Vinnie Paul and Chelsey Yeager met in the summer of 2013 and dated until Vinnie's death on June 22, 2018. Chelsey said: "A mutual friend of ours invited me to a 'Sunday Funday' pool party at Vinnie's house. Once we were introduced to each other, we were inseparable after that. He was in the middle of the Gigantour, and he would come home periodically. When he was in town, we would always go out to concerts, dinners, get-togethers, etc. and things just escalated into this beautiful relationship. There was never a dull moment in our time together."
"MPAP: Did marriage, or even having kids together ever come up in your conversations?
Chelsey: We both did not want kids, but marriage was talked about. We could go with or without being married, it wasn't a huge issue for us, and I was always okay with what we had."
