Celebrity chef Sandra Lee, 59, calls off her engagement to actor Ben Youcef, 46

Sandra Lee has split from her 46-year-old fiance, actor Ben Youcef.

Okay, so I’m hearing from my sources that Lee and her fiancé have called it quits. Jennifer Abel, who handles Lee’s publicity, confirmed to the Daily Mail that the pair, who were together for five years, have ended their engagement. It’s always sad to hear about splits, but sometimes things just don’t work out, even after a long time together.

In March 2021, 59-year-old Lee started dating Youcef, who was born in Algeria and is also known as Abdulwahab Benyoucef. They got engaged later that year.

Lee is a celebrity chef who appears on TV shows and an author. 

Okay, so she’s basically a genius! She figured out how to make amazing food fast – it’s all about being smart in the kitchen. She says she uses mostly pre-made stuff – like 70 percent – and then just adds about 30 percent fresh ingredients to make it special. Honestly, it’s revolutionary! I’ve been trying it and it’s a game changer. It’s not about being a gourmet chef, it’s about making life easier and still having delicious food. I’m totally obsessed with her approach!
