Bisson who has been in the acting industry since the mid-80s is credited to more than a dozen projects. And, despite such huge longterm involvement in the entertainment world, he never let a negative thing impact his married life.

Bisson Married Young At 21

Yannick Bisson shares a married life of nearly thirty years with his beautiful wife, Chantal Craig, who later changed her name to Chantel Bisson after they exchanged their marital vows. Chantal who is a creative content writer is also known as Shantelle Bisson.

Interestingly, Yannick and Chantal knew each other since high school as Yannick would also often come to visit her friends. Matter of fact, Chantel was even asked out on a double date with Yannick by his friend. But, the actress turned author declined since she only had a taste for elder men at the time.

A couple of years later, the High Tide alum coincidentally met Chantal who arrived late and apologized to him at the audition for a Pepsi commercial. On the other side, Bisson had no idea that she was also repped by his agency and that he would be co-starring with Chantel in his nearest future for the commercials.

As Yannick was already a popular actor, Chantal was aware of everything. And, it was then during the kissing part of the commercial that sparked romance between the two. Likewise, the rest is history.

Soon after that, the young love birds fell head over the hill in love. And, the next thing they knew, Bisson and Craig said 'I Do' when they were just 21 and 18 in 1990.

Of course, with such a successful career in Hollywood that earned him a net worth of over $5 million, Yannick has been able to provide great financial support for himself and his family. Only in April 2019, Yannick and his wife decided to move into a new home as they sold their East York mansion where they lived for thirteen years.

As their daughters moved out, the Canadian actor along with his wife realized that it wasn't necessary to live in a big home with big enough space for just the two. Their old house which they first moved in 2007 and bought for $440,000 was put on sale for the price of nearly $3 million in late 2018.

The modern bungalow that consisted of four bedrooms, a fireplace, front closet, floating guest room, outdoor spa, Sonos, and private balcony, was renovated with the help of late Eric McClelland.
