Anne Burrell reflected on settling down with her husband after ‘living the rock star chef life' before her death
Anne Burrell shared insight into her life months before her tragic death on Tuesday. The celebrity chef was found unresponsive in the shower at her home in Brooklyn, New York before being pronounced dead at the scene at age 55, police said. Just three months prior, Burrell went on Tori Spelling's 'misSPELLING' podcast, where she dove into marrying her husband Stuart Claxton in 2021. The couple had met on the dating app Bumble in 2018. 8 Anne Burrell in 2017. Phil & Anne's Good Time Lounge / Facebook The 'Beverly Hills, 90210' star asked the 'Worst Cooks in America' host if she purposely waited to settle down. 'From when I was a kid, I don't know why, but I always was like, I am not getting married until I feel like I have something in life to share,' Burrell explained, 'until I have accomplished stuff.' 'I was living my best life!' she added about her 20s and 30s. 'I was like, living the rock star chef life. I was working a lot, and I had a great social life.' 8 Anne Burrell on Food Network. Instagram/@chefbeaumac Then, one day, Burrell's perspective shifted. 'I just started to feel like, all right, you're getting a little old to keep on doing this,' she recalled. Along with a husband, Burrell also gained a stepson Javier. 'Kids were never on my radar, really,' the cook confessed. 'I love being an aunt. I have nieces and nephews. So I'm like, [being a stepmom] is the perfect amount of parenting for me.' 8 Rachael Ray and Anne Burrell. rachaelray/Instagram Over the years, Burrell has opened up about her relationship, recently telling the Daily Mail in April, 'October will be four years. It seems like it's been four minutes. I don't know if it's a honeymoon [phase] but I feel like it's settled into married life days which I really enjoy.' In honor of Valentine's Day in 2022, the step-mom gushed over her other half, penning, 'You make me the happiest girl in the world!!! I love you to the moon and back my sweet!!!' As for meeting Mr. Right, Burrell once admitted Claxton also felt the instant spark between them. 8 Anne Burrell in 2017 at the Good Time Lounge. Anne Burrell 'I don't know if we had both thought of marriage, but we both were like, 'Oh, yeah, this is something,'' Burrell told People in 2020. ''This is really going to be real and this is going to turn into something.'' 'Once you get to be a woman of 50 years old, you don't really think that marriage is going to be on the plate for you,' she detailed. 'I was always really focused on my career and marriage was never a huge thing in my life that I was looking for. Then when I met Stuart, my opinion about all that changed.' Giving followers glimpses into their lives over the years, Burrell posted a month after their wedding, in a 2021 Thanksgiving post, 'A new home, a wedding, a stepson, great family, great friends, good health, great fans and just so much more!!! Lots of love to all!!!' 8 Anne Burrell at the Austin Food and Wine Festival. Scott Moore/Shutterstock Two years after their nuptials, the couple was still as in love as ever. 'I have to say, I love being married,' Burrell told People in 2023. 'We're together all the time because Stuart works from home. It's the being together all the time, but it's also the adventure together.' 'It's been wonderful, to say the least,' echoed Claxton. 'Anne and I hadn't lived together before we moved in and got married, so it's been a whole adventure, but very lovely at the same time.' The businessman has yet to address Burrell's death, however, her family confirmed the news in a statement to People on Tuesday. 8 Anne Burrell in 2015. Larry Marano/Shutterstock 'Anne was a beloved wife, sister, daughter, stepmother, and friend — her smile lit up every room she entered,' they shared. 'Anne's light radiated far beyond those she knew, touching millions across the world. Though she is no longer with us, her warmth, spirit, and boundless love remain eternal.' A cause of death has yet to be revealed. That same day, police officers shared that EMS 'responded and pronounced her deceased on scene,' sharing that the 911 call was originally for a reported cardiac arrest. 8 Anne Burrell at Grand Tasting Village in Miami, Florida. Gcaballero/Southbeachphoto/Shutterstock On Thursday, sources told The Post Burell's body was found next to dozens of pills. The author's death is still an ongoing investigation. Burrell is best known for hosting 'Worst Cooks in America' on Food Network for 27 seasons, from 2010 to 2024. After her passing, a representative from Food Network shared with The Post: 'Anne was a remarkable person and culinary talent — teaching, competing and always sharing the importance of food in her life and the joy that a delicious meal can bring. Our thoughts are with Anne's family, friends and fans during this time of tremendous loss.' 8 Anne Burrell and her husband Stuart Claxton. chefanneburrell/Instagam During her time at the Food Network, Burrell became close pals with Rachael Ray — who judged 'Worst Cooks' from 2015 to 2017 — and fellow chef Alex Guarnaschelli. Both ladies paid tribute to Burrell, with Ray, 56, writing in part, 'I'll miss her friendship deeply. Everyone whose life she touched will miss her. Sending love to Stuart and everyone who knew and loved Anne. We've lost someone truly special.' Guarnaschelli, 55, noted in her own post, 'Make this moment about her. She'd want you to go out, raise a glass, sing karaoke (including this Sia song–one of her favorite 'Worst Cooks' warm up songs) and be able to say, like she does, #ilovewhatido –so do it for her. In her honor.'

