Despite being married to one of the most popular comedians in the world, Elaine has maintained a very low profile. She was born on 31st August 1974 in Brooklyn New York, and is now 49 years old.

According to records, the celebrity wife was initially interested in becomimg a professional chef, but following her marriage to Dave, she decided to be a stay-at-home mom, taking care of the kids and her husband. Meanwhile, she offers great support to her husband’s career. For more than 2 decades now, she has remained one of the strongest forces in the life of the comedian cum actor.

Despite living her life privately, Sanaa’s mother occasionally attends public events with her husband. Moreover, Dave has severally featured her character in his jokes as well as other members of the family. With their kids now all grown, Elaine might now be running a business that is not known to the public.

Meanwhile, Elaine Chappelle was born into a Christian home and she has continued practicing Christianity to date. She did not join her husband and their three children to convert to Islam.

Sanaa Chappelle’s parents, Dave Chappelle and Elaine Chappelle, have been married for 22 years. The couple met in the 1990s in New York after Dave moved to the city to pursue a career as a comedian. According to Dave, it was love at first sight for him. Although Elaine initially had some reservations about dating him, she later gave him a chance.

They dated for a few years and got married in a small wedding ceremony in 2001 in New York. Since then, they have been living together peacefully and there has not been any sort of rumor or scandal against their union. At the time of Sanaa’s birth, her parents have already spent 8 years in marriage. She is the youngest child and the only daughter of her parents.

Sanaa Chappelle Has Two Siblings 

Sanaa is one of her parent’s three children. Her two siblings, Sulayman Chappelle and Ibrahim Chappelle, are currently 22 and 20 years old respectively. Born in 2001, her oldest brother, Sulayman, has an interest in boxing and started boxing in his high school days.

Although he is not yet a professional boxer, Sulayman is currently training at Pacquiao’s Boxing Gym under the tutelage of Freddie Roach, Dave’s close friend who is one of the best boxing trainers in the States.

Sanaa’s second brother, Ibrahim, was born on 11th April 2003 and has not yet carved any career path. He has also not shown any interest in following his father’s footsteps. Although he once revealed that he loves comedy, the 20-year-old has made it clear that he prefers Kevin Hart’s comedy to that of his father.

Dave Chappelle’s Daughter Has Interest in Becoming an Actress

The only daughter of Dave Chappelle, Sanna Chappelle, has been passionately showing interest in following her father’s footsteps in the entertainment industry. She, however, focuses on acting rather than comedy. She made her first screen appearance when she was 9 years old in the 2018 film A Star is Born where she shared the screen with her famous father.

However, this has remained her only movie credit to date. But, the young talent seems to have plans of continuing on the career path as she has a profile on Backstage, a platform that allows movie stars and film industry workers to access auditions, casting calls, and roles. Fans are hopeful that she would eventually end up becoming an actress and as such, be the only one of Dave’s children that will take after him.

Sanaa seems to have a close bond with her celebrity dad. Even though she is mostly away from the spotlight, she has made a couple of appearances with her father at events such as the premier of A Star is Born at the Toronto International Film Festival. Other than Sanaa, neither Sulayman nor Ibrahim has an interest in their father’s career path.

Regardless, the father of three has declared his willingness to support each of his children in whatever career path they choose. Dave and his wife are raising their children together and from all indications, they are in agreement to raise them completely away from the media, as none of them has an active presence on any social media platform. The family of five live together happily in their home in Yellow Springs, Ohio, United States.
