Holmes married Valerie Chaney, whom he refers to as “Sweet Lady Val”, in late 2017. Their daughter, Lila Jane, was born in September 2018. Holmes is a Christian, once having been on the Christian comedy circuit.
The veteran comedian/television host has been in a blissful marital relationship with a non-celebrity woman called Valerie Chaney since 2017. Chaney is the entertainer’s second wife, as Holmes was formerly married to a woman called Becca.
He got married to his first wife at the age of 22 (which was exactly the year he launched his comedy career), however, the union only survived for six years due to Becca’s extra-marital affair with her current husband simply identified as Rocko.
Though events about Pete and Becca’s wedding still remains a secret, their divorce was not, as it left him in a traumatic state for a long time and equally shook his career badly.
Interestingly, the comedian is back in form relationship-wise, having moved on from his failed marriage – many thanks to Chaney who has proved to be his perfect match. On several occasions, Holmes has kept details of his love life out of media’s reach but he sometimes shares a couple of pictures of his second wife on his social media accounts.
The comedian first declared himself and Valerie as a couple on his Instagram page on 17th October 2015, and ever since, he has never shied away from showing the world how precious she is to him. The two share a daughter together who was born in September 2018.
