General: Food Network, Giada De Laurentiis »
Giada’s Husband, Todd Thompson
 |
We’re a bit concerned about Giada’s husband, Todd Thompson.
Though he seems like a lovely man, we always thought he looked a bit old and frail for his age, from the random footage we’ve seen of him hanging around with his “friends” on the lawn. But while watching this week’s episode of Giada At Home, all of us here at FNH were shocked by these images of his sunken, hardened, malnourished face:
Yes, we all age and get wrinkles… but yikes! Those are simply not the crow’s feet of a healthy man in his early 40s! He looks like he spent the last 74 years of his life on a cattle ranch. What the hell is Giada feeding this guy? Mascarpone and Marlboros? If that’s the impact Giada’s cooking has on your skin, I’m calling Olive Garden instead.
Ina Garten’s husband, Jeffrey, has at least 20 years on this guy – and even he doesn’t look that old. Somebody feed this man some fatty acids, pronto.

I think this is what happens to a man who has be emasculated by his wife. He looks like he’s been rode hard and put up wet. Too bad. I’m sure he’s a nice guy.
Perhaps Giada is slowly killing him by feeding him with lead utensils. After all, it appears by her smile she is a sociopath.
That’s what happens when you forget to put on your sunscreen. Nothing wrinkles the skin faster than too much sun exposure!
Must be that California sun! Do guys use sunscreen?
Stress. Can you imagine enduring what he must in living with her. The stress it must cause. I think we may have hit on a new reality show.
Soooo true! I hate how she exaggerates her words when she talks out of her square shaped mouth. Why don’t they tell her to fix that mouth? I hate the way she says Spaghetti! Poor Man!
you are just plain mean! are you so perfect that you have to go around picking on people in the public eye on a blog post? perhaps he has his own stress runnin a successful clothing line! they seem to look pretty happy, live in a beautiful home with dream jobs and a gorgeous little girl. i only hope that one day you can be as blessed with inner beauty on the inside and also have as much love in your life. cuz obviously if you were truly happy and surrounded by love you certainly wouldn’t waste your precious life energy spreading negative attention to anyone who will listen. love & light
Hi Todd!!!
I agree with disappointed! Do you think it has to do with envy?
SHUT UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HI-larious! The post and all the comments! Haven’t laughed this hard in months!
Looks like they would both be very careful of sun exposure since Giada’s brother died of skin cancer …
Maybe she’s feeding him the dead brother
Well … he does have fair and freckled skin.
Maybe he has way too much leisure time, and spends it all out in sun.
Better wear a hat and sunscreen, dude !
Less concerned about Todd’s wrinkles than I am Giada’s pancetta-smacking. I just nearly threw the computer through the TV screen in an effort to make her close her damn mouth while she’s eating.
He’s always seemed a little frail to me.
Hell he is MUCH better looking then Mr. Rachael Ray… LOL
Could be all the stress he has working as a “fashion designer” at Anthropologie. Oh wait. Anthropologie doesn’t have fashion designers, they have product specialists or product interpreters.
Aw, come on — he’s fair-haired and fair-skinned and likes to bike and surf. Looks like a lot of my friends, actually.
Yeah, he might be a little abused by the sun but other than that, he looks totally fine.
Excessive motor boating.
he is not that FAIR. In many episodes he is pretty tan. he has spent too much time in the sun and probably a poor diet. Giada’s cooking isnt THAT healthy. He’s looking old.
Juan, I kinda agree…he’s looking a bit weathered. Is HE the new WINSTON or PALL MALL man?
he probably NEVER owned sunglasses. squinted his way through many days of smoking outside of his job (anthropologie).
cant you see him standing outside smoking, all squinty, i can.
For those folks who keep saying “oh he is fair”, I have to disagree. The man seems to be of an average skin/hair/eye color (Brown hair / Brown eyes do not = overly fair). Bobby Flay, for example, is fair, and the same age .. and his crow’s feet aren’t that bad. The man clearly needs some more fat in his diet to help fill those sunken lines.
Giadia, give your man a burger!
He looks like a lesbian.
Whenever I try to find Todd’s birthday info, I get re-directed to something about Giada…. Hhhmmm do we have something to hide?
I now wonder more than ever how old he is. I was always under the impression that he was at least bi. He just seems a little too timid and “gay” around Giada.
…as I pick my self off the floor. LOFL!!!
Giada is draining the life out of this poor fella! Maybe she can give him a “mahs-ca-pon-ah” facial.
SOOOOO TRUE! POOR MAN! SAY A PRAYER FOR THAT ONE!
