Who Is Chanel Iman's Husband? All About NFL Star Davon Godchaux

Supermodel Chanel Iman and NFL player Davon Godchaux are a very famous couple. They had a small, private wedding in 2024. Since then, they have gracefully handled their busy careers, family life, and public events.

This article tells the story of their relationship, from a chance meeting in Miami to their first red-carpet appearance at the Cannes Film Festival. It explains how their work and personal lives connect. Using facts and insider information, we show how their bond grew strong under the pressure of fame.

How Chanel Iman and Davon Godchaux Met

Iman and Godchaux's romance began by chance at a Miami nightclub in late 2021. In the crowded club, they started talking and quickly discovered a shared interest in fashion. Godchaux, who loves high-end fashion, impressed Iman with his knowledge, moving beyond the shallow stereotypes of such meetings.

By April 2022, their relationship went public at the Coachella festival. Paparazzi photographed them in matching outfits. Iman also posted a picture of them on Instagram, which got over 500,000 likes. This felt like a real and natural way to announce their relationship, and fans loved it.

Their pairing is part of a larger trend. A 2023 report found that 28% of famous couples pair a creative star with an athlete. These relationships often last because their skills complement each other. For example, Iman's media savvy pairs well with Godchaux's athletic discipline.

Building Their Life Together

In May 2023, Godchaux proposed to Iman during a trip to Italy. He gave her a custom-made diamond ring. She happily said yes, and they shared the news on Instagram with a photo of the moment and the caption, "She said yes to forever." He had planned it for months, even working with her stylist to get a ring she would love.

This proposal came soon after Iman's divorce was finalized. While quick new relationships can be risky, experts say they work when the couple shares core values. In this case, they had already talked deeply about important topics like family and faith before getting engaged.

Iman announced her pregnancy in April 2023 with a beach photoshoot. Her daughter, Capri, was born on August 8, 2023. The family shared the happy news with a photo online. During her pregnancy, Iman used holistic health methods like yoga and special nutrition, a trend that is becoming more common.

The couple manages a blended family of six children from their previous relationships. They focus on cooperative co-parenting, and Iman's ex-husband and Godchaux are friendly for the kids' sake. Family trips help them bond, and Iman also shares practical parenting advice, like how to manage her daughters' eczema.

Civil Ceremony and Caribbean Voyage

They got married in two parts. First, they had a small legal ceremony at New York City Hall in January 2024. Then, in February, they had a private wedding on a chartered yacht near Anguilla. A famous planner organized the yacht wedding, where a close friend officiated their vows at sunset.

Wedding Details and Fashion

Iman wore a long, elegant ivory gown, and Godchaux wore a custom-made tuxedo. Their jewelry included rings engraved with the location of his proposal. Their daughters were flower girls in matching dresses. The food was a Caribbean-inspired menu with dishes like jerk lobster.

Honeymoon and Celebrations

After the wedding, the couple went island-hopping. They enjoyed relaxing activities like couples' massages and stargazing trips. Later that spring, they held a big party in Miami for their extended family, complete with live music and a custom wedding cake.

Life After 'I Do'

Since 2024, the couple has balanced their two careers while also working together. A 2025 trade moved Godchaux's football team closer to their home in Florida, making life easier. They also showed off their eco-friendly house in a magazine, which has a home gym designed for his recovery from a past injury.
