Ina Garten gets candid on her separation from husband Jeffrey in new memoir
from her husband, Jeffrey Garten, when she began running her specialty food store, the Barefoot Contessa, in the late ’70s.
“There was no expectation about who got home from work first and what they should do, because I never got home from work!” she recalls in her memoir. “I wouldn’t be able to figure out who I was or what I wanted unless I was on my own,” Ina went on to write. “I needed that freedom.” “In true Jeffrey form, he said, ‘If you feel like you need to be on your own, you need to do it.’ He packed his bag and went home to Washington with no plan to come back,” the TV personality recalls.When the Barefoot Contessa closed its doors for the winter season, Jeffrey and Ina reunited to discuss how they could move forward in their marriage.
“I think how crazy that was and how dangerous it was, but we wouldn’t have the relationship we have now if I hadn’t done it,” she told People. “It changed him, but it also changed me too.”Bethenny Frankel compared this $7 ‘illuminating’ blush to one twice the price: ‘Wow’
