Her social media post read, “Blah blah blah. Chris and I have made the difficult decision to end our marriage after seven years. We love each other very much and will continue to focus on raising our son. We would appreciate people respecting our privacy at this time. Blah blah blah, not because I dropped some lbs and thought I could bag a basket, and not because he’s a hot James Beard Award-winning chef who can still pull some hot tail. Amicable and all love and respect. Family forever.”