How would you look if your wife exposed her cleavage to the HGTV crowd daily. Don’t forget all the beatings he must receive with wet spig-ah-teeny.
Giada is a VAMPIRE!
“Excessive motor boating”
LOL
Emasculated, dominated, frustrated and, after Miss Giada became pregnant, probably CASTRATED!!!
Poor S.O.B.!!!!!!!!!!
I agree, he needs moisturizer! But I have a feeling that he is secretly gay. Maybe he doesn’t take care of his skin so that he looks more rugged and stay in the closet a while longer?
I don’t understand the negativity toward Giada – she’s cute, witty, neat, and attentive to her husband. Todd is older than she, but obviously they are very much in love- He has an out, if he wants it, but obviously he doesn’t. Leave them alone. Sounds like you’re all jealous!
I am the original Judith!!! This person does not express my views at all!!! For heavens sake I find Giada totally irritating. Jillian, please tell every one that that person is not ME!!
She is totally irritating!! how do we get her off the Food Network?? Her short arms and small hands freaks me out! Who cares about her family history! Big deal about her grandpa that they keep bringing up, blah blah blah, we know already! Stuff her in her own lasagna!
yES, I’m SO irritated by her SQUARE mouth AND her cleavage – Zip it up, Giada!
wow, I thought this was supposed to be humorous comments, but these are downright mean. If you don’t have anything nice to say, the don’t say anything.
I think they are happy and trying to make family life and work combine well. What is so wrong with that?
I saw beautiful Giada and her gorgeous husband at dinner last night and the first thing that caught my attention was her handsome husband. He is polished, refined and a wonderful example of a shining, young husband.
I think Todd enjoys sports and he is athletic looking to me. He has a slender frame but he is strong looking, Giada is tiny woman it wouldn’t look natural if her husband is 50 lbs over weight. I think they make a nice looking couple and,I think their baby is adorable.
why is this soo much about how he looks. safe to say none of you know the man and apparently she does….so jealous. shes a damn good cook and if you dont like her dont watch.
RRRRRESSS-TEE-LAYNNN-UHHHHHH works wonders.
Actually, he’s very handsome – it’s in his genes. btw, those are laugh lines — a pity nobody actually recognizes what they are…but good for Todd, Giada and Jade.
I would like to just say that I think they make a great couple. Giada is just beyond beautiful and Todd is a nice looking man and they seem to have a loving relationship and a great little family. More power to them. Everyone needs to be a little more kind towards Giada I think she has a great personality and I love her show.
You people a petty and rude! Shame on all of you!!
Amy you are right. All these people just sound like jelious losers.. get a life people!
I love giada’s cooking performances. I love most of her food….but I get absolutely livid when I see a person who shows off her skills in the kitchen when her boobs are about to have a falling out and when she takes a mouth full of food masticates it and talks with that food half falling out of her mouth showing the world her ignorance.
I think Giana is beautiful and I love her show. I watch everyday and if not record it for later. Jade is very cute and looks like her mother. Maybe Todd gets to much sun and he is just slim and probably he just burns it off. Much better than being overweight. It isn’t always what you eat it is how much. Her clothes are for TV, you noticed didn’t you? Jealous is probably a good term to use here. Who cares about your negative thoughts, I think she is lovely and I enjoy her cooking and show VERY much. They seem to be a loving couple and live a great life. Good for them.
He’s actually a very handsome man and FIT! You can’t say that much about the rest of the chefs and spouses at the Food Network. The wrinkles are laugh lines, people.
I feel sorry for Todd – what with all the recent ‘blind items’ about Giada having affairs outside their marriage. I hope it is not true as neither he nor their baby deserve it. If true and she wants to to play around then divorce her husband and let him take their daughter then go nuts.
Wow all the negative morons on here Giada is not only a talented chef and great asset to Food Network I would guess from what I have seen she is a wonderful wife and mother. The men and women that are making crappy comments just shut up. You are jealous of what she is and what she has. Get over yourselves go take a Valium and relax stop trying to make your life seem better by putting someone else down.
PEOPLE, HE’S A FASHION DESIGNER FOR CHRIST SAKE!!!
This gorgeous, tiny, delicious, chunk of Italian dream cake married a fashion designer. What more do you need to know? He’s artsy, borderline gay, gives in to her every whim, is a “shopping buddy”. Clearly, she wants someone that is not going to challenge or disrupt her world. He is probably very sensitive (gay) and loving (gay gay). Some women don’t want to get “reamed” like an animal. He’s the luckiest guy alive. He probably looks like he does from low fat intake and a lot of soccer or something whilst she does her show. I hate him just for getting to touch her. She could boss me all day, as long as I got what I wanted at night.
