Are Chantel and Pedro divorced in real life?
In a word, no. The divorce has been ongoing since Pedro filed in May 2022. He claims that Chantel withdrew 275k from their joint account and was doing lots of other shady stuff around the time of their separation. Of course, according to Chantel, Pedro was being shady himself for allegedly cheating on her…a lot. They both slapped restraining orders on each other. In other words, it was a total mess. It’s hard to say why the proceedings are dragging out for this long. Sometimes, these things take time, especially when they are as messy as this divorce appears to be.

Chantel and Pedro may decide to provide an update once the legal proceedings are over. Getting a divorce finalized can take anywhere between a few months and 10 years, which is the amount of time it took for Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver to reach an agreement.
