Unfortunately, not every celebrity engagement ends in marriage, and not all relationships are built to last. Case in point: two years after Michael Castellon first proposed to Alex Guarnaschelli, and five years after they began dating, Page Six reported that the couple has split. At this time, a rep for Guarnaschelli has not responded to the outlet's request for comment. For his part, Castellon kept things amicable. "Wishing her nothing but the best," he stated in an exclusive with Closer

Following the former couple's engagement in 2020, Guarnaschelli told People that they were in no rush to walk down the aisle, but were "excited to plan a big celebration." The two exes met for the first time when the "Chopped" judge dined at the 39-year-old chef's restaurant. "I was out to dinner with a friend, and at a restaurant, and I knew the waiter," Guarnaschelli recalled in an interview with People. After Guarnaschelli commented on how good the steak was, "the waiter  ... said, 'Oh my god, my best friend is the cook, the chef, here. He's amazing. You got to meet him.' "I went in to meet him and tell him the steak was delicious and that was it," Guarnaschelli added. It's unsurprising that Guarnaschelli, of all people, was won over by a tasty meal! Here's to hoping that her next partner also knows their way around the kitchen.
