Inside Alex Guarnaschelli and Michael Castellon's relationship: Why did the couple call off their engagement?

Alexandra Marie Guarnaschelli was born on June 20, 1969, in St. Louis, Missouri, to cookbook editor Maria Guarnaschelli.

When Guarnaschelli and Castellon, also a chef, got engaged in June 2020, the Iron Chef America winner said they were in no hurry to get married and were planning a big celebration for the day. But just as fans were anticipating a star-studded wedding, the longtime partners' relationship took an unexpected turn.   

"Wishing her nothing but the best," Castellon said in a statement, confirming the couple's breakup. Although Guarnaschelli is yet to comment on the split, fans believe the chef alluded to her bumpy relationship with Michael long ago. Earlier this month, the Food Network star entertained a host of questions from fans. When asked, "What skill or talent do you wish you had?" Alex replied, "Not being a sucker for love."

The chef went on to unveil a little something about her last few years. Guarnaschelli says, "Some of my biggest regrets have only happened in the last couple of years. I honestly haven't been able to process them all well or gracefully, I use cooking, therapy, exercise, friends, sleep, water, time, crying and cake for healing."
