Selling Sunset’s Chelsea Lazkani Faces Social Media Blunder Amid Divorce

Chelsea Lazkani suffered a social media blunder on Monday as she shared a clip from a ‘date’ she was on in Los Angeles. 

The Selling Sunset star, 32, split from husband Jeff last year and while she has been declared legally single, she is said to still be negotiating a divorce settlement.

Yet Chelsea was keen to show the world she was moving on as she took to Instagram to share a video of herself at a swanky restaurant, captioning the video: ‘On a date kinda nervous…’ 

However, visible in the video there was clearly another woman’s clutch bag and a camera, suggesting that her ‘date’ was nothing more than a social media opportunity taken by a friend. 

MailOnline has contacted Chelsea’s representatives for comment.

In December it was reported that Chelsea and Jeff whose divorce has played out in public on her Netflix reality series, had been declared legally single.

However, the exes still had the potentially difficult task of divvying up their assets before their divorce could be finalized. 

Although Chelsea was the first of the two to file for divorce, the process was slowed down as they struggled to come to a swift agreement on a settlement.

In his previous filing, Jeff reportedly told the judge that he and his ex would still settle custody and support issues regarding their children, as well as their asset split, once they were both declared single.

Chelsea had previously requested joint physical and legal custody when she filed for divorce. 

The real estate expert and her ex-husband — who is a managing partner at the ad agency Icon Media Group, which was founded by his mother — share two children: son Maddox Ali Lavon, five, and daughter Melia Iman, four.

The Selling Sunset star previously filed to divorce her estranged husband in March of this year, citing irreconcilable differences.

A week after her filing, Jeff shared his own filing, which also cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split, though he accused Chelsea of being ‘physically aggressive’ in his documents.

He accused her of hitting him in the face shortly before his filing, which allegedly broke his glasses and gave him a small cut.

He also accused her of installing a lock on the master bedroom of their $2.9 million, five-bedroom Manhattan Beach home — which he said he is the primary owner of — and of remotely monitoring his visits to the home.

Jeff claimed in his filing that his reality star wife had been ‘exhibiting suspicious behavior,’ and he claimed that some of his personal belongings had disappeared from the home.

Due to their conflict over the marital home, Jeff had requested that the judge overseeing their divorce prevent either of them from living full-time at the home.

Instead, he request that Chelsea only be allowed in the house for two hours at a time while under supervision. 

The two had been married since 2017, when they tied the knot at the Resort at Pelican Hill in Newport Beach, California.

In 2022, Chelsea revealed to DailyMail.com that her future husband was her first Tinder date after she moved to Los Angeles.

The real estate agent, who was born in North London to Nigerian immigrant parents, said she had only planned to live in California as long as it took to get her MBA, so she was hesitant to put herself on the dating market.

But after giving the dating app a try around 2015, she and Jeff instantly clicked.

‘We spoke about 15 times before getting together. I don’t want to waste my time and give my energy to somebody if I don’t think it will be worth it,’ she explained.

 ‘I felt like I knew him before we even met, and the connection was immediate.’
