Celebrity chef Giada De Laurentiis has admitted she is seeing someone new when she appeared in "The Wendy Williams Show" last Wednesday.
When Williams asked De Laurentiis if she has a boyfriend, the chef replied shyly, "I'm gonna say kind of."
"And I will tell you this is the first time I've actually said that," she added.
Williams further asked if Giada is in love, to which the Food Network star responded "God!" as she dropped the spoon, seemingly embarrassed.
The Food Network chef's love life has been the topic of rumors ever since her divorce from Todd Thompson. And one of the most popularly linked guys to Giada is fellow Food Network chef Bobby Flay who happened to have just divorced with Stephanie March. All sorts of speculations came about from simply dating, to moving in together and marrying. Both have denied the speculations.
Celeb Dirty Laundry posed the question "is Giada pushing Bobby to put a ring on her finger and set a wedding date?" in relation to the celebrity chef's responses to Wendy Williams' questions about having a boyfriend. Gossip Cop debunked the report that Giada is dating Bobby Flay, much more forcing him to marry her. Giada's rep reportedly confirmed to Gossip Cop that "She is not dating Bobby Flay."
But is it possible?
E! Online reported that De Laurentiis told Andy Cohen of "Watch What Happens Live" on Thursday, "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."
Meanwhile, Giada De Laurentiis' eighth cook book is already out -- "Happy Cooking: Make Every Meal Count...Without Stressing Out." What inspired the book is Giada's experience with the divorce and her new life as a single mom, she revealed to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
The Emmy Award-winning star to the AJC that divorce was a "huge change" for her and her 7-year-old daughter, Jade. She said, "It brought sadness and self-doubt. I found myself revisiting why I ever got into cooking." And cooking "was a way for me to find myself again, find a comfort zone and shut out the noise of the world."
She told Wendy, "Cooking really helped me get through it. It made me happy."
