With Matt Lauer?!? I hope not. Could never stand Giada. Came across and cold and arrogant.
I never liked her either until I learned about what a horrific childhood she had. I can’t even imagine, it was so bad. I feel very sad for her and give her props for even getting through life
Plenty of people have rough childhoods. Doesn’t give them the right to be c u n t s ??♀️
The affair with Matt was obvious while they filmed. Their chemistry came through the tv.

Giada & Bobby Flay
…and Matt Lauer? That’s random
Actually, not random. I remember her segments on the Today Show and he raved about her.
Wait is that second name Matt Lauer??!
Matt Lauer? Oh good lord… She really does have a thing for toxic men.
Giada is the epitome of toxic female energy.
Please say it wasn’t Matt Lauer. So gross.
Unrelated but I had a mutual connection to a lesser known/newer Food Network person who worked with Giada on some projects. She said every single network star lifted her up except Giada, who was an absolute condescending b**** to her. I didn’t hear any rumors of affairs at that time, but this was a couple years after her divorce so the person may not have heard anything like that.
Haha! I thought the second person was Matt LaBlanc but Lauer fits better. Ewwww!
Rumor has it John Mayer was the one that ended her marriage
Rumor mill has always been Matt Lauer.
Aren’t there rumors about her just sleeping around with anyone and religiously cheating on her then husband?
