After watching his special, you might find yourself wanting to know more about him. No worries! We shared all the juicy deets about Pete Holmes right below, including information about his relationship status.
Pete is more than just a comedian and actor. He’s also a writer, producer, and podcaster. Honestly, he’s a jack of all trades. Born and raised in Massachusetts, Pete went on to attend and graduate from Gordon College with a degree in English and Communications in 2001. While studying there, he joined an improv comedy troupe called “The Sweaty-Toothed Madmen.” Although his mom wanted him to be a youth pastor, Pete realized that he had a true passion for comedy and chose to go down that path instead.
As he worked to get his comedian career off the ground, he lived in several different places, such as New York, Chicago, and California. In the early 2010s, he launched his own podcast called You Made It Weird with Pete Holmes as well as released his first stand-up special.
He even created his own late-night talk show called The Pete Holmes Show, which ran on TBS for two seasons. However, what he’s best known for is his comedy-drama series Crashing, which aired on HBO for three seasons. Additionally, his other comedy specials include Impregnated with Wonder (2011), Nice Try, The Devil (2013), Faces and Sounds (2016) and Dirty Clean (2018).
As of October 2023, Pete is currently married to a woman named Valerie Chaney. She is pictured above. Although her current occupation is unknown, it appears she frequently teaches dance classes at different dance studios according to her Instagram posts.
Pete and Valerie got married on Oct. 28, 2017, after they had been reportedly dating for three years. In October 2022, Valerie shared two cute photos from their wedding day on her Instagram to commemorate their 5-year wedding anniversary. They also share a daughter together named Lila, who was born in September 2018.
Who was Pete Holmes’s first wife?
Pete’s first wife was reportedly named Rebecca. They got married when Pete was 22 years old, but divorced six years later. Pete was trying to get his stand-up comedy career off the ground around the time they got married. According to The Cinemaholic, the divorce stemmed from Rebecca being unfaithful and having an affair with another man named Rocko. Pete later dated his Crashing co-star Jamie Lee for about 11 months.
