Prior to marrying Chelsea, Scott Bakula was married to Krista Neumann, with whom he has a daughter, Chelsy, and a son named Cody. They were together during his career beginnings, including his time in the popular TV series “Quantum Leap”, however, the amount of time he spent filming put a toll on his and Krista’s relationship, and the two ultimately separated in 1993, finalizing their divorce in 1995.

Chelsea and Scott married in 2009, after more than 15 years of dating. They first met back in 1993, when they were both working on the movie “Passion to Kill”. In 1995 the couple welcomed their first child, a son named Will, and four years later Chelsea gave birth to their second son, Owen.
Being in his second marriage, Scott apparently didn’t want to fall into the same trap that ended his relationship with his first wife, so he took a new direction when it came to choosing work. His “Star Trek: Enterprise” contract had a clause which required all his scenes to be filmed before 6pm, so that he could be free to go home and dine with his family. When he started filming “NCIS: New Orleans”, Scott would travel back home every weekend, that is, before his wife joined the cast in 2017.
‘I love working with her, we’ve worked together a bunch before’, the actor revealed in an interview he gave for “The Rachel Ray Show”.
Age, height and net worth
Chelsea is 64 years old. She has long brown hair and brown eyes, is 5ft 9ins (1.75m) tall, and weighs around 120lbs (55kgs).
As of January 2022, her net worth has been estimated at more than $500,000.
