Celebrity chef Giada De Laurentiis announced her split from husband Todd Thompson after 11 years of marriage on Monday.

But the breakdown in their relationship comes amid claims that unfounded rumours of an 'affair with John Mayer had cast a shadow over their marriage for years', according to the New York Daily News.

44-year-old Food Network star Giada's announcement that she and fashion designer Todd - who have a six-year-old daughter Jade together - are splitting, comes three years after she was forced to deny claims she had been cheating on Todd with musician John Mayer, 37.
