Top Chef is expected to return to Bravo in March with a new season. Gail Simmons, Padma Lakshmi, and Tom Colicchio will return as judges on the Emmy-winning culinary program. Simmons has been a member of the Bravo show since its inception (2006). She is a dynamic television personality, food critic/writer, and culinary expert. Her husband, businessman Jeremy Abrams, is her staunchest backer. Simmons and Abrams have been married for 12 years. They married on August 17, 2008. They reside in New York City and have two lovely children, Kole and Dahlia.
Gail Simmons and Jeremy Abrams met via a mutual friend.
Simmons and Abrams are Canadians who met via mutual acquaintances while in New York, where Abrams was studying at Western University. They quickly became friends, although they were dating other people at the time. They eventually moved on from their previous relationships and began dating. Their first date concluded with the New Jersey Devils celebrating the Stanley Cup. Abrams proposed to Simmons in August 2007, and they married a year later.
In an interview, Simmons said of her husband:
“No matter where we are in the world, we are each other’s home, and our family unit is the most essential thing.” My spouse and I both work and travel a lot. Over the previous 12 years, he has developed a firm, and I am pleased of what he has accomplished. Every task is an experience for us.”
Despite being a star chef, Simmons likes to keep her personal life private on social media. Her Instagram is packed with photos about her job, with a couple about her children thrown in for good measure. There are few images of her with her husband, Abrams, showing that he does not love the spotlight.
How much money does Simmons have?
Simmons began her career as a food critic for the McGill Tribune, then worked for Toronto Life magazine and the National Post newspaper. She had her big break on Bravo’s Top Chef in 2006 and has been on the judges’ panel ever since. The 45-year-old specialist has also presented Top Chef: Just Desserts and appeared on other television programs such as Fox & Friends, The Today Show, and Good Morning America. Simmons has amassed a sizable fortune from his successful careers as a TV personality, culinary expert, and book. According to Celebrity Net Worth, her net worth is believed to be $2.5 million.
