Giada De Laurentiis was photographed in her red bikini in Mexico on the first day of the New Year looking very much in love with boyfriend Shane Farley. The Food Network chef, however, was accused of being a home wrecker when reports have surfaced that Farley's soon to be ex-wife raised suspicion that the couple's relationship actually began way before Farley filed for divorce.
Hollywood Life has reported that this is the second time De Laurentiis was accused of hooking up with a married man. Chef Bobby Flay has been linked to the Italian chef and was accused of having an affair with whilst still married to ex-wife Stephanie March. But this remained nothing but a steamy rumor as both chefs deny the accusations.
Morning Ledger has reported that Farley's ex-wife Jennifer Giamo is now BFF with Flay's ex-wife Jennifer March. They've been spotted at a bar drinking. One source even said there were lots of advice and tears happening.
Shane and Giada's relationship comes on the heels of their respective divorces, as reported by Us Magazine. The TV chef finalized her divorce from Todd Thompson, her college sweetheart and husband of 11 years in September 2015.
"We had been together since I was 19; I'm now 45. That's a lifetime with someone. It was a very difficult time. I don't have the answers; I'm figuring them out as I go. I'm also afraid, like many other women who go through this, and men, too, for that matter," said the TV chef in one of her interviews.
Shane, on the other hand, filed for divorce last March and started dating Giada in August. However, Giamo suspected the two started an affair even when she and her husband were still together. This, like the Flay-De Laurentiis affair, remains nothing but a nasty rumor designed to put bad rep on Giada. But sources say Giamo is deciding whether to bring Giada to the court or not as to the alleged affair.
