring, funny, cheeky and most handsome person I know. I can’t describe how blessed I feel to share life and love with you. I’m more in love with you today than on our fairytale wedding night. Happy Anniversary to my special, special husband. 100 more years of hugging, kissing and laughing. My forever love.”
