Ray and her husband, John Cusimano, have talked about spending more time in Italy following the end of The Rachel Ray Show in 2023. As she previously shared on Instagram, “Spending more time in Italy is inspiring me to cook with even more Mediterranean flair.” The star even included her “Genova Yellowfin Tuna and Artichoke Pasta” as one such dish.

As noted by People, Italy also has another significant meaning for Ray and Cusimano. It is where the couple tied the knot back in 2005.

This Isn’t The First Time This Year Ray Shared Her Holiday Plans With Fans

Specifically, this took place at a Tuscan castle called Castello di Velona. This is also where the two renewed their vows back in 2015. Ray’s personal connection to Italy was also highlighted with her series, Rachael Ray in Tuscany.

As the publication noted, Ray shared, “We’ve done this celebration every year for 10 years.” She continued, “We’re very busy; I have five jobs. We don’t see everybody often enough, and we probably take them and their friendship for granted. But they make us better people for knowing them.”
