Rachael Ray says she has 'huge screaming matches' with husband - and reveals how they make up after

As a seasoned observer of the vibrant world of entertainment, I must say that the resilience and grace displayed by Rachael Ray never cease to amaze me. With a career spanning over two decades and multiple successful ventures under her belt, she has proven herself to be an unstoppable force in the culinary and television industries.


In an open and honest disclosure, Rachael Ray admitted that she frequently has intense verbal disagreements or heated arguments with her partner of 19 years, John Cusimano.

As a lifestyle connoisseur, I’d share this intriguing tale: In the year 2005, a renowned celebrity chef of myriad talents and a distinguished lawyer chose to exchange vows in the enchanting landscape of Tuscany. Since then, their journey together has been unwavering, yet they’ve chosen not to embark on the parenthood adventure.

In the debut episode of her podcast titled “I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead”, she has revealed the heated arguments they often experience.

She expressed her viewpoint as such: ‘I believe it’s healthy, genuinely do, but I’m wary of those who are overly silent.’ She continued, ‘Silence makes me uneasy. I prefer you to share your thoughts openly and honestly whenever they come to mind, let’s lay everything on the table.’

Additionally, Ray disclosed that she and Cusimano don’t publicly express apologies, instead, they have an unspoken method of healing their disagreements following an argument.

During her interview with author Jenny Mollen (wife of Jason Biggs, known for his roles in American Pie and Orange Is The New Black), she shared some significant disclosures.

Ray pondered that it’s quite challenging, particularly for passionate, outspoken, or emotional individuals, to find a way to cool down and remain calm.

She admitted, “John and I rarely manage to keep our emotions in check. We often have intense arguments, but I believe this is beneficial, and I genuinely feel this way. I’m not comfortable with people who are overly silent… Silence gives me the creeps. I prefer it when you express your thoughts openly and honestly, letting it all hang out.

When Mollen inquired about who would apologize first between Ray and Cusimano following an argument, Ray responded: ‘I’m not sure if we ever apologize to one another.’

She clarified: ‘In time, either he gets a pat on the backside or I receive a kiss on my head, and that’s essentially the apology. It’s more of an implicit understanding: “Okay, I still appreciate your company.” “I still value your presence.” It’s all about that level of affection.’

In the same podcast episode, Ray disclosed that she had experienced a few accidents or tumbles over the past fortnight, which some fans had questioned about her wellbeing.

Back in early September, I, a die-hard fan, found myself in a state of concern when my idol, Ray, shared a captivating cooking video. In this heartwarming clip, she regaled us with a charming tale about the legendary Tony Bennett.

People on social media started discussing her speech that seemed unclear, and they speculated whether it was due to medication use or perhaps a medical issue.

A few days passed, and Ray’s representative chose not to address the rumors by releasing a statement through TMZ, stating simply that they had no comment regarding the situation.

Currently, Ray admits to taking pleasure in household chores involving physical exertion. However, due to a few unfortunate slips while transporting firewood, she has had to reduce some tasks as of late, as detailed in the first episode of her podcast titled “I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead.

In a bright and friendly tone, Ray expressed: “I’m a householder who enjoys household tasks. I take delight in spending time in the kitchen. Every day, I engage my mind, whether it’s through writing or some other means, but there’s something I truly cherish, and that’s taking care of household chores.

She continued: ‘I like what people consider physical work. I like making dinner, planning dinners, making lists. I love physical labor, helping carry in the wood.’

Ray mentioned earlier that he’s taken a break from it due to a few falls he’s had recently, but he enjoys stacking firewood.

Speaking about her husband John Cusimano, she mentioned: “How much firewood did John transport? Could I carry even more? I’m not expressing this to John. I’m merely thinking it out loud.

Ray’s remarks were made about a month following the time when her health became a topic of worry among spectators, due to a video she shared that seemed to depict her speaking with a slur.

She shared a sneak peek of her upcoming series, “Rachael Ray in Tuscany,” where she was seen preparing Ossobuco and honoring the late Tony Bennett.

Nevertheless, in a passionate retelling, Ray described how Bennett accidentally hit his head on her marble counter, causing her to worry that she might have caused his death. This incident, in turn, sparked concern among fans about Ray’s well-being.

One fan wrote: ‘Is she slurring or am I slurring’ while a second typed: ‘I love you but are you ok? I’m seriously concerned.’

“Is Rachel facing some difficulties? I share your concern about her situation. As for her appearance, we all age, and it’s possible that she has a health issue or is taking medication. Let’s show kindness towards her.

‘What the heck is wrong with her? Messy hair, slurring words….wow just wow …’

Other spectators voiced their approval for the celebrity, posting: “These harsh remarks are unnecessary. Give Rachel some space. Everyone is dealing with unique challenges in life, so let’s show compassion instead.

I absolutely love Rachael! It’d be a dream come true to cook alongside her, enjoy some wine, and share laughter with her. She’s incredibly generous, gifted, and full of warmth, and her fans should shower her with nothing but affection and admiration. She has my utmost respect and admiration!

“Respect her space during menopause, as it affects everyone differently. Instead, appreciate her by indulging in delicious food and engaging in entertaining anecdotes.

DailyMail.com has contacted Rachael Ray’s representatives for comment. 

Last year Ray announced the end of her daytime talk show after 17 seasons.

Over the course of more than two decades spent in television, I’ve enjoyed a remarkable 17-season tenure in daytime TV alongside Rachael during that time.

Indeed, I’ve come to a point where I feel it’s right for me to progress to the next thrilling phase of my broadcasting journey.

First airing in 2006, The Rachael Ray Show quickly rose to become the highest-rated daytime television program launched that year. Over the course of its 17 seasons, it garnered a total of 37 Daytime Emmy Award nominations and took home three wins for Outstanding Talk Show.

At the heart of Rachael’s presentation lies her down-to-earth cooking abilities, complemented by her friendly and laid-back approach during interviews.

High-profile personalities frequently grace the show, with the host of 30-Minute Meals having conversed with notable figures such as Gwyneth Paltrow, the Kardashian family, and even the former First Lady, Michelle Obama.

Back in October 2021, The Rachael Ray Show resumed taping after a pause due to the COVID-19 pandemic, making it one of the early daytime shows to recommence production during that time. This marked its 16th season on air.

2020 proved to be a challenging season for myself and my spouse, as we sadly found ourselves displaced from our home in upstate New York following an unfortunate house fire that occurred in August of the same year.

That year, they endured their Manhattan apartment’s flood in September, along with the sad loss of their pit bull, Isaboo, in June.

In 2008, it was clarified that Rachel did not experience a throat cancer scare; instead, she was undergoing a minor procedure to excise a benign cyst from her vocal cord, indicating her overall health was excellent.

She has a routine appointment scheduled for early December, which won’t interfere with her daily shows or recordings for the Food Network.
