Court records obtained by legal journalist Meghann Cuniff, who revealed on Friday that Lanez had submitted a motion to the Superior Court of Los Angeles for release on bond while he appeals his felony conviction for the shooting, reveal the information about his marital status.

In the court documents, attorneys for Tory Lanez state that if he is released, he’ll be living in L.A. with Chassagne, who’s now his wife.
“From his sentencing hearing engagement announcement to his bail motion wedding announcement, Tory Lanez’s relationship status has advanced rapidly in the last few weeks. His fiancée is now his wife, according to the motion,” Cuniff reported via X (formerly Twitter). In his request to be released on bail, Lanez has set forward several promises.

“Upon release, Mr. Peterson will maintain his sobriety, and have no contact with the victim nor shall he or any of his associates by his direction address her on social media or by other means,” Cuniff reported”.

In Cuniff’s report, she interviewed several attorneys who said that bail motions pending appeal are rarely granted, especially for a violent crime like Tory’s first-degree assault with a firearm conviction.

“Generally, to get bail pending appeal, you have to show a substantial likelihood of prevailing on appeal, which often means a substantial likelihood you can show error by the trial judge.”
“So it’s pretty rare for the trial judge to find the defense can make this showing about the same judge’s own rulings, especially after the judge has already denied post-trial motions raising those same arguments,” attorney Michale Freedman told Cuniff.
