Curtis Stone and his wife Lindsay Price first began dating in 2009. After a romantic 2012 engagement in Italy, the couple tied the knot in June 2013 and share two children, Emerson and Hudson.

On an episode of Stone's HSN+ podcast Getting Grilled with Curtis Stone from earlier this year, the couple looked back on the early stages of their relationship, including the first time Price visited Stone's home. During the episode, Stone whips out the same chocolate mousse with whiskey that he served her on that day — a gesture that moved the mom of two to tears.

"To be honest, this is the moment I knew you were the one," she recalled.

"It wasn't just because it was delicious. It was because you saw that I liked the whiskey, you thought about me ahead of time and then you made this thing that tasted like ... it was a mind-blowing, delicious ... dessert of dreams."

Goldman told PEOPLE in 2023 that though he didn't want to get married after watching his parents' "really nasty divorce," he changed his mind when he met his now-wife online.

"I was like, ‘Oh, that’s how you’re supposed to feel about people,’" he said.

“We have a one-in-a-million relationship,” he added. “I never thought I would have this kind of capacity for love.”

Ina Garten's relationship to her longtime husband Jeffrey dates back to the '60s when the Barefoot Contessa chef was just 15 years old. The two dated for five years and in 1968 tied the knot in her parents' backyard.

In her upcoming memoir, Be Ready When the Luck Happens, Ina opens up for the first time about a rough patch she and Jeffrey hit in their marriage in the 1970s while she was running her Barefoot Contessa store in New York's Hamptons and he was working in Washington D.C.

“There were certain roles that we played, and I found them really annoying,” Ina told PEOPLE. “I felt that if I just hit the pause button, I would get his attention.”

Ina asked Jeffrey for a separation — a decision she calls "the hardest thing I ever did" — though the two would reconcile after he agreed to see a therapist.

"He was that determined to convince me he was serious about making our marriage work," she writes.

Rachael Ray married John Cusimano in 2005 in Tuscany.

"John and I didn't meet until later in life, and didn't get married until we were almost 40. We knew who we were. We've always been that way, for 20 years. We don't take it too much to heart when one person just has to vent or blow up. We're very good at being quiet also, with each other," Ray explained to PEOPLE in 2021. "We don't look for there to be constant chatter. And we're very good with giving each other space to work on our passions."

“Date nights are crucial, whether it's the cinema, whether it's going out for a drive. We have a little time, but it's quality, and so that is really important,” Gordon told PEOPLE earlier this year of how he and Tana keep the spark going while raising children with a two-decade age gap.

The couple welcomed their first daughter, Megan, in 1998 and later fraternal twins, daughter Holly and son Jack in 1999,  Matilda in 2001; Oscar in 2019 and son Jesse James in 2023.

"I got lucky that I could find somebody relatively quickly after getting divorced," De Laurentiis, who shares daughter Jade with Thompson, told PEOPLE in 2022. "It's so far so good, which is lucky for me because when you're a single mom and you work, it could be tricky to find somebody that can accept that life."
