As a lifestyle expert with extensive experience in the culinary and entertainment world, I must say that Giada De Laurentiis‘ journey is truly inspiring. After 21 years as one of The Food Network’s biggest stars, she has bravely stepped away from the limelight to focus on her personal life and entrepreneurial ventures.


Giada De Laurentiis posted some pictures and videos on Instagram, reminiscing about the wonderful moments she experienced during the summer.

‘& that’s a wrap for summer 2024,’ she captioned the post, adding a crying emoji. 

Among the content in that collection was a video featuring Jade Marie De Laurentiis-Thompson, who resembles her mother and is 16 years old, performing a song with her band, The Hours.

Jade is spotted performing lead vocals close to a train station, potentially participating in the customary act of street performance, commonly known as busking.

The popular celebrity chef, who underwent sinus surgery earlier this year, co-shares custody of their daughter, Jade, with her former spouse, the fashion designer Todd Thompson.

Giada often posts pictures featuring her sole child on her social media platforms, and since retiring from The Food Network after a 21-year stint as one of their most prominent personalities, she has more leisure time to do so.

To put it simply, she was burnt out as she told Rebecca Minkoff on her Superwoman podcast recently.

‘I would switch gears without knowing it every seven years,’ she explained. 

She shared that she had been hosting Everyday Italian for seven years, but when she became pregnant in 2008, she felt it was time to step away from the show. Instead, she decided to reinvent the program, as she recognized that her new role as a mother had changed her significantly.

2002 saw me becoming an integral part of The Food Network family. Since then, I’ve been the driving force behind a multitude of shows that have graced your screens, such as Everyday Italian, which earned me a Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Lifestyle Host. Additionally, you’ve enjoyed Giada’s Weekend Getaways, Giada at Home, Giada Entertains, and my personal favorite, Giada in Italy. Each show has been a unique journey, and I feel blessed to share these culinary adventures with you.

And walking away from all of that terrified her. 

She mentioned that it required some time for her to reach a decision due to her deep apprehension about departing from Food Network.

Since being a prominent figure in one pond implies uncertainty about the future once you leave, my curiosity for the entrepreneurial adventure grew. However, I came to understand that I couldn’t juggle two such demanding paths simultaneously.

In 2015, De Laurentiis pointed out her divorce, hectic job commitments, and her role as a single parent as causes for her exhaustion, expressing that it felt as if the world was collapsing around her.

Approximately two and a half years back, I decided it was time for me to take the plunge, and I committed my efforts towards Giadzy.

And so far at least, she doesn’t miss it, which surprises her.

She clarified by saying, “I understand I should agree, but I’ve been feeling drained. I’ve been working tirelessly for quite some time, and the passion just seemed to fade away. I crave excitement now. If I’m growing weary, then my audience likely is too.
