Dating & Relationship Status
Chappell Roan is openly queer, but she has chosen to keep much of her romantic life private. She has not publicly disclosed details about current partners or dating history, focusing instead on her music and public persona.
Her mother, Kara ( Chappell), is a veterinarian; her father, Dwight Amstutz, is now a retired Naval Reservist who also managed the family's veterinary practice in Springfield, Missouri, and earlier trained as a registered nurse, working in neurological and burns intensive care units. Her uncle is Missouri State Representative Darin Chappell.
On August 3, 2017, Roan released her first single, "Good Hurt". The song was reviewed favorably in Interview, which praised her "striking maturity and surprisingly deep vocals". On September 22, 2017, she released an extended play (EP) titled School Nights through Atlantic Records. Also in 2017, she supported Vance Joy on his Lay It On Me Tour. During this time, Roan lived with her parents in Springfield, Missouri, flying with them to Los Angeles or New York City when necessary. In 2018, Roan moved to Los Angeles. She has since stated this was the first time she felt able to live openly as a queer woman, as well as feeling "overwhelmed with complete love and acceptance", allowing her to begin "writing songs as the real [her]". From January to March 2018, she toured the United States with Declan McKenna.
By February 2022, Roan had earned a publishing deal with Sony, and reunited with Nigro again to create and release "Naked in Manhattan". The song was her first release as an independent artist. It was described by NPR as a "queer girl bop" with lyrics that are "tender, nostalgic" and "flirty yet uncertain". While working with Nigro in an adjacent studio to Olivia Rodrigo, Roan recorded backing vocals on three of Rodrigo's songs, including "Can't Catch Me Now". Roan was selected as the opening act on Rodrigo's Sour Tour and for Fletcher on her Girl of My Dreams Tour. In August 2022, she released a third independent single, "Femininomenon". Earmilk described the song as "so fun and loud but so intricate" and noted it was different from Roan's past releases. Roan stated that the song, which was produced by Nigro, was an attempt to "get away with being as ridiculous as I possibly can". An accompanying self-directed music video featured Roan riding a dirt bike. Roan released another single, "Casual", which she had begun working on with Nigro in 2020. The song, produced by Nigro, criticizes a romantic partner who refuses to commit and was inspired by Roan's brief relationship during the COVID-19 pandemic that ended with her partner saying they had met someone else.
In 2024, Roan gave a guest lecture at Harvard Medical School. When searching for Roan's name on Google, users are prompted with "Did you mean: your favorite artist's favorite artist", which references a viral clip of Roan introducing herself on stage at the Coachella Music Festival. This was inspired by Roan's favorite drag performer and now drag mother Sasha Colby. Roan joked the search term was caused by a "random twink who works at Google" and stated that she modified Colby's phrase as she hoped Colby would one day watch and recognize her. The two met in July 2024 while performing at Capitol Hill Block Party, where Colby asked Roan to join the House of Colby as her daughter.
Roan currently lives in Los Angeles, California. She is a lesbian and demisexual. As of September 2024, Roan was in a relationship with an undisclosed woman who is not involved in the music industry.
Though raised as a Christian, Roan no longer identifies with the church and has said that her current relationship with religion is "evolving". She was diagnosed with bipolar II disorder at 22, which contributed to her difficult childhood. She has described therapy and medication as important facets in caring for and maintaining her mental health. Roan has said that the idea of her trademark "tacky pop star" appearance came to her while discussing her inner child with her therapist. While "Chappell Roan" began solely as a stage name, she has since called it her drag persona and likened it to Hannah Montana, describing the character as "more open and confident [...] especially regarding sex" than her real self.

Net Worth
Chappell Roan is active on social media, particularly on Instagram, where she shares updates about her music, performances, and personal style. She often posts behind-the-scenes content, promotional images, and personal reflections, engaging with a rapidly growing fanbase.
In February 2025 at the 67th Grammy Awards, Roan won her first Grammy Award for Best New Artist. In her acceptance speech, she called for record labels to provide artists with a living wage and healthcare, saying, "Labels, we got you, but do you got us?" Roan's work was also nominated for other awards, with The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess being nominated for Album of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Album, and "Good Luck, Babe!" being nominated for Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best Pop Solo Performance. Following Roan's Grammy acceptance speech, the former music executive Jeff Rabhan wrote an essay via The Hollywood Reporter criticizing Roan's acceptance speech as naive and saying labels do not have responsibilities to artists outside paying advances and royalties. The piece went viral, and Roan responded by challenging Rabhan to match a $25,000 donation to artists experiencing financial difficulty.

Kayleigh Rose Amstutz (born February 19, 1998), known professionally as Chappell Roan, is an American singer and songwriter. She is known for her camp and drag queen–influenced aesthetic. Her debut EP, School Nights (2017), was released by Atlantic Records. After its commercial failure, she was dropped from the label. Her debut studio album, The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess (2023), was released through Island Records and received critical acclaim. The album garnered a cult following and became a sleeper hit.
Roan began working with songwriter and producer Dan Nigro in late 2018. In April 2020, Roan released "Pink Pony Club", which she has described as a "hard left turn" from School Nights. The single was produced by Nigro, and its music video was directed by Griffin Stoddard. Roan has cited a visit to The Abbey, a gay bar in West Hollywood, as the inspiration for the song. She said the song expressed her desire to become a go-go dancer in Los Angeles, stating, "truthfully, I'm not confident enough to do that, so I wrote a song about it."
