When Food Network’s Secrets of a Restaurant Chef celebrity Anne Burrell‘s colleague Ted Allen mentioned meeting Burrell’s girlfriend on the “Derek and Romaine” display last week, some gasped in horror and shock — But Anne Burrell isn’t out! What has he done?
Anne Burrell herself, however, was not one of the gaspers and her shock was limited to wondering why Allen’s comment was being interpreted as an “outing.” Her publicist told The New York Post: “Anne does not feel she was outed.

Anne Burrelloften called herself a lucky girl.
And a large part of that was because she had her very own “Prince Charming” Stuart Claxton, whom she married in 2021. Prior to Anne’s tragic June 17 death, she lived with Stuart and his 20-year-old son Javier in their Brooklyn home—and the Food Network star recently assured that every daytime with her little family felt like a fairytale.
“October will be four years,” she told the Daily Mail in April. “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.”
Indeed, when Anne was not posting about food or travel on social media, she often shared photos of herself and her husband referring to them with the #TheClaxtons hashtag.
“You make me the happiest girl in the world!!!” Anne gushed in a 2022 Valentine’s Day send to Stuart. “I romance you to the satellite and back my sweet!!!”
