Jeff Lazakani breaks silence on new relationship after divorce from Selling Sunset’s Chelsea
'A bright spot in my life whom I cherish'
Jeff Lazkani recently revealed he’s in a new relationship following his split from Selling Sunset star Chelsea, and now he’s spoken out about it.
In a series of statements posted on his Instagram, he wrote: “After two years of healing and taking my life back, yes, I am dating a new person who I’ve recently met.
“She is kind and loving, a bright spot in my life whom I cherish. No amount of hateful posts or comments will change that.”
He added: “Chelsea and I have moved on, and we are both free to pursue love and happiness, and I truly wish that for her.
“We are both happy in a healthy co-parenting relationship, and that takes work. When everything is boiled down, it is all about our kids.”
Jeff’s new girlfriend is called Elena MiIentigievits, and according to her Instagram she appears to be a very successful Greek volleyball player who has been playing nationally since 2017.
Judging from when Jeff started commenting on her Instagram posts in a more romantic manner, it seems the pair have only been official for a couple of weeks, but they could have been keeping things behind wraps until then.
There are also some pictures on her Instagram story dating back from around 21 weeks ago where she looks like she’s out at dinner with someone else who’s taking her picture, but we can’t be sure whether that was Jeff or not.
Alongside his statement about his new relationship following his divorce, Jeff Lazkani also addressed some of the claims made about him not financially supporting their children that Chelsea made during the Selling Sunset reunion.
He wrote: “Chelsea and I are in a good place, co-parenting our two children with care and love to keep them balanced and healthy as we both have profound care for their well-being.
“It is both of our driving force in every action we take or don’t take. Our kids’ well-being is the most important thing we have in common.”
Jeff added: “Chelsea and I share 50/50 custody of our children and live a few blocks from each other, and yes, I do provide support for my children financially, which was a misstatement of the truth during the recent SS reunion show. I will always look out for the best interest of my children.”
