Chelsea Ambriz, the NBC 6 meteorologist, needs no explanation on how talented she is. But is her relationship as successful as her career? Many wonder if the 32-year-old has a husband.
With nearly a decade-long career in meteorology, she got wide exposure as a meteorologist on WeatherNation TV. After 3 years in the channel, she left and joined NBC 6, as its weekend meteorologist in the 2022 fall.
A graduate of the University of Denver, Ambriz previously worked for channels like WBBJ TV and WSAZ-TV.
It’s not only her broadcasting career and relationship talks that keep her in focus. The American meteorologist was charged with assault on her co-worker back in 2018 fall and later found not guilty.
Does Chelsea Ambriz Have A Husband? Relationship Status
Long answer short- no, Chelsea is not married yet. While there are trending searches about “Chelsea Ambriz’s husband”, seems the American meteorologist has yet to find one.
Many even surf through her social media profiles, Instagram (@c_ambriz) and Twitter (@ChelseaAmbrizTV), in hopes of finding out hints about her relationship.
However, the brown-eyed brunette barely posts about her romantic life. So far, no official confirmation of Chelsea’s dating story is out let alone, the talk of her husband.
Although some sources pointed out that she is dating her boyfriend, Ben, no substantial proof of it remains.
It’s no wonder that fans come up with variations of arguments regarding her love life, but for the time being, it is safe to assume she could be possibly single.
But she is a mom- well, a cat mom to be exact. Ambriz is fond of cats; she owned a Tuxedo cat named Oliver (who died on January 27, 2022).
Rather, Chelsea Ambriz’s sister Emily has a husband, Joe Huff; they married on May 31, 2022, after 3 years of dating.
Ambriz’s Family: Details On Parents & Siblings
