Are Giada De Laurentiis and Shane Farley Still Together? Updates on the Chef’s Relationship

Food Network alum Giada De Laurentiis has been pretty open about her love life after her divorce from her husband of 11 years, Todd Thompson. The chef began dating television producer Shane Farley shortly after her marriage came to an end. 

How Did Giada De Laurentiis and Shane Farley Meet?

Giada and Todd got married in 2003 and welcomed their daughter, Jade, in 2008. They announced their split in 2014 in a statement on Facebook and their divorce was finalized one year later. 

“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,” the statement read. “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.”

Shane and Giada met in 2013 when he was set to produce a television show starring her and Bobby Flay. While the project didn’t end up coming to fruition, the TV star and the entertainment mogul remained friends. Eventually, a beautiful love connection blossomed between the pair.

“After I divorced, I spent about a year and a half alone, not dating, just figuring things out. I had been with Jade’s dad for 25 years. I didn’t know what it meant not to be married,” the Giada at Home host told People in February 2018. “Once I got settled, Shane and I reconnected and I felt like a kid again.”

Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, Shane stepped in to help Giada film her cooking shows at home.

“We’ve been spending every second of every day together, and well, that’s never happened for me because I’ve always been traveling and working,” the Emmy winner told People in October 2020. “I think it’s made us stronger. Truly. I think that’s what happens sometimes in these things. You either become stronger or you start to say like, ‘Ah, I can’t do this.’ So, it’s been fun.”

In October 2024, Giada told People that she and Shane share “a lot of laughter.”

“He has a lot of patience,” the TV personality gushed. “I think patience and laughter, and we try not to take things so seriously.”

While Giada and Shane do not post pictures together on their social media accounts very often, they are still happily dating. In February 2023, the lovebirds posed for a rare photo together during a trip to Miami. Giada rocked a pink pantsuit while her beau went with a linen outfit for the occasion. “In Miami, we turn up the heat,” she captioned the post.

Giada shared rare comments about their relationship during an episode of “The Liz Moody Podcast” in March 2025.

“Usually around 5:00, I start making dinner,” she said. “My daughter comes in around 6 [p.m.] because she does theater rehearsals and then I just hang out with her for a while. She either comes in the kitchen or we chitchat. We eat dinner, my boyfriend does the dishes, and then I usually will go chill with my boyfriend or daughter depending on who needs what from me.”

In an April 2025 Instagram post, Giada and Shane adorably dined together at home. “Chicken piccata meatballs are the most popular recipe from Super-Italian so far (& also Shane’s fav!!) so enjoy Shane in the kitchen with me to celebrate,” she captioned the video.
