Early life
Chelsea Clinton was born on February 27, 1980, in Little Rock, Arkansas. She is the only child of Hillary Clinton and Bill Clinton. She got her name after the family took a trip to the Chelsea area of London for Christmas in 1978. According to Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton suggested they name their future daughter Chelsea after hearing Judy Collins perform Joni Mitchell’s Chelsea Morning in 1969.
When Chelsea Clinton was two years old, her parents took her all over Arkansas to campaign for her father for governor. She learned to read and write at a very young age. Chelsea Clinton said she started reading the newspaper when she was three years old and wrote a letter to President Ronald Reagan when she was five.
In the letter, copied and saved by her father, she asked President Ronald Reagan not to visit a military cemetery in West Germany that contained the graves of Nazi soldiers. Chelsea Clinton attended Forest Park Elementary School in Little Rock, Arkansas, Booker Arts and Science Magnet Elementary School, and Horace Mann Middle School. For some reason, she decided to skip third grade.
Chelsea Clinton’s parents were both Southern Baptists; thus, she spent her childhood there until converting to her mother’s United Methodist church.

In 2001, Chelsea Clinton enrolled in a master’s program at University College of Oxford, where her father had studied politics as a Rhodes Scholar. She received her Master of Public Health degree from Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health in the spring of 2010. In 2012, she began mentoring graduate students at that school.

In 2012, Chelsea Clinton received an award from the Temple of Understanding for her collaborative work with Imam Khalid Latif and Rabbi Yehuda Sarna to “advance a new model for integrating interfaith and cross-cultural education into campus life.”
Personal life
Chelsea Clinton and investment banker Marc Mezvinsky were married on July 31, 2010, at the Astor Courts estate in Rhinebeck, New York.

They were raised in the conservative Jewish tradition.
The Clintons and the Mezvinskys were friends in the 1990s, and their children met at a Renaissance Weekend retreat in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. They reportedly first dated in 2005, and they became engaged over Thanksgiving in 2009.
After their marriage, the couple lived in New York City’s Gramercy Park neighborhood for three years. They then purchased a $10.5 million condo in the NoMad neighborhood. Their first child, a daughter named Charlotte Clinton Mezvinsky, was born on September 26, 2014.
