Chevy Chase has balanced Hollywood stardom with fatherhood for over four decades. The National Lampoon’s Vacation star and his wife Jayni, married since 1982, welcomed three daughters between 1983 and 1988.
The Chase Children
Cydney Chase (Born 1983)
The couple’s first child arrived on January 4, 1983. Chevy told News Of Los Angeles he was “terrified” before her birth but fell in love immediately when he saw his daughter.
Today Cydney works as a singer-songwriter who paints and practices yoga. She married real estate agent Ryan Bartell in 2021.
Caley Chase (Born 1985)
Born January 19, 1985, Caley pursued acting and music like her father. She attended LOLAS Acting School and became the first female pianist at The Comedy Store.
She’s appeared in several projects with her dad, including Hotel Hell Vacation (2010) and Zombie Town (2023). Caley married husband Milo in June 2022.
Emily Chase (Born 1988)
The youngest Chase daughter, born September 29, 1988, studied political science and English at Barnard College. She works in environmental conservation, previously at the National Audubon Society.
Emily welcomed daughter Ivy Jay Baglieri in August 2024, making Chevy a first-time grandfather.
Family Bonds
All three daughters maintain close relationships with their father. Emily told News Of Los Angeles in March 2024: “My dad is the funniest and most generous and loving person I know.”
Cydney and Caley discussed their family dynamics in the CNN documentary I’m Chevy Chase and You’re Not, which premiered January 1.
