Italian-American chef Giada De Laurentiis became famous on the Food Network, quickly amassing a fan base. When she is on camera, the bubbly TV host got her audiences excited to cook with the upbeat personality she has and the bright smile she flashes. Even though other chefs that are on the network like Guy Fieri, Ina Garten, Paula Deen, and Rachael Ray all boosted their profiles but kept their personal life separate, it appears that people simply can’t get enough of Giada and she’s always in the line of fire.
Giada Got Divorced In 2015
In the early 2000’s, when Giada De Laurentiis’ career was on the upswing, she met Todd Thompson, a fashion designer. They fell in love and got married in 2003. Thompson often went with Giada to award shows and events, spending time together between their busy schedules, especially Giadas. In 2014, however, news broke that the happy couple had filed for a divorce. The divorce was finalized on September 3, 2015, and Giada was single again at the age of 45.
She Has A Successful Career And A Massive Net Worth
Giada De Laurentiis is a very hard-working woman, putting in the time and work needed to make her career what it is today. As of 2018, her net worth is reportedly around $15 million, though some speculate that the divorce proceedings may have cost her some of her fortune. Sources say she’s paying $9,000 to Thompson for child support for their daughter, Jade, every month.
