Rachael Ray’s Breezy, Beachside Fashion Was a Real Winner
GettyRachael Ray donned a beachy fashion look for the event, which was also attended by her husband of 20 years, John Cusimano. The couple attended the annual food-related festival, billed as a “five-day celebration showcasing the talents of the world’s most renowned chefs, wine and spirits producers, and culinary personalities.”
In a paparazzi snap, Ray smiled brightly in a tropical print jacket and pants, accented with gold and gray flowers. Underneath the jacket, she wore a silky brown shirt and added a long, gold chain necklace.
The celebrity chef appeared alongside other industry leaders. Per the Atlantis Website, Ray hosted a Wine Dinner during a three-day event with restaurateur Tom Colicchio and former “The Chew” host, Michael Symon, along with participating in other festival activities.
One month prior, Ray attended a Miami event, Mike’s Amazing Burger Bash presented by Schweid & Sons, in February 2026. She co-hosted alongside Brooklyn Beckham, whom she called “no slouch in the kitchen,” according to PEOPLE.
What Is Rachael Ray Doing Today?
Today, Rachael Ray continues to produce food-related content. She has transferred her talents to YouTube, under the banner of Rachael Ray’s Free Food Studios, where she features content filmed at her homes in Upstate New York and Tuscany, Italy.
Additionally, Ray continues to produce new videos for her show “Meals in Minutes” and “Rachael Ray in Tuscany” for the FYI network. There, she showcases recipes that can be produced in a cost-effective and timely manner.
In October 2025, Ray spoke to Us Weekly, clarifying comments that she had disappeared from the public eye. She revealed she remains as busy as ever before.
“I’ve been working constantly. From the time I left the daytime show, I started writing. I write around the clock, and I produce shows with my friends around the clock,” the celebrity chef explained. “So I don’t know why people thought I left.”
However, she believes that this time of her life is “extraordinary” for one particular reason: she’s earned the recognition she’s worked so hard for. “To be a woman in her 50s and still considered relevant is cool, but to have partners that want to help me produce really focused work that I want to produce and support people that I want to support is extraordinary.”
She concluded, “I love this place in my life the best right now. I feel like I really earned this. I earned this in concept, in my mind, in my heart.”
New episodes of “Rachael Ray Meals in Minutes” and “Rachael Ray In Tuscany” air on the FYI Network.
