Is Alex Guarnaschelli Still Engaged To Michael Castellon? Here's What She Said

Let’s talk about the buzz in the culinary world. Is Food Network star Alex Guarnaschelli’s engagement to chef Michael Castellon still on? The star of Alex in America gave some interesting answers during an Instagram “Ask Me Anything” session on February 17, and her replies have raised a few eyebrows. Surprisingly, there was no mention of Michael when discussing her future plans.

Alex’s Focus on Family, Not Wedding Bells

When one fan asked, “Anything coming up that you are looking forward to?” most people might have guessed that a wedding with Chopped champion Michael would be part of her answer. But Alex didn’t mention her fiancé of over a year and a half. Instead, she spoke only about her daughter, Ava. She replied, “I’m taking a vacation with Ava in March,” and added, “This summer, I plan on sitting on the beach and swimming in the water.” It seems like family time is at the forefront of her mind right now.

Alex Denies Being Married

When asked directly if she was married, Alex responded with a firm “No.” Interestingly, she didn’t mention her engagement or the fact that she’s been planning to marry Michael since June 20, 2020. After this AMA session, Alex even deleted the slide containing her response, which has only fueled more speculation.

Love on Her Mind?

Alex gave another telling answer that hinted at possible changes in her love life. When someone asked her, “What skill or talent do you wish you had?” she replied, “Not being a sucker for love.” This response alone suggests that something might be amiss in her personal life. Could this be a sign of a split?

Alex’s Process of Healing

Alex opened up about her regrets during the session. When asked, “Do you have any regrets in life? And how do you process/handle them?” she shared a heartfelt response. “Some of my biggest regrets have only happened in the last couple of years,” she began. She went on to explain, “I honestly haven’t been able to process them all well or gracefully.” Alex revealed that she uses various methods for healing, including cooking, therapy, exercise, friends, sleep, water, time, crying, and cake. It’s clear that she’s been through some tough times recently and is actively working through them.

Changes on Social Media

It’s not just her words that are raising questions. Alex used to post regular photos of Michael on her Instagram page. However, he’s now noticeably absent from her feed. It seems like the chef has scrubbed any recent snapshots of Michael, although the photo from their engagement remains. This absence is a significant change and has fans wondering if the couple is still together.

A Look Back at Their Love Story

Alex and Michael had been dating for four years before he popped the question with a stunning family heirloom emerald ring. At the time of their engagement, Alex was excited about planning a “rager” of a wedding. She told People, “We’re not in any hurry, but I want to have a blowout. I want a tri-state rager.” This excitement is in stark contrast to her recent silence about the engagement.

Alex’s previous marriage was to Brandon Clark, whom she met while working at Butter, the New York restaurant she owns. They tied the knot on April 29, 2007, and their daughter Ava was born in July of that year. Alex and Brandon divorced in 2015, and it seems like her current relationship might be heading in a similar direction.
