Hi everyone. I’ve got something personal to share that I would like you to hear directly from me. It’s with sadness I say that earlier this year, my marriage to Mike came to an end. As I’m sure many of you can appreciate, it has been a difficult and deeply personal thing to go through. Thank you for respecting our privacy as we both now move forward with our lives.
She moreover added:
I just want you to know that although it was a sad time, I am okay, and looking now to the future. I will always love and respect Mike and I am grateful for the time we had together.

During an interview with NEXT magazine, she revealed the reason for their divorce saying:
All of a sudden, I realised that I wasn’t really happy living in Auckland anymore. On paper everything was great – it was a nice house in a nice area – but I wasn’t feeling fulfilled.
When Mike was asked about the reason for his split with Chelsea on The Bachelorette NZ, he said:
I think we just became different people.
Whatsoever is the reason for their divorce, both of the former partners have moved on their lives after selling their marital home in Pt Chevalier, Auckland.

Chelsea announced the birth of her son via Instagram with a caption:
Say hello to little Sky Leonardo Renall. He was born at home as planned, in a hurry to get here (only about 1.5 hours of established labour says my awesome midwife) a healthy bundle of pure deliciousness. Mama and Papa are kind of bamboozled how they somehow created something so perfect. #mindblown. Sending love to all of you – thank you for your support ♥️ Oh, and Mama is doing super well too.
Currently, Chelsea is spending a beautiful relationship with Douglas as they keep posting pictures together on their social media. We wish Mike good luck on his search for a perfect partner.
