Dave Chappelle tied the knot with his wife, Elaine Chappelle in a private ceremony in 2001. Belonging to a differing religion (Dave being Muslim), one can only imagine the type of wedding they might have had.
Earlier, the pair met in Elaine's hometown, but their love story was anything but a fairytale. It's widely reported Elaine had a hard time falling for Dave. On the other hand, Dave was pretty much head over heels for his future partner.
Elaine's never been fond of fame and spotlight while she prefers to maintain as much distance as possible from controversies. Because of this mindset, Dave was anything but an ideal boyfriend for her. However, as she got closer to him, she began to see the person Dave truly was.

Despite his life in the open, Elaine eventually fell for him after she appealed to his amazing personality away from the cameras.
Meanwhile, Elaine has carried on her values even after marriage. She is rarely seen in public. In fact, she does not even have social media accounts.
As much as she is not fond of public appearances, she is always seen by her husband's side whenever it matters the most. As a matter of fact, the lovebirds made their first public appearance at the annual Philippines-American picnic in Dayton, Ohio in 2010.

My wife is Asian, and my kids have somehow turned out to be Puerto Rican.
Fast forward three years, the comedian during his Netflix special in 2017 expressed humor on the shock realization of his eldest son smoking weed. "That s**t broke my heart," he bantered.

Despite Dave's incredible wealth, the family prefers to live away from Hollywood. The pair moved to Ohio in 2005, where they live in a small peaceful town carrying only a few thousand in population. The duo decided to settle their house there following an amazing reception from the local residents.
Back in 2006, Dave had the kindest message for the residents of his town. The comedian said,
Turns out you don't need $50 million to live around these parts, just a nice smile and a kind way about you. You guys are the best neighbors ever. That's why I came back, and that's why I'm staying.
It goes without saying the couple is enjoying a low-key yet joyful life together.
