Celebrity chef Giada de Laurentiis has finalized her divorce with her now ex-husband Todd Thompson, and all the arrangements regarding custody of their child Jade Marie, as well as financial matters, have already been settled. Because the ex-couple had no pre-nuptial agreement, their assets will be divided equally between them, and recent reports state that Thompson gets to keep their Pacific Palisades home. Take a tour of the $3.2 million property that the ex-couple once shared.
According to Zillow, TV network chef de Laurentiis' home in Pacific Palisades measures a total of 1,600 square feet and has been extensively remodeled since it was bought. It features various facilities such as a terrace with outdoor kitchen and rooftop deck with amazing ocean views.
Architectural Digest was previously able to talk to Giada about their home and her and her ex-husband's inspiration for the design of the house. According to the publication, the property is made up of two stories featuring African teak, stucco, and glass, which "convey a De Stijl-like sense of harmony and order." It is said to have been inspired by a Malibu house which had caught Thompson's attention.
Being a celebrity chef, Giada's house features a "seamless kitchen," which is described as both "glamorous and professional." It is reportedly home to industrial-grade appliances, white concrete floors and white marble countertops. It was said to be designed to look "hot" but "residential" so Giada could do her TV segments there if necessary.
Outside the house, there's a limestone terrace featuring a shower and spa for rinsing off after a day in the beach.
For privacy, the master bedroom was set back from the street and features motorized shades for windows and opaque glass in balcony railings. The aforementioned balcony also features a 500-square-foot roof deck.
Giada de Laurentiis' net worth is estimated at $20 million, while her ex-husband's is at $15 million. Besides the house, Thompson will also get $9,000 monthly for child support from Giada, as stated in their divorce papers.
