Benjamin Ashford|Selling Sunset’s Chelsea Lazkani Reveals How She’s Navigating Divorce “Mess”

This time,MessBenjamin Ashford the deed to drama is under Chelsea Lazkani's own name. 

The reality star recently alluded to how her recent split from ex Jeff Lazkani after seven years of marriage will play a part in the drama of the upcoming Selling Sunset season. 

"I'm in mess again," Chelsea admitted in an exclusive E! News interview June 15 at the Critics Choice Real TV Awards, which is available now on CCA's YouTube, X and Facebook channels. "I done did it again. I know, I'm so sorry."

And while fans of the Netflix real estate series can attest to Chelsea's fair share of drama, she noted that her behavior is not the root cause this time. 

"I'm not a mess this time, I'm in mess," she clarified. "Usually I create it, this time I landed right in it."

Thankfully, Chelsea noted dealing with her drama won't be a solo listing with costars Chrishell Stause and Emma Herman as constant sources of comfort.

"Chrishell and Emma, who are my best friends in the entire world, they've been my rocks throughout this season," she gushed. "The funny thing is that when you associate yourself with the mess, you end up in mess too. So, unfortunately, they got themselves intertwined a little bit but they're here for it."

The 31-year-old's update on the upcoming Selling Sunset season—which does not yet have a premiere date—comes just one month after she gave an update following her divorce from Jeff in March. 

"I'm doing good," she told Access Hollywood in May. "Ups and downs, take every day as it comes, but today I'm doing really good."

Following Chelsea's divorce filing, her estranged husband—with whom she shares kids Maddox, 5, and Melia, 3—requested possession of the couple's Manhattan Beach, Calif., beach property, and alleged "violent" behavior from the Selling Sunset star (E! News reached out to Chelsea's team for comment on Jeff's accusation but has not heard back.)

Although Chelsea has not yet addressed Jeff's claims, she requested joint custody of their children, and cited "irreconcilable differences" in her initial divorce proceedings. And despite their separation, the Oppenheim Group agent has spoken highly of her ex in the past. 

"I think having the support of my husband and my family really essentially prepared me to take on this big role and this big opportunity," she told People of her Selling Sunset role in 2022. "But for me personally, I saw this as an opportunity to really open doors in an industry that has lacked diversity and where minorities are underrated."

Jason was on the market for a while before sparking romance rumors with tennis player Genie Bouchard in January 2024, though it's unclear where they stand.

The Oppenheim Group owner previously dated real estate agent Chrishell Stause for seven months but they broke up because, as she put it, "our ideas for family" were ultimately not "aligned."

He also dated model Marie Lou Nurk for 10 months before their split in May 2023.

Chrishell married nonbinary musician G Flip in May 2023.

In a May 2022 Instagram video, Chrishell opened up about her relationship with the 27-year-old. "I am attracted to masculine energy and I don't really care about what the physical form is," she explained. "With G, they identify as nonbinary. They really feel like they are a mix. They identify on both sides of male and female. I personally find [it] such a beautiful mix and it's probably why we did connect on such a deep level so quick."

Brett sparked romance rumors with tattoo artist Samantha Abdul in 2022, after dating Australian model Tina Louise.

Though we caught a glimpse of their relationship in season five, the duo went public with their romance in April 2021 but broke up eight months later.

Sound like a similar timeline to Jason? Must be twin telepathy!

Christine Quinn married tech CEO Christian Dumontet—who goes by Christian Richard in the show—in 2019, though they called it quits in 2024 after the reality star accused him of domestic violence that "resulted in injury" of their son Christian Georges Dumontet. (Christian has denied the allegations.) 

Prior to their breakup, the couple started their own real estate company called RealOpen, which allows buyers to purchase a home using cryptocurrency.

Heather Rae Young married HGTV's Tarek El Moussa on Oct. 23, 2021. 

The day before the wedding, Tarek—who was previously married to Flip or Flop costar Christina Haack—wrote on Instagram, "If you had asked me four years ago I would've told you I was never getting married again and honestly I didn't even think I would find love. Then one day Heather jumped onto my boat, looked at me, smiled and the rest is history. Thank god for that day."

The two welcomed their first baby together in February 2023.

Mary Bonnet married Romain Bonnet in 2019 during season one of Selling Sunset! 

But while we got to see the two love birds tie the knot, Mary's rep confirmed to People that they actually had "a civil union a couple of months before the show began filming in June of 2018, but they chose not to tell any of their friends or family, as they were still trying to see if their relationship would work out in the long term."

She shared in April 2023 that she suffered a septic miscarriage.

She married Jeff Lazkani in 2017 but filed for divorce in March 2024 over irreconcilable differences.

They share two children:Maddox Ali Levon and Melia Man.

Emma is single and ready to mingle! 

The real estate agent revealed to Today that she is "single and dating" and "open to a relationship," adding that she is "open to something moving a little bit more serious."

So what happened to Selling Sunset property developer Micah McDonald? After being seen flirting it up in season five, Emma says they still talk and "have a great relationship."

"TBD what happens with that," she told Today.

Amanza, who has two children with ex-husband and NFL star Ralph Brown, keeps her relationship status on the DL.

In an April 2022 E! News interview, she revealed that she's been in a secret relationship.

"That's the one thing that I've been able to keep a secret, so now it's almost like a goal," she said. "I'm glad that it's gone this long and if it comes out, it comes out. But it's almost fun to keep that private."

But by the following August, Amanza and land developer David LaQua made things Instagram official.

Maya Vander has been married to her husband David Miller since 2017 and they went on to welcome children Aiden Vander and Elle Vander.

In December 2021, Maya tragically lost her third child during a stillbirth at 38 weeks pregnant. In May 2023, the pair welcomed a baby girl named Emma.
