“Vegas Vacation” actor Chevy Chase has been married to third wife, Jayni Chase, for more than 40 years. The couple share three adult daughters: Cydney, Caley and Emily.
Get to know the comedian’s family.
Who Is Chevy Chase’s Wife, Jayni Chase?
Chevy was married twice before meeting the love of his life in Jayni. The couple met while they were both working on the 1981 film “Under the Rainbow.” (Chevy starred in the film, while Jayni worked as a production coordinator.)
“He flirted with me and pursued me, but I didn’t take it seriously,” Jayni told Barbara Walters during a 1990 interview. “Then, one day, I made a rather-flip remark to him, and I looked and saw that he was hurt by it. And I looked in those brown eyes, and I said, ‘Oh, I think there’s a nice guy there.’ And there is.”
They tied the knot two years later and went on to welcome three daughters together.
Prior to meeting the “Christmas Vacation” actor, Jayni studied communications at the University of California, Santa Barbara.
In addition to being a loving mother, grandmother and wife, Jayni cofounded a CBD company in 2019 called The Pharm Stand after finding the benefits helped her manage her rheumatoid arthritis.
She is also an avid beekeeper and produces her own honey.
“When we were expecting our first daughter, @cydneybartell, my wife, @jaynichase, wanted to do the best she could to make our home healthy and safe for all of us. She has never stopped researching and learning about healthy foods and safe products,” the actor shared in June 2020.
Who Are Chevy Chase’s Daughters?
Chevy and Jayni welcomed three daughters throughout their marriage: Cydney, born in January 1983, Caley, born in January 1985, and Emily, born in September 1988.
Cydney is a singer-songwriter with lots of hobbies, including painting and yoga. She often shares her passions via social media, including videos playing guitar and photos from hikes with her dogs.
The eldest Chase daughterâwho is married to a real estate agent named Ryan Bartellâhas a special bond with her father, who once called his early days as a first-time father, “heaven.“
The couple’s second daughter, Caley is “a well-trained actress.”
“I fell in love with acting and have great respect for the craft,â she said during a 2018 interview with Magic Image Magazine. “I love it more and more as time goes by. As for singing, I grew up singing with my two sisters, both of whom are also very musical, so itâs definitely an important part of who I am.”
She has starred alongside her famous father in works such as “Hotel Hell Vacation,” “Before I Sleep” and “Zombie Town.”
Youngest daughter Emily shares her parents’ love of animals.
“We are big animal people,” she told the New York Post in 2022. “Between us, there are three cats, four dogs, some chickens and a couple of old horses.”
Emily previously worked for the Aspen Center for Environmental Studies before moving to New York City to join the National Audubon Society, according to her LinkedIn.
Emily and husband Alex Baglieri share daughter Ivy Jay Baglieri in August 2024, making Chevy and Jayni grandparents for the first time. The couple are currently expecting their second child.
