Giada De Laurentiis ( GDeLaurentiis) December 30 2014
The 44 year old met the fashion designer when she was in college and the two married in 2003. In 2008 they welcomed daughter Jade now 6.
Last year in an interview with Parade magazine De Laurentiis credited Thompson with helping her balance parenthood and her career.
I thought for sure when I had my daughter this career would have not gone away completely but slowed way way down. I didn t think that I could do as much as I do. And truly I can only do that because I have a great husband who really does support me and is able to get Jade up and the morning and put her to bed at night even with a full time job of his own she said. I guess I never realized what a true partnership was until now and I ve been with my husband for 22 years It wasn t until Jade came along that we really started juggling all of these pieces. That s been the biggest surprise.
