  • The Neely Divorce: Gina And Pat Neely File For Divorce After 20 Years Of Marriage

    The Neely divorce comes as quite a shocker for everyone!

    The successful Food Network couple appeared to be on top of the world.

    With their popular cooking show, Down Home With the Neelys, and best-selling book, Back Home with the Neelys: Comfort Food from our Southern Kitchen to Yours, no one would have guessed there was trouble in paradise.

    The couple, who closed down their Memphis barbecue restaurant last year, were reportedly soaring to new heights with business ventures on a national level. According to News Channel 11, the couple has a deal for a food line with Green Giant Foods and a partnership with Family Dollar. So, things definitely appeared optimistic.

    But, unfortunately, it doesn’t look like they’ll be involved in any joint ventures going forward.

    The publication also specified that Gina Neely has filed for divorce after 20 years of marriage. The television stars, who reportedly cited “irreconcilable differences” for the divorce, also released a joint statement in reference to their decision to part ways.

    “Today we announce that we are ending our marriage of 20 years for irreconcilable differences. This was a tough decision, but we believe it is the best decision for us,” the statement read.

    “As parents of two beautiful adult daughters that we love dearly, we will continue to be involved in each other’s lives as parents and friends. Together we have built a strong brand as The Neely’s,” the statement continued.

    “Moving forward our focus will be on our individual brands and we are optimistic about our respective futures. We ask for your prayers as we go through this transition and honor our request for privacy at this time.”

    Pat Neely reportedly hasn’t issued a response to the divorce filing. But, fans are definitely responding. Needless to say, most fans find their decision disheartening. Although neither have stated why they’ve chosen to split, sources close to the couple revealed they’ve reportedly drifted apart.

  • The Neelys Divorce News Shocks Fans of the Famed Food Network Couple

    Fans of Down Home With The Neelys lost their appetite Friday with the news that their favorite husband and wife cooking team has decided to call it quits after nearly 20 years of marriage.

    According to TMZ, celebrity chef Gina Neely filed for divorce from her 50-year-old husband, Pat Neely.

    In a joint statement released to Memphis news channel WMC News 5, the couple made the announcement that shocked fans.

    “Today we announce that we are ending our marriage of 20 years for irreconcilable differences,” they said in the statement. “This was a tough decision, but we believe it is the best decision for us.

    “Together we have built a strong brand as The Neelys,” said the couple, who are best known for working as a team on their show that began in 2008.”

    “Moving forward our focus will be on our individual brands and we are optimistic about our respective futures,” they said in the statement.

    According to documents filed by Gina, the bubbly cooking team have been separated for two years, which is even more shocking since you would never know they were experiencing difficulties while watching them interact on the show.

    Gina cites irreconcilable differences in the papers. However, the joint statement insinuated that they’re splitting on good terms and will continue to operate their famous New York City barbecue restaurant together.

    The couple, who met in high school, have two adult daughters — Shelbi and Spenser Neely.

  • The Neelys Divorce And Everyone Is STUNNED

    Beloved former Food Network stars Pat and Gina Neely have officially split up.

    According to recent reports, the Neelys have filed for divorce, citing “irreconcilable differences”.

    Fans were hit with a double whammy when the news became official in recent days.

    First there is the divorce itself. The Neelys have been married for nearly two decades. It’s hard to fathom any couple calling it quits after being together for so long.

    The second blow came from the news that Pat and Gina have been quietly separated for about two years.

    The two continued to work together on their popular Food Network show Down Home With The Neelys, and their rapport had many audience members completely fooled.

    Though it must be said that Pat and Gina Neely are absolute professionals. If you appear to get along so well on camera that viewers have no idea you are maritally estranged, that’s a pretty convincing performance.

    Bravo in that regard at least.

    Now we’re left to wonder what happens to the Down Home With The Neelys brand?

    The closest thing to an answer received is that the couple, despite parting on relatively good terms, will be focusing on their “individual brands”.

    This may mean that Food Network will nix this show in favor of a couple of new shows.

    Television fame aside, the Neelys revealed that despite the divorce, the two intend to continue to share ownership of the restaurant that launched their successful careers.

    The couple have two adult daughters together, which means that there will be no child support issues.

    It’s disappointing to see this awesome pair head their separate ways, though it’s admittedly not too surprising when a celebrity couple calls it quits.
