Despite their enduring bond, forged in the ’90s, this couple has chosen to shield their relationship and family life from the prying eyes of the public, keeping their love story largely under wraps.
Elaine and Dave opt for a quiet existence in Yellow Springs, Ohio, where they reside away from the hustle and bustle of the spotlight. Their tranquil abode serves as a sanctuary for their family of five, away from the glare of paparazzi and media scrutiny.
While the comedian has faced criticism for controversial remarks in his standup specials, his focus remains on the serenity and simplicity of their Ohioan haven. As he once shared during an interview, “We cherish the peace and privacy that Yellow Springs offers us. It’s our slice of tranquility away from the glitz and glam of Hollywood.”
Dave’s love story with Elaine began in the heart of Brooklyn, New York, long before he became a familiar face in households across the globe. Reflecting on their journey, Dave once quipped to Howard Stern, “She stuck with me through the tough times when I was scraping by.” In 2001, the couple exchanged vows and embarked on their marital adventure, though they’ve chosen to keep the specifics of their wedding day a private affair.
Elaine and Dave have three children- Ibrahim Chappelle, Sanaa Chappelle, and Sulayman Chappelle.
Despite his fame as one of the biggest comedians in the industry, Dave opts for a simple and down-to-earth lifestyle away from the glitz and glamour.
Together with Elaine, Dave resides on a serene 65-acre farm nestled in Yellow Springs, Ohio. During a music festival in Ohio back in 2006, he humbly remarked, “You don’t need a fortune to fit in around here, just a warm smile and a kind heart. You folks are the best neighbors anyone could ask for… that’s why I keep coming back, and that’s why I call this place home.”
