INA AND JEFFREY GARTEN – 50 YEARS
Ina Garten is a celebrity chef that is known and loved by all, but she started out her career working as a nuclear budget analyst – she’d even worked at the White House Office of Management and Budget! Her husband, Jeffrey Garten was a state department worker. The couple met when Ina was just 15 years old, and Jeffrey, so completely smitten with her, made her his wife 5 years later.
Later, Ina pivoted into the food industry and became the host of her own show, Barefoot Contessa. Working grueling careers must have been tough on the couple, but they managed to make it stick – for more than 50 years! That’s quite the testament of love, isn’t it?
