Jordan Peele and Wife Chelsea Peretti's Relationship Timeline

Publish date: 2024-08-05

Jordan Peele and his wife, Chelsea Peretti, eloped and got married in April 2016. But their wedding was kept a private affair.

Peele only confirmed his marriage when he appeared on Late Night with Seth Meyers with Keegan-Michael Key on April 25, 2016. In a skit, the director and Key helped fans distinguish them apart.

Just then, Peele stated, "I'm married to actress Chelsea Peretti," receiving cheers from the crowd. "And I am not married to actress Chelsea Peretti. We're just dating," Key jokingly added.

The very next day, Peele's wife confirmed the marriage through an Instagram post, revealing they had eloped.

She shared a photo of their pooch sitting next to a bouquet and a wedding band. In the caption, the actress announced, "eloped a bit ago, our only witness was this lil guyï¸."

In 2018, during Peretti’s appearance on Conan, she detailed their wedding and explained that they eloped in Big Sur. A woman named Soaring officiated at their wedding that saw their dog as the only guest.

Since the wedding, Peele and his wife have occasionally shared major milestones in their relationship.

Below is a timeline of the couple’s relationship from when and how they met to the present date.

And they started talking after Peele was very complimentary of the web series she once did.

As for their first date, she added they were supposed to go to Sizzler but trailed off. Eventually, they started living together.

Before the Brooklyn Nine-Nine star confirmed how they met, there was a rumor her co-star Andy Samberg had a hand in the pair getting together.

Though it made for a good story, the rumor turned out to be a bust.

Throughout her pregnancy, she shared updates on how things were going. She didn’t shy away from posting random mirror selfies with a dose of comedy.

Peele admitted to People in March 2017 that the baby announcement was inevitable. “It got to the point where hiding it really wasn’t an option,” he explained about his wife’s bump.

The actor also remarked, “This child will be comedy gold.”

On July 1, 2017, the couple welcomed a baby boy, Beaumont Gino Peele. The duo has kept their boy away from the media and has only shared photos without revealing his face.
