Giada and Todd’s separation wasn’t exactly a shock to the world when they announced it back in December 2014. But let's not forget, this wasn’t just any ordinary split. They both took to the internet to share a heartfelt statement about their decision. "Our decision to separate comes with a great deal of sadness, our focus on the future and an overwhelming desire for our family’s happiness," Giada wrote on her website at the time. They tied the knot in May 2003 and welcomed their daughter, Jade Thompson, into the world a few years later. Jade is now 10 years old and remains a top priority for both parents.
How Giada Found Love Again
After the divorce, Giada decided to take some time for herself. She spent about a year and a half figuring things out, reflecting on life, and rediscovering who she was outside of marriage. That's when she met Shane Farley, her current boyfriend. Their connection was instant, and Giada says it felt like falling in love all over again. "Once I got settled, Shane and I reconnected, and I felt like a kid again," she told People magazine in a previous interview. This new chapter in her life brought excitement and joy, something she hadn’t felt in a while.
