Celebrity chef Giada De Laurentiis announced on social media that she and her husband, Todd, have “decided to end our marriage.” On her Facebook page, she wrote: “Although our decision to separate comes with a great deal of sadness, our focus on the future and overwhelming desire for our family’s happiness has given us the strength to move forward on separate, yet always connected paths. Todd and I share a beautiful daughter and a lifetime of great memories that we both treasure more than anything. We are so thankful for our friends and family, and really appreciate the support in this time of change.”
While her 720,910 followers are heartbroken to hear about the divorce, most are applauding De Laurentiis for delivering the news with such tact. “This is the most mature sweet post regarding a divorce,” wrote Rebecca Swan. “You show so much class and grace.” Myki Angeline agrees: “This was beautifully written and brave for you to share.” Lydia Saraiva wrote: “I liked this post not because of the content but because it’s the most graceful and eloquent way you could have shared this with your friends and fans.”