Savage X Fenty doubles down on inclusion, even as others pull back
For Savage X Fenty, the lingerie line founded by Rihanna, DEI is at the center of all that they do, chief marketing officer Vanessa Wallace said at a recent Axios event in Cannes. Why it matters: As many brands quietly retreat from diversity, equity and inclusion commitments, Savage X Fenty is leaning in, building its identity and commercial strategy around its brand values. What she's saying: "From the beginning, Rihanna has stood for inclusivity," Wallace said. "Savage X Fenty redefined what inclusive looks like in lingerie. We always say: it's not the size that defines you — it's your confidence." Zoom in: The brand's Valentine's Day campaign, Love Your Way, exemplified that ethos by spotlighting different forms of love — self-love, romantic love, sisterhood and friendship. "It wasn't about being disruptive," Wallace said. "It was about being true to who we are and giving people the power to define love for themselves." The intrigue: Because the company's values are so embedded and understood by its consumer base, there was very little pushback to the campaign, says Wallace. "The community applauded it," she says. "When I'm scrolling TikTok or reading comments, it's clear people recognized what we were doing. We're just showing up authentically — and always trying to elevate voices that aren't often heard." Zoom in: While "The Navy," Rihanna's fan base, remains central, the brand is also growing into mainstream retail. Savage X Fenty can now be found in Nordstrom in the U.S., Galeries Lafayette in France, and Selfridges in the U.K. "It's our chance to meet the girl next door," Wallace said. What to watch: Expect more creative collaborations and a push into sports.

Tinder's Newest Feature Lets You and Your Bestie Swipe as a Package Deal
Tinder's Newest Feature Lets You and Your Bestie Swipe as a Package Deal originally appeared on Parade. Tinder is shaking up the dating scene with a fresh new way to meet people and we couldn't be more excited. Introducing the new Double Date feature, which is designed to let you and your bestie swipe together as a team. Forget the nerves of solo swiping or awkward one-on-one chats because you can now bring your partner-in-crime along for the ride and match with other pairs who vibe just as well as you do. Here's the deal: you and a friend team up to browse potential matches as a duo. When your double-date squad matches with another pair, a group chat opens up, making it easy—and way more fun—to plan hangouts, swap stories, and maybe even spark some chemistry in a low-pressure setting. If you prefer a more personal connection, you can also message individuals within the matched pair privately. The best part is that you still keep your own individual Tinder profile, so you're free to explore solo connections anytime you want. 🎬 SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox 🎬 Why is this a big deal? For starters, it takes the pressure off. Dating can be extremely nerve-wracking, especially when you're flying solo, but having your bestie by your side means there's instant moral support—and double the laughs. Plus, it opens up new social dynamics, making the whole experience feel more casual and less users are loving the feature, especially younger daters. Almost 90% of those who tried Double Date are under 29, and interestingly, women are three times more likely to engage with paired profiles than individual ones. Group chats also tend to be livelier, with a 35% increase in messages compared to regular one-on-one convos. Clearly, two is better than one when it comes to breaking the ice. Double Date taps into a shift toward more social, inclusive, and authentic ways to connect. It's perfect if you want to take the pressure off, make new friends, or just have a fun night out with people who already have good vibes. Right now, the feature is rolling out in the U.S., with plans to go global soon. So if you've been tired of solo swiping or awkward first dates, grab your bestie, team up, and swipe together. Who knows? Your next great connection could come with a built-in Newest Feature Lets You and Your Bestie Swipe as a Package Deal first appeared on Parade on Jun 18, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Jun 18, 2025, where it first appeared.
