Since first going public with their relationship at Coachella 2022, supermodel Chanel Iman and her husband, NFL star Davon Godchaux have had a whirlwind romance. The couple, who has been married since February 2024, recently let the folks at Architectural Digest inside the stunning Miami mansion they built from the ground up. Decorated in clean, modern furniture and accessories, the space is a cozy retreat for their beautiful blended family, which includes Chanel’s daughters Cali and Cassie from her marriage to Sterling Shephard, Davon’s son, Davon Godchaux II and the newest addition – the couple’s daughter Capri Summer Godchaux.

Chanel says building a home in the place they met was important to them.

“Davon and I met in Florida, and to have a home together in the place we found love is very special to us,” she told Architectural Digest. “It’s a part of our love story.”

Check out their stunning space for yourself.

Chanel and Davon picked out every detail of their South Florida home, including the land they built it on.

“The coolest thing about finding a lot was that we got to build a house from the ground up and make it our own to fit our family’s needs,” Chanel told AD. “We customized it exactly the way we wanted to.”

Sophisticated Living Space

Although most of the home is kid-friendly, Chanel says this living space the only area in the house that kids aren’t allowed. One of the focal points of the room is the marble slate, a beautiful feature that gives the room a stately vibe. “I’m crazy about marble, it’s just so classy,” she told Architectural Digest.

From the pristine white cabinets to the gold sink fixtures, this kitchen has so many stunning details, you almost can’t imagine anyone cooking in it. If you ask Davon, he’ll tell you that it’s all about the chairs.“My favorite part of the kitchen is the alligator-skin chairs,” he told AD. “I don’t even sit in them—I just look at them.”

A Nod to Chanel

Of course, you would expect a supermodel named Chanel to have pieces from the famous French fashion house in her home. We love the subtle way she paid tribute to the brand with surfboards and throw pillows in the entryway and living space.

Beautiful Accents

While most of the home is decorated in black, white and gray, there are some colorful surprised throughout, including these yellow fringed ottomans. We love the use of the floating console as a place to display decorative items without taking up too much space.

Made for Movie Nights

This lounge space is where the family loves to gather for movie nights, so it only makes sense that the focal point of the room is this plush modular sofa.

A Luxurious Oasis

The primary suite features this luxurious bathroom with a deep soaking tub. The marble walls give it an even grander feel.

A Place for Family

The Perfect Pool

You can’t have a fabulous Miami home without a pool. Surrounded by greenery, the space gives the family plenty of privacy while they relax.

A Crazy Closet

This closet is something out of a shoe lover’s fantasy, with plenty of shelving to show off Davon’s insane sneaker collection. If this is what his shoe closet looks like, we can only imagine what Chanel has going on!

The Couple’s Sanctuary

Chanel calls the master bedroom the couple’s sanctuary. With a relaxing neutral color palette and plush bedding, we could stay here for days.
