De Laurentiis previously opened up about how she's gotten closer to her longtime love during the pandemic. I think that's what happens sometimes in these things. But add to that the fact that the restaurant was located in Las Vegas, Nevada — at least a four-hour drive from where the couple made their home in Los Angeles — and you have a set-up for a marital blow-up, according to Dr. Theresa E. DiDonato; she pointed out that more than half of all people perceive long-distance relationships as fundamentally less happy and satisfying via Psychology Today.

Starting in and until the couple's divorce, designer appeared frequently on his wife's television shows via IMDb. As De Laurentiis herself acknowledged in a interview with Redbook , "I think it can be hard for any man to sometimes be upstaged by his wife. According to Dr. DiDonato, "detachment from work appears to be critical to happy relationships," as she wrote in Psychology Today.
Healthy relationships, wrote Dr. DiDonato, require the partners to be " present when they are home, focused on their partner and if they have them children. We're just wondering how De Laurentiis found time to be home at all. Having made her television debut in hosting Everyday Italian , a half-hour cooking show , De Laurentiis wrote a companion cookbook to go with the series, which published in Two more books followed, as did a new television show, Giada's Weekend Getaways, and stints as a mentor on Food Network Star and as a correspondent for Today.
And that's all before De Laurentiis became a mom, which hardly slowed the celebrity chef down at all. In , when Jade Thompson was still a toddler, De Laurentiis launched still another cooking series with a companion cookbook Giada at Home and entered into a merchandising partnership with Target.

She took a hit though, owing Thompson 50 percent of all unpaid advances for the cookbooks she was working on.

Page Six speculated about the dinner, even though De Laurentiis and Thompson were still married at the time and Flay was married to Stephanie March, whom he has since divorced via Us Weekly. Page Six noted the pair seemed at ease during dinner, with De Laurentiis talking to other friends as well. De Laurentiis had a few drinks and reportedly even stumbled out of the restaurant as she left.
