Giada De Laurentiis' marriage is officially over.
The Food Network star and her husband of 11 years, fashion designer Todd Thompson, filed for divorce on Tuesday, People Magazine reported. The news came less than 24 hours after the 44-year-old celebrity chef revealed she and her husband have been separated for months.
Thompson cited irreconcilable differences as his reason for the divorce and stated July 15 as the date of separation. Thompson asked the court to deny De Laurentiis spousal support, E! Online reported.
De Laurentiis and Thompson married in May 2003 and share a six-year-old daughter named Jade Marie.
"After an amicable separation since July, Todd (Thompson) and I have decided to end our marriage. Although our decision to separate comes with a great deal of sadness, our focus on the future and overwhelming desire for our family's happiness has given us the strength to move forward on separate, yet always connected paths," she said in a statement about her split via Facebook.
"Todd and I share a beautiful daughter and a lifetime of great memories that we both treasure more than anything. We are so thankful for our friends and family, and really appreciate the support in this time of change."
