Giada announced the couple's divorce in a Facebook post in December 2014. "After an amicable separation since July, Todd and I have decided to end our marriage," she wrote. "Although our decision to separate comes with a great deal of sadness, our focus on the future and overwhelming desire for our family's happiness has given us the strength to move forward on separate, yet always connected paths." She continued, "Todd and I share a beautiful daughter and a lifetime of great memories that we both treasure more than anything. We are so thankful for our friends and family, and really appreciate the support in this time of change."
The two did not have a prenuptial agreement, which led to a messy divorce. TMZ shared the details of the divorce in September 2015. Giada was ordered to pay Todd $9,000 a month in child support. In exchange for keeping all rights related to her brand, she agreed to give Todd their $3.2 million Pacific Palisades home, $300,000 in art and furniture, and more.
That wasn't the worst of it, however. Giada also had to agree to give Todd 50 percent of the unpaid advances on several cookbooks and other projects she had in the works. The total pay from those projects alone was close to $4 million, the outlet reported. The money part may have been unpleasant, but the two agreed on the most important issue. They agreed to split custody of their daughter, Jade.
