Baby Lyssa has even stated about her connection with Evensen on several occasions stating she was the “only one” she wanted to be with. In one of her media interactions, she stated,

Oh my, don’t mess this up and don’t let this one go,” Chapman thought, adding that probably everyone who finds a person they want to spend the rest of their life with feels what she feels for Evensen: a sense of calm and “kind of coming home.”

Lyssa tied the knot with Leiana in 2022

Well, after months of anticipation, Lyssa exchanged vows with Leiana on June 3rd, 2022, in a Hawaiian wedding ceremony in the Pacific Ocean. Lyssa shared the big news from her Instagram channel.

In the post, she wrote,

“Last week Lei and I boarded a boat at 7 in the morning with 7 of our closest family members and we dedicated our love and lives to one another.”

The post further read, “With our feet in the water, we connected ourselves to the power and vastness of the ocean.” 

Lyssa took her wife’s surname and is now known as Lyssa Evensen.

Their Engagement

Lyssa was engaged to her girlfriend Leiana Evensen in 2017. Well, Evensen was the one who popped the question during their trip to Seattle in December 2017.

As expected, Lyssa said yes instantly. While they are already engaged, they have yet to make a formal and specific proposal. When asked about the specific occasion. Chapman stated that she has always imagined it “very small, “in the ocean,” and wearing their bathing suits.”

She further said, “We have flip-flopped back-and-forth a few times between a date and have yet to lock anything down… except for each other.”

Well, now they have certainly held their wedding just like they anticipated.

Lyssa Chapman’s Initial Plan to Marry Leiana Evensen

The star kid and Leianna have been together for more than 5 years, their wedding took a little while to happen. Initially, Duane’s daughter Lyssa had stated on multiple occasions that marriage is just a formality.

According to her, being together and in love is more important than getting married. When asked about her plans to walk down the aisle, she stated,

People always ask us when we’re going to get married but at this point it’s pretty much just some piece of paper. We have completely entangled our lives and we see ourselves as married anyway.

She further added,

Maybe it’s because we’re gay – not to say that just because you’re gay, you don’t want to get married as people fought really hard for their rights, but we are just both really happy with where we are in our relationship right now.

That said, we still hope to see Lyssa and her fiancee Leiana in the wedding gown.

Lyssa Chapman Was Married In The past To Brahman “Bo” Galanti

Prior to beginning a relationship with Leiana, she was married to her husband Brahman “Bo” Galanti. They married on February 20, 2009, in Oahu, Hawaii.

But unfortunately, Lyssa’s relationship with Galanti soon started to turn sour. She also stated that her ex-husband was very abusive. As per the reports by RadarOnline, Bo was violent with Lyssa on multiple occasions including on New Year’s Eve 2010 and on multiple occasions after that.

After several such instances, she reportedly kicked Bo out of the house. As per a source,

She kicked him out of the house in October but he came back. She’s kicked him out a few times. He hurt her back. Gave her bruises, contusions and a black eye.

Lyssa didn’t want to involve the police in the matter and rather took counseling suggesting that she should get out of the marriage.

“She was confused. But then they went to counseling a few times. Even the counselor told her to get out of the marriage.”

Thus, she eventually filed for divorce in February 2011, which was finalized later that year.

She Was Pregnant At 15 With Her First Daughter Abbie

Baby Lyssa has two children Abbie Mae Chapman & Madalynn Grace Galanti. While Madalynn was born with her husband Bo, her first child Abbie was born from an illegitimate relationship.

As per the reports, she got pregnant with Abbie when she was 15, with a guy named Brendan, who was 24 at the time. Well, she revealed the fact publicly during her second pregnancy. Owing to the fact that Brendan had a sexual relationship with a minor, he was arrested for statutory rape.
