When Giada De Laurentiis and Todd Thompson tied the knot in 2003, signing a prenup was not much of a thought. At that point he was likely worth more than she was, but that changed quickly because by the time they had reached their first anniversary, De Laurentiis had garnered mainstream success. That was the year when she began working with the Food Network, and from that point on the money began rolling in. Now, 12 years later, the couple's financial records are starting to be dissected, and that supposedly amicable divorce is reportedly beginning to get a little bit messy.
According to a report by Radar Online, De Laurentiis stands to lose a lot of money in the proceedings, and while they have asked for joint custody of their young daughter Jade, Thompson has already requested not to have to pay child support, probably because his soon-to-be-ex can easily handle the cost of raising their child on her own. She has already told the court she is willing to pay child support to care for the financial needs of their daughter.
In the midst of their split, there have been numerous rumors about De Laurentiis cheating with several men over the last few years. While she has publicly denied hooking up with John Mayer, Bobby Flay and Matt Lauer — to name just a few — you have to wonder how the whispers about infidelity will ultimately affect this case.
Readers: What do you make of the situation? If Thompson believes she was a serial cheater, do you think that will motivate him to go after more money in divorce court, sort of as pay back? Will this supposedly civil divorce turn messy in the press? Let us know what you think in the comments section below.
