The Truth About Anthony Mackie's Ex-Wife

Posted by Chauncey Koziol on Monday, July 22, 2024

After being "on-and-off since they were in grade school," Anthony Mackie reconnected with Sheletta Chapital in their shared New Orleans hometown while Mackie was in production on The Hurt Locker in 2008, according to Page Six. The couple reportedly rekindled their childhood romance at a Hurricane Katrina benefit rock concert, per Stars Offline. As the actor revealed on The Late Late Show with James Corden in 2015, "She put her number in my phone, and it's been dope ever since."

Mackie and Chapital secretly tied the knot in a "low-key and super relaxed" ceremony held in the Dominican Republic in December 2014, where Mackie was shooting the movie, Our Brand Is Crisis, Page Six reported the following June. The duo already shared two sons prior to getting married, and had another two children together, before quietly filing for divorce in 2017. Per TMZ, their amicable divorce was finalized two years later, and the former couple currently share joint custody of their four children. 

For her part, Chapital tends to keep a low profile and has very little social media presence. Her single tweet from April 2009 shared her discomfort during pregnancy: "Why don't we tell women that pregnancy lasts for 10 months, not 9! Yes, I'm still fat, uncomfortable and waiting for my son to arrive." As of this writing, she still shares Mackie's last name on Facebook. It seems like Mackie's true superpower is keeping his private life pretty much invisible!
