Uh-oh! Did Giada De Laurentiis ditch Bobby Flay for a new man? It seems that the two celebrity chefs were never really an item despite the rumors surrounding them following their respective divorces. Now, latest reports claim that De Laurentiis has finally found love once again with her new beau, Shane Farley.
Earlier this month, Giada De Laurentiis hinted that she has a new man in her life. And while it's kind of surprising that her boyfriend was not actually fellow celebrity chef Bobby Flay, it's still a good news since it will finally put an end on the incessant infidelity accusations thrown at them. As for De Laurentiis' new man, E! News revealed that she is dating Shane Farley, the executive producer of "FabLife" and the former producer of "The Rachel Ray Show."
De Laurentiis and Farley, who originally met in 2013 when the latter was supposed to executive produce her talk show with Flay, are reportedly in love and are quite serious too! As a matter of fact, De Laurentiis' sister, Eloisa, even posted some photos of them together taken during the Halloween along with other family members.
During a recent appearance on "The Wendy Williams Show," Giada De Laurentiis was asked if she has found love again after her divorce from Todd Thompson, the 45-year-old celebrity chef responded with "kind of."
"I'm going to say kind of, and I will tell you, this is the first time I've actually said that!" she gushed.
As for her relationship with her ex-husband, whom she was with for 11 years and the father of her 7-year-old daughter Jade Marie, Giada De Laurentiis explained that their daughter is the top priority. And despite their separation, the exes continue to work together to raise her and make sure they're both involved in her life.
"Both parents need to keep the [other] parent involved in what's happening with the child," she told People. "So when the child comes back to you and they share these stories you're like 'oh yeah, I saw that' or 'oh yeah, that was part of that'd you know what questions to ask so you're both in it."
Meanwhile, Giada De Laurentiis has also finally revealed the reason why she never hook up with Bobby Flay, 50.
"We do get together on Food Network Star," De Laurentiis jested, as per Us Weekly. "Well, we're very good friends. We've worked for many years together, but I don't think that's ever going to happen because I'm smarter than that. Like I said, I know better. I'm one of them."
