Who Is ESPY Host Anthony Mackie’s Girlfriend? Is Anthony Married?

Anthony Mackie was previously married to his longtime girlfriend, Sheletta Chapital, but he hasn’t been romantically linked to anyone since they quietly divorced in 2018, four years after they tied the knot at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. As far as we know, Anthony Mackie appears to be single.

But before he and his ex-wife decided to call it quits, they had a pretty romantic love story. According to Anthony, he and Sheletta met at only 7 years old and it was love at first sight. He previously told Queen Latifah on an episode of her since-canceled talk show, “I was coming from a very bad school and going to a very good [one].”

In the interview, Anthony recalled the moment he saw his then-wife for the first time, which was on Dr. Seuss Day in the second grade. He went on, “We had the little hot plate out, and the teacher was making green eggs and ham. So, you know, I walk in and I look and I see this girl with these little ratty pigtails and skinny legs and I was like, ‘Wow!’”

Anthony joked that although Sheletta teased him relentlessly in grade school, he couldn’t stay away from her. “She used to beat me up for my lunch money in second grade.” Anthony shared, “You know when you were a kid, you had 25 cents for lunch and I just ended up going to school and she’d punch me and I’d give her my 25 cents. By fifth grade, it was a dollar.”

The reason why Anthony and Sheletta’s longstanding romance came to an end is unknown but reports suggest that their split was amicable. Today, Sheletta lives in New Orleans. How many children did Anthony and his ex-wife have together?
