Since their divorce, Giada De Laurentiis and Todd Thompson have stayed in each other's lives for the sake of their daughter, Jade, co-parenting her since their split in 2014. "We live a stone's throw away from each other, like five minutes, which has really helped keep Jade stable," she told People. Although the exes aren't pictured together very often anymore, De Laurentiis' Instagram showed a photo of one family reunion in 2019, with a caption that read, "Happy graduation Jadey!!"
In the same interview for People, De Laurentiis talked about being a single mother, and while it comes with its struggles, she's happy to have Thompson on board to help her when times are tough: "Getting along with my ex-husband really helps as well. We're supportive of each other and, in turn, supportive of Jade."
Being a single mom can be tricky. Fortunately, De Laurentiis has learned over the years when it's time to call for reinforcements. "Her dad is pretty good at juggling so I think you just need to be okay with asking for help because you're going to need it," she told People.
