Food Network star Giada De Laurentiis, 37, and her husband, Anthropologie clothes designer Todd Thompson, recently announced they are expecting their first child together. Let’s hope this pregnancy inspires him to design a maternity line for Anthropologie! The Everyday Italian chef opened up to this month’s Redbook magazine about her surprise pregnancy.
On being the best-dressed chef on TV (and not wearing crisp button-down “Martha Stewart” shirts):“”I have large breasts, those shirts are boxy, and I’m already short! and how people move in them? I’m most comfortable in T-shirts, but they have to have some style to them. I need something easy to move in that’s also sexy.”
On her pregnancy surprise:
“It was a complete surprise—not planned at all. It was never that we didn’t want children; it was more like, “If we have them someday, great. If not, that’s fine too.” So when this happened I was shocked, and the first thing I said to my husband was, “How is this possible?” And he looked at me, laughing, and said, “You know how it’s possible.” Which I did—it was just that in almost 18 years together, we’d never run into this before.”
Is there anything she is nervous about?“Oh yes. Everything, in fact. How big will I get? Will it be an easy delivery? How is my child going to turnout? Will I be a good mom? Every single moment of the day I hope and pray I’m doing the right thing.”
Got something to say?
