Reason Behind Todd Thompson’s Filing For Divorce From Giada De Laurentiis Revealed
Do you think marriage is easy? Well, not always. No doubt that it is hard, but celebrity marriages appear harder than the rest. Don’t you agree with this?
Who would accept it so easily that a marriage of 12 years ended? People would but not in the very beginning. Similarly, Giada De Laurentiis and Todd Thompson ended their long-time marriage, with both having moved on in their respective lives. What went wrong?
Before the discussion about their divorce, let’s recall how things started between them. At the time when Giada and Todd met each other, she was pursuing anthropology at UCLA. She then didn’t know that cooking would be her future call. On the other hand, Todd was already a successful, established fashion designer and stylist.
As mentioned, Giada was reported to be just 19 years old at the time they met. She was still a student and broke. So, Todd used to pay whenever they went out. While Giada used to cook food for him. That was the way she showcased her love for him. So romantic!
In Los Angeles, Giada and Todd built their home. While her restaurant, which the former had just started back then, was four hours away if driven. So, it was a long-distance relationship.
In addition to that, Giada’s husband (ex), Todd, felt a bit upstaged by her. Why? After their wedding, he started supporting her career more than his own. And she turned out to be more career-oriented rather than making family a priority. In 2011, Giada even confessed the same, saying, “I think it can be hard for any man to sometimes be upstaged by his wife.”
When asked about their divorce, Giada De Laurentiis said that it was amicable. On the other hand, Todd cited it to be having ‘irreconcilable differences.’ However, there played several other factors as well.
She cleared out the fact that her then-husband, Todd was not always happy with her fame and fortune. So, when Giada used to return home, she tried to behave more like Todd’s wife and Jade’s mother. A simple family person! But things didn’t work well. Giada said, “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.” Well, if you are in a relationship, you will understand the impact and meaning of Giada’s statement in a better way.
Another surprising factor was that, back in 2011, Giada was rumored to be sharing a romantic relationship with the singer, John Mayer. So, it was more like a reported extramarital affair. But, the chef denied the claims. We wonder if it caused the rift and made Todd, taking the decision to divorce.
Wishing both Giada De Laurentiis and Todd Thompson all the very best for the upcoming days of their life. We are happy to know that Giada and Todd, don’t share any bad blood.
