Sheletta Chapital is a makeup artist who gained fame after becoming the wife of “Avengers: Endgame” star Anthony Mackie. The pair had a long-lasting and discreet relationship that began from their childhood and continued to their adulthood. They are parents to four kids but parted ways in 2017 after being married for three years. Here are some facts about Sheletta Chapital and her life with Anthony Mackie.
Childhood and education
Sheletta Chapital was born in the late 1970s in New Orleans, Louisiana. Her mother’s name is Sheila Chapital, but her father’s name is not known. She went to McMain Magnet Secondary School and then joined Warren Sr High School, where she encountered Anthony Mackie for the first time in the second grade.
Mackie said that he was immediately attracted to Chapital when he saw her with “ratty pigtails and skinny legs” on Dr.Seuss day. He also humorously said that she used to bully him for his lunch money. The two became friends and started dating on and off since they were in grade school.
Career as a makeup artist
After finishing her education, Sheletta Chapital followed a career as a makeup artist. Unfortunately, there are not many details about her professional life as she has kept most of it private. She has a single tweet from April 2009 that shared her discomfort during pregnancy:
“Why don’t we tell women that pregnancy lasts for 10 months, not 9! Yes, I’m still fat, uncomfortable and waiting for my son to arrive.”
She also has a Facebook account that still carries Mackie’s last name, where she occasionally posts pictures of her family and friends. She does not have any other social media presence and tends to avoid the spotlight.
Sheletta Chapital Marriage and divorce with Anthony Mackie
Sheletta Chapital and Anthony Mackie reconnected in their shared hometown of New Orleans while Mackie was filming “The Hurt Locker” in 2008. They reportedly reignited their childhood romance at a Hurricane Katrina benefit rock concert. As Mackie revealed on “The Late Late Show with James Corden” in 2015, “She put her number in my phone, and it’s been dope ever since.”
The pair wedded secretly in a “casual and laid-back” ceremony in the Dominican Republic in December 2014, where Mackie was filming the movie “Our Brand Is Crisis”.
They already had two sons prior to getting married and had another two children together.
However, their marriage did not last long as they quietly filed for divorce in 2017. They parted ways peacefully two years later, and the ex-couple now have joint custody of their four kids.
Mackie has never publicly spoken about the reason for their split, but he has praised Chapital as a great mother and a supportive partner. He has also kept his love life under wraps since then.
Relationship with Anthony Mackie’s fame
Sheletta Chapital was never comfortable with Anthony Mackie’s fame and preferred to stay away from the media attention. She rarely accompanied him to red carpet events or interviews and did not seek any publicity for herself.
Mackie has also been very protective of his private life and his family’s privacy. He once said that he likes to keep his personal life separate from his work life because he does not want his kids to be affected by his celebrity status.
He also said that he does not want his fans to know too much about him because he wants them to focus on his characters and not his personal affairs. He said that he likes to believe that his Marvel alter ego, The Falcon (a.k.a Sam Wilson), was secretly in love with Black Widow (played by Scarlett Johansson), but he never confirmed or denied any real-life romances.
Conclusion
Sheletta Chapital is a makeup artist who was once married to Anthony Mackie, one of the most popular actors in Hollywood. They had a long history together since they were kids but ended their marriage after three years. They have four children together and remain on good terms.
