Chris Distefano Wife Jazzy: Brooklyn Love, Blended Family, and Comedy Chaos
If you’ve ever watched Chris rant about his kids and home life on Chrissy Chaos or Hey Babe! and then gone to Google “Chris DeStefano wife,” you’re really asking, “Who is this woman he keeps talking about?” The answer is Jasmine “Jazzy” Canuelas: a Brooklyn-raised fitness trainer, mom of three, and the very real person behind so many of his wild stories.
Who Is Jazzy, Really?
On paper, she’s Jasmine Canuelas, but everyone calls her Jazzy. She grew up in Brooklyn in a tight Puerto Rican family, which explains a lot once you hear Chris talk about her—she’s tough, direct, funny, and absolutely not impressed by his “I’m a comedian” energy.
Before anyone knew her as “Chris Distefano’s wife,” she was building a life centered on movement and mental health. She became a certified personal trainer and group fitness instructor, teaching spin, Zumba, and high-intensity classes around New York. Over time she developed her own style, often called the “Jazzy Method,” focused especially on moms trying to feel like themselves again after pregnancy.
What makes her stand out is that she doesn’t talk about fitness like it’s just about looking good. She’s open about how working out helped her deal with anxiety and postpartum depression, and she talks to her clients—and online followers—like real people who are exhausted, overwhelmed, and still trying to show up for themselves.
Are They Married or Engaged?
Here’s where things get a little confusing. A lot of people (and plenty of websites) casually talk about her as “Chris Distefano’s wife,” and in day-to-day life, that’s how she functions: they live together, raise kids together, and he talks about her like a spouse.
Legally, though, they’re not quite there yet. After about ten years together, Chris announced in early 2025 that they had just gotten engaged. He told the story on TV, saying they’d been together a decade, had three kids, and he finally decided to make it official with a proposal at home, in front of the kids.
So technically she’s his fiancée, but when people say “Chris Distefano wife,” they’re not exactly wrong in spirit. They’re building a life like any married couple—papers or not.
How Chris and Jazzy Met
Their meet-cute could not be more Brooklyn.
Back in 2014, they both ended up at Place To Beach, a bar in Coney Island. Chris has told the story over and over on podcasts: he saw Jazzy dancing and was instantly hooked. She wasn’t trying to impress him, she was just out having fun.
They started talking, went on a date, then another. Before long, things got serious—fast. Jazzy became pregnant early in the relationship, and suddenly this Staten Island comic who still felt like a kid himself was staring down real adulthood: a partner, a baby, a ready-made stepson, and bills that didn’t care what kind of set he had at the Comedy Cellar.
Their relationship hasn’t been perfectly smooth. Both of them have mentioned that they broke up and got back together more than once over the years. But every time, they found their way back to each other, and the family kept growing.
A Blended Family of Five
When Chris jokes onstage about being outnumbered, he’s not exaggerating. Together, he and Jazzy are raising three kids.
Jazzy’s oldest, Tristan, is from a previous relationship. Chris talks about him simply as “my son,” which tells you a lot about how seriously he takes that role. Then came their daughters together: Delilah, born in 2015, and little Violette, born in 2021. If you listen to the podcasts, you hear their names constantly—usually in stories about tantrums, school drop-offs, and tiny humans absolutely roasting him.
The house they’ve built feels chaotic but warm: kids running around, a dog in the mix, Jazzy trying to keep everyone moving and alive while Chris disappears to go talk about them into a microphone. It’s funny, but it’s also pretty clear that he loves being a dad, and that he’s proud of the messy version of family they’ve created.
Jazzy’s World Beyond Comedy
It would be easy to think of Jazzy as just “the one he jokes about,” but she has her own thing going on.
She built a career in fitness long before most of Chris’s fans knew her name. She teaches classes, works one-on-one with clients, and runs online programs aimed at women who feel intimidated by the traditional gym world—especially moms who don’t recognize their own bodies after kids.
A lot of what she shares online is about finding small, realistic ways to move and feel better, instead of chasing some impossible “bounce back” fantasy. She talks about being tired, about carrying mental load, about feeling disconnected from yourself and slowly getting that back. That honesty is a big reason women connect with her, whether they even know who she’s engaged to or not.
In the simplest terms: Chris fills comedy clubs; Jazzy fills workout rooms. They overlap, but neither exists solely because of the other.
How He Talks About Her on Stage and Off
On podcasts and in stand-up, Jazzy is basically his co-star—even when she’s not physically there.
He describes her as the no-nonsense Brooklyn Latina who sees straight through him, calls him on his nonsense, and will absolutely fight him over the thermostat. He jokes about how she walked into his life with a kid and a look that said, “You ready for this or not?” and how that moment forced him to grow up faster than he’d planned.
But buried inside the jokes is a lot of respect. When he talks about Tristan, he doesn’t use qualifiers—he just calls him his son. When he talks about his girls, there’s a real softness there, even when he’s exaggerating for laughs. And when he talks about Jazzy, there’s always a line or two about how she saved him from himself, pushed him to be better with money, better with time, better as a father.
The comedy makes it big and loud. The underlying story is pretty simple: he knows he wouldn’t have the life he has now without her.
