If there’s one thing Elaine Chappelle and her family don’t miss, it’s the ability to laugh and maybe also take a joke. And why not? She is married to a laugh box – the famous comedian, Dave Chappelle. Elaine might not be one of the names that come to mind when you think of celebrities, but she is the perfect representative of all the women who work behind the scenes to ensure their man’s success. If you want to know what it’s like to be married and work alongside a famous comedian, Elaine Chappelle will definitely give you some advice.

Elaine Chappelle Biography, Wiki, Husband

She was born Elaine Mendoza Erfe in Brooklyn, New York on August 31, 1974 to Filipino immigrants. Her parents probably left home shortly before Elaine was born to find greener pastures and build a better life for their family. Before marrying the famous comedian, little was known about the life and education of Elaine Chapelle.

She walked down the aisle with Dave Chappelle in 2001 and they’ve been happy ever since. However, it seems that she was initially hesitant to go out with Dave, because she was not comfortable with people with strong personalities. She later married him after a brief courtship, when she discovered that his “strength” was only a disguise to mask her shyness.

Elaine Chappelle is a proud homemaker and homemaker. Before Dave came to her, she dreamed of becoming a chef, but after having children, she decided that she would do better and get more satisfaction and joy from being home to raise her children. Her husband is really proud of her and said that even though she doesn’t work as a professional cook, they regularly eat like royalty at home, thanks to her excellent cooking skills. As of 2017, she is also the manager of a number of rental properties that Dave has purchased all over the state of Ohio.

The Chappelles aren’t known for their public sightings, with one of their rare sightings as early as 2010, when the whole family attended the Filipino-American picnic held in Dayton, Ohio. Also in 2017, Elaine Chappelle was captured in a brief clip from Dave Chappelle’s film. “The Age of Spin: Dave Chappelle in Concert at Hollywood Palladium 2017″. A show that her husband dedicated to her in its entirety. In an interview with MTV, he revealed that Elaine asked him what he would have done if he wasn’t a comedian and he didn’t have an answer. Who would have thought this could happen to someone who speaks for a living.

Elaine Chappelle ethnicity, children, family, height

The Chappelle family is definitely multicultural, and Elaine Chappelle is clearly proud of the cultural and even religious diversity in her home. Dave, whose mother is half-white, is from Washington, while Elaine is from Brooklyn, New York, but of Filipino descent. Obviously from their cultural heritage, Dave once joked that his children turned out to be Puerto Rican. It certainly made some of his fans laugh.

There is also a religious disparity between Elaine Chappelle and her husband. Dave converted to Islam shortly before marrying her, but she was raised in Christianity all her life and refused to give it up after marriage. They live surprisingly well together and sometimes have respectable debates about religion. I guess only time will tell what religion their children will go to, if any.

Speaking of children, Elaine Chappelle and her husband have three beautiful children, two boys and a baby girl. Sulayman Chappelle, Ibrahim Chappelle and Sonal Chappelle reflect their multicultural upbringing.

Elaine Chappelle and her family live in YellowSprings, on a 25-hectare ranch near the college of Antioch where her husband’s father taught music. Elaine may not be comfortable with publicity, however, she and her family love being around good people, which is part of why Dave bought the property they now call home. Dave says their neighbors are the best in the world.

Elaine is definitely an asset to Dave and protecting him from the media onslaught. This was notably when Dave Chappelle walked away from his lucrative career and moved to South Africa after realizing he had not thoroughly dealt with the issues resulting from his father’s death.

Media rumors began to swirl accusing him of leaving his wife and turning to a life of drugs and self-medication. Elaine Chappelle was both angry and shocked. She helped her husband stay in South Africa for as long as he needed to find a solution because she didn’t think he was strong enough to face the media and survive.

Well, it’s back and better and doing more than just comedy, and it’s all thanks to the courage and unwavering support of Elaine Chappelle. Good things come in small packages — and 5-foot-1-inch-tall Elaine Chappelle is definitely a blessing to the Chappelle family.
