Are Giada de Laurentiis and Todd Thompson reconciling soon? For the first time after their messy and exorbitant divorce, the ex-couple and their 7-year-old daughter enjoyed a family day at a local amusement park on Monday. The fun-filled outing was captured on a photo shared by the celebrity chef on her Instagram account.

Giada De Laurentiis's recent family sighting came amid the incessant infidelity rumors and her alleged relationship with another Food Network chef Bobby Flay as well as her divorce with husband Todd Thompson. According to E! News, the exes put aside their differences and enjoyed a family outing at Knott's Berry Farm in Buena Park, California on Monday. Together with their daughter, the ex-couple, whose divorce came after 11 years of marriage, filled the day with rollercoaster and swing rides.   

More than two decades ago, Giada De Laurentiis met Todd Thompson when she was just a 19-year-old college student and her ex-husband was 20-years old. As previously reported, De Laurentiis was an epitome of a great wife and mother before she announced her divorce in December. She also shared some insights on her marriage, which came with extra efforts due to popularity.

"I think it can be hard for any man to sometimes be upstaged by his wife," the celebrity chef revealed in a 2011 Redbook interview. "So when I'm home, I work very hard to be Todd's wife and Jade's mother. I have no problem going back to those traditional roles. I try to be Giada, the young girl that he met 20 years ago and fell in love with."

"All men want to be treated like kings in a relationship, and I think if women don't indulge that sometimes, their men are likely to stray and look for someone who can give that to them," she added. "It's simple. It's not brain surgery."

So, what exactly went wrong in their relationship? Well, no one really knows. But rumors have accused Giada De Laurentiis of cheating, which she has firmly denied.

Meanwhile, the recent sighting of Giada De Laurentiis was a first since her divorce with Todd Thompson was finalized in early September, People noted. And though they appear to be enjoying the day, Celeb Dirty Laundry claimed that it was just a publicity gimmick to repair De Laurentiis' crumbling reputation.

For years, Giada De Laurentiis has built an image as a "family woman." She has also took advantage of her being a mom who's trying to build a cooking empire. So, when the divorce and cheating scandal surfaced, her earnings took a major smash. And with her designer husband Todd as the primary caretaker of their daughter, it only added more negative press to De Laurentiis' tarnished reputation.

While many believe that Giada De Laurentiis took a family outing with her ex-husband and daughter Jade for all of the right reasons, some can't help but point out the timing of the event since the cheating rumors of her and Bobby Flay have re-emerged.

Is there a possibility for a reconciliation between Giada De Laurentiis and Todd Thompson? Or is the recent family outing just a cover up to her relationship with Bobby Flay?
