The Untold Truth Of Dave Chappelle's Wife

Elaine Chappelle (née Elaine Mendoza Erfe) was born to Christian Filipino parents in Brooklyn, N.Y., where she and Dave Chappelle later met, according to Newsweek. The 45-year-old now lives with Chappelle in Yellow Springs, Ohio in a 39-acre home and they share three children: Suleyman, Ibrahim, and Sanaa. 

Originally Elaine wanted to be a chef, but instead decided to be a homemaker once she had kids. As Newsweek pointed out, she doesn't use social media, so it's hard to get much personal information about her. Not only that, but the 46-year-old comedian rarely speaks about his wife in interviews. 

According to a 2014 The New Yorker report, Chappelle joked in a set about how long he and Elaine had been married: "I've been married for twelve years. Imagine talking to the same person for twelve years. What do you have to say?" Elaine also once brought one of their sons to a stand-up show and later told him to ask Daddy what he was talking about, since there were crude jokes in the set. It certainly sounds like they know how to have fun with each other.

As their marriage continues, it's clear Dave and Elaine Chappelle have found what works for them as a couple and for their family as a whole. Maybe opposites do attract? They have to in this case, since the comedian shines in the spotlight and Elaine seems more than happy to stay out of it.