Wow, for you people that are making negative comments about Giada and her husband, I don’t understand how instead of being happy for other people successes you bring up things to put them down. Definitely very negative and sounds like jealousy. Giada is beautiful and if she wants to wear low cut shirts she can. I say if you got it, flaunt it. Sounds like those that have a problem with it may not be able to wear those type of shirts.
Giada is most annoying. In particular when she pronounces in Italian in the middle of an English sentence. She sounds rather moronic and that is when i turn the tv off. I like her recipes but don’t like her. Jade is sweet and darling. Todd looks brow-beaten which i’m sure he is. other than that – a regular family. Once she said “spagheeeeeeeeti” then called it spaghetti to her guests.
i think they look blissfully happy and if smiling so much were to give me deep smile lines then BRING THEM ON!!! they have many things to be grateful for… both have successful careers, they live in a gorgeous home on the ocean front in a city where it is always sunny and have a beautiful little girl! rather than spreading around what’s wrong about celebrities and picking on them people, maybe one should look in the mirror first and see if you are so perfect yourself. i know i’m sure not! but it would be better serving of your energies to pour out words of affection into the world vs criticism no? i bet if you tried it you would be amazed at how your own life would look a wee bit brighter! love & light to you all
I wonder if Todd actually works to earn a living. He seems to always have time to be surfing, scate boarding on a motorized board, spending time with his friends waiting for Giada to “feed” them. You never see him helping her in the kitchen – just waiting for the food to be provided for him. Is this the same way with making a living? Is Giada the breadwinner and he the breadeater? There seems to be a question if he even has a job. Must be nice.
Someone wrote that she is a few years younger than Todd, but actually they are only one year apart.
I heard her say in an interview that she met him in high school, when she was 18 y/o and he was 19 y/o. I’m not sure if that means he is one year older or if he is just born later in the year, as in after her, but he is definitely NOT a few YEARS older than her. I don’t mean to get anyone upset, but I just wanted to say what I heard from the interview. It shouldn’t seem so surprising though because most men don’t wear lotions, or sunscreen, or at least the norm of society is that ‘real’ machismo men don’t, so maybe he is a real machismo man! Giada seems like the real sweet wife who cooks and takes care of her family, so he’s gotta be the typical as well. No?
OH! I stand corrected. I decided to find that interview on YouTube and although I cannot access it somehow, because of errors, I read the comments and people posted an interview in USA Today that says she is 5 years younger than Todd, so if she is 41 y/o this year, he is 46ish. So sorry about the mistake! And I guess that does make more sense. Funny how they’ve been dating since 1989 when she was 18-19y/o and he would have been like 25 or so, maybe the interview states she was 18-19, and he was a few years older. Once again, I stand corrected!
Oh, who cares! “Mean people” comments only make the commenters seem meaner, stupider and smaller… unless you also are of such a mindset (hopefully, not!).
That being said, he does seem to be pretty lean, and likely more fair skinned by nature, so if he hasn’t been good about using sunscreen, that would contribute to premature aging, especially around the eyes. IF it matters to HIM (nevermind all of you), he should get botox around his eyes and use sunscreen(!!!), as well as good skin care products. (Nevermind the “gay” comments… all you guys should listen up!). A few months later his skin will look remarkably better! This may not be important to him, or her… in which case, it isn’t really our business either! ;-) JMHO. I wouldn’t normally write about something like this, but I stumbled onto this while looking for something else, and some of the (very shallow) negative comments compelled me to comment…. I do think those who spent time writing nasty, negative comments on this topic should consider getting a life… and let others wrinkle and cook and love and live as they please… and worry about your own business instead!
well not looks that matter its one’s inner being and he with her she is very lovely looking lady so leave the guy alone
Some of you guys are really strange with your vitriolic comments. Does this make you feel good to say ugly things about people you don’t know? I don’t get it. Todd’s got wrinkles. Who gives a sh*t? He’s a good looking guy with wrinkles. Giada talks with food in her mouth. All these TV chefs talk with food in their mouths. So do you. Don’t like it? Then don’t watch. Or do watch and then troll around on obscure web blogs hissing and berating people. Yeah, that’s winning. Did you get picked on in high school or something? Relax. Utilize your remote controls. Everything will be fine. :)
This is what happens when you drink alot Alcohol.women can hide it with mackup but please don’t look at them in the morning lmfao.
