Rachael Ray reveals husband John Cusimano’s ‘heartbreak’ over his career failure as she maintains ‘$100m’ cooking empire

In a recent, frank podcast episode, Rachel Ray revealed that her husband is devastated about his career.

Since 2005, the 56-year-old TV chef has been wed to John Cusimano, 57.

Rachael revealed his professional failure sadness in an episode of her new “unscripted and raw” debut podcast, I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead, suggesting that John, a musician and lawyer, laments not being an A-list rock star.

“We’re here in Tuscany,” Rachael said on this week’s show, adding that her husband and this episode’s guest, Jeremy Sisto, had been in the studio together working on their songs.

She disclosed, “My husband wanted to go to Berkeley and be Trent Reznor,” alluding to the well-known rocker from Nine Inch Nails.

Rachael continued by describing how he “ended up a lawyer” but continues to play music professionally. He is a member of The Cringe.

“It s a bit of a heartbreak for him because he really feels like he could have been Trent Reznor,” she continued.

Rachael said, “When he’s on tour with one band or another, he’ll contact me from the road and say, ‘I just wish I was the headliner, I just want I was up there tonight.

Rachael’s career seems to be growing steadily in the meantime.

According to reports, the TV chef’s numerous TV appearances, brand partnerships, cookbooks, and cookware lines form the foundation of her $100 million empire.

MARRIAGE SPATS

Rachael and her husband have a history of conflict, which the famous chef has already discussed in public.

“It s very hard, especially for hot-tempered or creative loud people to be able to calm it down” she had previously said.

“John and I never manage to calm things down. We constantly have massive screaming matches.

“But I think it’s healthy, I really do,” she said. Those that are too silent are not someone I trust.

I don’t know whether we ever apologized to one another, but I would rather you tell me what you think when you think it. Let’s all get it out there.

“Either he kisses me on the head or I pat him on the ass. That’s the apology. It is recognized.

HEALTH CONCERNS

Months before they were married in 2005, Rachael submitted paperwork designating her spouse as her power of attorney.

Recently, when the chef seemed to be slurring her words in cooking videos, it raised health worries.

And according to court documents that The U.S. Sun recently obtained, the well-known chef requested that her husband serve as her power of attorney decades before admirers started to worry about her health.

According to the paper, “In the event that you become incapacitated or incapable, the authority you grant below remains in effect.

“Be advised that this is a crucial document. It grants your designated agent broad authority to manage your assets while you are still alive, including the ability to sell, mortgage, or otherwise dispose of any real or personal property without your consent or prior notice.

“These powers will continue to exist even after you become disabled or incompetent.”
