Gino D'Acampo gushes over 31 year relationship with wife Jessica and posts loved-up snaps after revealing the secret is having a 'single life' - as he battles harassment storm

Gino D’Acampo posted affectionate photos alongside his spouse Jessica, during their ski vacation on her birthday, amidst him dealing with controversy over accusations of harassment.

In a recent statement, the celebrated culinary artist, now aged 48, facing allegations about inappropriate behavior, expressed that he remains just as cheerful as during their initial encounter, showering praise upon his long-term companion with whom he has shared 31 years.

Previously, Gino made headlines by disclosing that the key to his blissful marriage lies in maintaining individual freedom and personal space. In other words, they each enjoy independent activities and personal time apart from one another.

He shared that, while he’s gone, he chats with Jessica once a week for approximately 20 minutes, and he can’t fathom why his friends converse with their spouses for extended periods of time.

Nevertheless, the setup seems to suit the couple perfectly, as they gleamed with joy in their radiant social media photo, posing atop a majestic mountain peak.

As I snuggled closer to my spouse, I planted a gentle kiss on his cheek, making us both look affectionate in the selfies that Gino later shared, accompanied by a heartfelt message.

31 years as a pair, and we’re still grinning like it was our very first date… happy birthday, my dearest love… GDx. (This version aims to maintain the original’s warmth and sentiment while making it more accessible to a wider audience.)

Gino openly acknowledged that he and his wife, Jessica, frequently enjoy separate pursuits during their leisure hours, spending extended intervals apart.

He spends equal time at his residences in both the UK and Italy, where he lives with Jessica and their children, Luciano (age 22), Rocco (age 19), and Mia (age 12).

Instead, Gino mentioned that he meticulously schedules his time away from work to ensure solitude, a practice he attributes to fortifying his marriage.

He conveyed to the warmth: “I find it crucial not just to invest in quality moments with my family, but I’m equally firm in advocating for personal solitude. Engaging in self-discovery and having ample thought-provoking time are aspects that people neglect far too frequently.

‘Everybody’s always so busy and alone time is super-important for my marriage.’ 

‘For the past 31 years, Jessica and I have been a couple. We are blessed with three children, and our long-standing relationship remains strong because we each maintain our individual lives independently.’

In his teenage years, Gino found his spouse while working as the Head Chef at Sylvester Stallone’s Mambo King eatery in Marbella.

In 2002, they got married, and they reaffirmed their commitment to each other in 2021. However, the renowned Italian figure denies the possibility that spending time apart might result in infidelities.

In a conversation with OK! Magazine, he shared this insight: ‘It’s crucial to find equilibrium between your marital responsibilities and personal independence.’

As a die-hard enthusiast, I’d gladly step away for a whole month, yet keep our connection alive through weekly chats of approximately 20 minutes. Once I return, our shared experiences will make for some unforgettable conversations!

The cooking show host admitted that sometimes he can’t decipher the topics his friends discuss with their spouses during extended phone conversations, preferring to maintain brief and pleasant conversations with Jessica instead.

Additionally, Gino openly confessed that during his solo trips, he would join ladies for a meal and some beverages.

He suggested: ‘Don’t you believe that if I were to be untrue to my spouse, arranging a vacation wouldn’t be necessary? I could do it at any moment or place. Therefore, put that thought aside; taking a trip alone is not significant in this context.’

Previously, Gino had shared the story of meeting his wife during an appearance on Good Morning Britain, which took place in the year 2022.

In his own words, he shared that when he first encountered his wife, he hadn’t had any romantic encounters with other women due to being only 17 years old. She boasted beautiful blonde hair and an exceptionally captivating character. After a brief period of time, she introduced me to something I had never experienced before.

‘So I got there and basically all I was thinking was “Am I going to get laid?”

Is it appropriate to express it this way? Or shall I use the phrase ‘make love’, if that helps? Still, yes, she extended an invitation and prepared a meal for me.

Last night, fresh accusations of harassment arose against Gino, as his ex-colleagues alleged that he made inappropriate gestures and comments with sexual undertones during the filming for ITV.

Reports from the food-themed travel show starring Gordon, Gino, and Fred suggest inappropriate behavior, including asking a production team member questions about her personal relationships and making unwanted physical advances towards another female colleague.

Individuals within Gordon Ramsay’s company, Studio Ramsay, who were involved in the production of the show, have reportedly shared that Ramsay was challenging to work with and often made his colleagues uncomfortable through playful behavior involving inappropriate gestures.

In 2021, his questionable actions incited several staff members to file complaints with ITV, which ultimately resulted in the call for a meeting with Gino’s manager at that time, due to concerns from channel leaders.

Regardless, Gino continued to be featured on the program alongside chefs Gordon and Fred Siriex in subsequent episodes.

Based on reports from the program, it was mentioned that there had been multiple issues or concerns raised about Gino. He remained on the show until he was discreetly let go towards the end of last year.

As an ardent admirer, I can’t help but feel that the pieces of the puzzle are falling into place, hinting at a potential cover-up orchestrated by ITV and the production company.

As a devoted follower, I can share that ITV took action by arranging a meeting with the previous manager of Gino, during which the matter of questionable conduct was brought up for discussion.

I can’t contain my excitement even amidst swirling rumors! Surprisingly, The Mail on Sunday has disclosed that ITV is pushing forward with airing a set of Family Fortunes episodes that Gino D’Campo taped earlier this year. I simply can’t wait to see them!

Simultaneously, another worker shared with this newspaper their observation of staff members finding it challenging due to Gino’s reportedly problematic behavior behind the scenes. “Crews, contributors, and TV executives who have seen his actions grit their teeth and try to carry on,” the employee stated.

‘He has a tendency to be overly tactile and inappropriate, which is disliked by others. He can also come across as rude and challenging.’ The source mentioned that he occasionally makes crude jokes involving exposing himself.

It seems he finds it amusing, leading one to question if he’s oblivious to the inappropriateness. His humor carries an old-fashioned Italian charm, perhaps intended as humorous or flirtatious, but it often leaves others feeling uneasy.

Last year, it was disclosed by The Mail on Sunday that the unexpected departure of Gino during Gordon, Gino & Fred: Road Trip in March 2023 had reportedly made production staff feel uneasy due to his alleged conduct.

It was stated that he left due to his dislike for the tense negotiations on the contract, fearing it might harm his relationships with his fellow actors. However, it was later discovered that he was effectively removed from the project following accusations of not agreeing to include a morality clause in his employment agreement.

Independently, it came to light this month that a woman filed a complaint with the higher-ups at ITV, alleging she had been subjected to inappropriate conduct by Gino during a span of five years.

From 2006 to 2011, she collaborated with him during her tenure on the morning talk show “This Morning,” where he served as the resident chef, and on the weekend program “Saturday Cooks!

Additionally, it’s reported that ITV may have made Gino undergo a language and conduct training program following allegations concerning his behavior towards female coworkers on the set of Emission Impossible.

Reports indicate that production stopped following allegations of inappropriate humor backstage, with some crew members claiming to have received counseling post-filming.

At that moment, Gino expressed his disbelief and flat-out denial about the serious allegations of sexual misconduct involving him, which were claimed to have happened many years back while filming Gordon, Gino & Fred.

Allow me to clarify unequivocally: Such an incident did not transpire. I hold these types of allegations with utmost gravity, and the insinuation that I intentionally misbehaved or mistreated any female colleagues in an unprofessional manner is profoundly disheartening.
